Kevin Nash speaks highly of Damian Priest.
Damian Priest's career has reached a new level, as he now reigns supreme as the World Heavyweight Champion. He is currently feuding with Drew McIntyre on WWE Raw. Priest will defend his title against McIntyre at WWE Clash at the Castle.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast with co-host Sean Oliver, Kevin Nash commented on the segment with Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre on the May 27 episode of WWE Raw.
“I just think that Damian [Priest] has really fucking risen to the occasion. When he went toe to toe [with Drew McIntyre], Drew’s a big fucker, [but] Damian’s star power gave him the appearance of being bigger than he actually is. He just looked like a star, he looked so comfortable. He looked like he should have that belt," Nash said.
Oliver responded by wondering whether this was a case of someone being given a chance and subsequently seeing him in a different light. Nash highlighted how Priest was paired with Rhea Ripley, and now he was the one carrying the torch. He then stated that Priest was as big a star as WWE had.
“How much of that is the fact of Rhea [Ripley] is so good. She’s a once-in-a-generation talent, so when you’re packaged with her, and she’s doing a lot of the mic work, how much of that is, now he’s carrying the torch along with the strap. You don’t have to hit a curveball, you don’t have to hit 100 miles an hour. It’s whatever is fucking written on a piece of paper happens, and if you just so happen to fucking click with what they’re doing, the sky’s the limit. Priest is, to me, as big a star as they’ve got right now," Nash said.
