WWE Bad Blood 2024 turned out to be a mixed night for The Terror Twins' fans as Damian Priest announced a split from Rhea Ripley after winning his match against Finn Balor. The former World Heavyweight Champion's first words on Instagram since the confirmation caught the attention of CM Punk and Bayley, among others.

Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are two of the closest friends in WWE, not just on-screen but behind the camera as well. The duo stuck by each other's side after getting kicked out of The Judgment Day. However, after his victory over Finn Balor at Bad Blood 2024, The Archer of Infamy announced that he and Mami would be going their separate ways and would not be involved in each other's storyline anymore.

While the former World Heavyweight Champion has not spoken much since the announcement, he recently posted a picture of himself wearing the Bad Blood 2024 gear.

Several of Priest's colleagues reacted with a like on his picture, including Natalya, Raquel Rodriguez, Austin Theory, and Rey Mysterio. CM Punk and Bayley even dropped comments under his post.

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is responsible for Damian Priest's unusual nickname

Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley have been close since before they joined The Judgment Day. The two were the first to join the heel faction which, at that time, was led by Edge, now known as Adam Copeland. The duo have remained by each other's side for the last few years and often travel together when they are on the road for WWE programming.

Rhea, who is much goofier in real life, recently opened up about Priest's unusual nickname. The Archer of Infamy is often called 'Bisexual Undertaker' by online fans:

"I love it. I love it. If anyone can find my comment on his photo, I think where he's sitting on a throne, you can tell that I love it. He hates it. You know, he's a very flamboyant man. You know, he does a little hair flick every now and then before going in a battle. He's just like, yeah, he's definitely a bisexual Undertaker. I'm sorry, Priest. I love you."

Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest seem to be moving on from their feud with The Judgment Day. However, the feud between the two sides is not yet over and WWE could revisit it down the line.
