At Bad Blood 2024, Damian Priest finally got his redemption on Finn Bálor after emerging victorious in their singles match. The Archer of Infamy had been feuding with The Judgment Day after being betrayed by them at SummerSlam.
Rhea Ripley was also kicked out of the faction after Dominik Mysterio betrayed her at The Biggest Party of The Summer. Meanwhile, after weeks of alliance, the Terror Twins have also decided to go their separate ways following Bad Blood 2024.
In this article, we will discuss three possible directions for Damian Priest after the recent premium live event in Atlanta.
#3. Damian Priest might be the next challenger for Jey Uso
Jey Uso is the current Intercontinental Champion on Monday Night RAW and is set to defend his title against Xavier Woods on tonight’s show. However, if the YEET Master successfully retains his title, the Archer of Infamy could be the next challenger for the Samoan Twin.
Recently, Priest and Jey had each other’s backs when the Intercontinental Champion decided to aid Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest in their battle against The Judgment Day. Now, Damian might confront the former Bloodline member and challenge him for an IC Title match, with Crown Jewel 2024 being the ideal location for the showdown.
#2. The rivalry against The Judgment Day might continue
After Damian Priest defeated Finn Bálor at Bad Blood, a backstage video surfaced where Bálor confirmed that he isn’t done yet with the former World Champion. This shows that The Prince is not satisfied with the outcome of their match at Bad Blood and still seeks vengeance against the former Judgment Day member.
With this in mind, one potential direction for Damian could be to continue his rivalry with The Judgment Day, which could lead to a multi-man match at Crown Jewel or a rematch against Bálor.
#1. Priest might demand a World Title shot against Gunther from Adam Pearce
Damian Priest is surely unhappy about not having the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder. One of the primary reasons behind Priest losing the title was Finn Bálor's betrayal at SummerSlam, which allowed Gunther to take advantage and win the World Title.
Now that Priest has defeated Bálor, the 42-year-old star might demand a World Title shot from RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. The former champion could argue that he lost the title due to a distraction and therefore deserves another opportunity.
With this, he could convince the RAW General Manager to grant him a title match against Gunther, either on RAW or after the Crown Jewel PLE.
