Damian Priest is having fun with The Judgment Day, and he wants to make sure the group excels by treating its members as equals.
Priest is a founding member of the faction; he joined forces with Edge at WWE WrestleMania 38. The duo later added Rhea Ripley to the mix before Finn Balor became the newest addition in June. Upon Balor's arrival, he, Priest, and Ripley kicked Edge out and started a new era for the stable.
Speaking with Rick Ucchino of the Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, Priest discussed the group's new dynamic and emphasized that, at any given time, one of the members can be put in the spotlight. He noted that, as far as the individual focus for the group, it's like a "revolving door."
“It’s one of those things, it’s [like] who is this about right now? Let’s support that one person. If it’s all three, it’s fine it’s all three. But it’s a revolving door for us. Nobody is more important than the next. We have to be this way for it to work out the way we want it to be. So no, there isn’t one set person. It’s, if today is about Rhea, we’re gonna have her back 100% and make sure it’s about Rhea. If it’s about me, they’re gonna do that for me. If it’s about Finn, Rhea and I will do that for him," Priest said.
Priest then agreed with Ucchino when he said that it feels like fans are about to see a new side of Ripley. The former WWE United States Champion noted that, despite her previous accomplishments, people still don't know what she's capable of.
“Absolutely, the world doesn’t even know what she’s capable of, and that’s crazy to think with all that she’s accomplished already. So now the shackles are off a little bit, and that was the point of The Judgment Day is let’s do this our way. Now, we’re really gonna have fun. We were having fun before. Individually, we were all successful, we were all happy and having fun. But this is a blast, and all we talk about is the crazy things we’re gonna do. We’re just starting. People don’t even know what The Judgment Day is yet, realistically. But right now the goal is just cause chaos, beat the hall out of everybody and have the most fun possible, and Rhea’s just so happy about that, especially the chaos part," he said.
Priest will battle Edge on the August 22 episode of WWE Raw. You can check out the announced card here.
