Damian Priest: Bio
Damian Priest prowls WWE with one goal in mind: To carve a legacy so undeniable that his name will live forever.
As mysterious as he is imposing, the towering Superstar serves as the muscle of The Judgment Day alongside his cohorts Rhea Ripley, Finn Bálor and Dominik Mysterio. Armed with immense power and an extensive knowledge of martial arts, the New York slugger is an unbridled force to be reckoned with, but he exudes the quiet confidence of a man who knows he’s always in control of his situation, no matter the arena.
Once a beloved Superstar, Priest teamed up with none other than Bad Bunny to pick up a win at WrestleMania over The Miz & John Morrison. He also defeated Sheamus to win the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2021.
Feeling like the WWE Universe wasn't giving him his due, however, he soon turned to the dark side and helped Edge defeat AJ Styles at WrestleMania. Priest and Rhea Ripley briefly became Edge's followers, forming The Judgment Day, but they quickly excavated him from the group in favor of Finn Bálor, the apparent new leader of the dark faction.
Priest’s newfound mean streak lead him to the biggest match of his career as he went one-on-one with his former friend Bad Bunny in a San Juan Street Fight at WWE Backlash in his hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The big man followed that milestone with another when he won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2023, christening himself Señor Money in the Bank.
At WrestleMania XL, Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on new World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre, stealing his thunder and his newly won title.
Priest's Heavyweight Title reign came crashing down at SummerSlam, after Finn Bálor shockingly turned on his friend, allowing Gunther to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, forever rupturing The Judgment Day.
Priest may very much be a man of the new millennium, but watch out, because once The Archer of Infamy takes aim at a target, he doesn’t miss.
