Speculation suggests this week’s episode of WWE RAW on Netflix could mark Damian Priest’s final appearance on the red brand. The former Judgment Day member’s status follows significant developments in his career trajectory since departing the faction at SummerSlam 2024.
Priest was removed from The Judgment Day after Finn Balor interfered in his World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther at SummerSlam, leading to the beginning of Gunther’s championship reign. Following this betrayal, Priest and Balor engaged in a series of matches, with their recent street fight resulting in another victory for Priest.
Sources indicate WWE could transfer Priest to SmackDown to address the current abundance of challengers for Gunther’s World Heavyweight Championship. Jey Uso is scheduled for a title match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, while CM Punk has also competed for the championship. Additionally, Finn Balor maintains his pursuit of the title.
The potential move could position Priest as a challenger for Cody Rhodes, who currently lacks significant opposition following his program with Kevin Owens.
