Damian Priest is glad that he has a match at WrestleMania 40.
Since coming to the main roster in 2021, Damian Priest has cemented himself as a major player that can dominate in both the singles division and the tag team division. Despite teaming with Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37 in a highly praised match, Priest did not get the chance to wrestle at WrestleMania 38 or WrestleMania 39, as he was simply left off the card.
While speaking to Steve Fall of WrestlingNews.co for a new interview, Priest stated that he's happy that he gets to compete at WrestleMania 40, despite the fact that the match will be a six team ladder match.
“I know, absolutely. The goal is to have a match, you don’t just wanna show up. The last two WrestleManias, they did hurt a little bit, i'm not gonna lie. I'm happy I get to be on this one, but then it’s like, ‘Well hey, you’re gonna face five other teams in a ladder match.’ I was like, ‘Cool. This is gonna hurt.’ Although, I am excited I get to hurt a lot of different people. This is gonna be one we’re looking for as far as like, we want to be one of those type of ladder matches at WrestleMania that you talk about. ‘You remember that ladder match at this WrestleMania with those people?’, that’s what I want. We’ve had them, they’re iconic, we know which ones stand out but we want to be part of that conversation. I don’t know who’s in the match yet, but just surveying the land, it’s very possible this is going to be banger. Everyone’s gonna show out, it’s WrestleMania, so everyone’s gonna show out anyway. With the talent that we have now and the teams available, I think it could very easily could be one the best ladder matches in WrestleMania history."
Elsewhere in a seperate interview, Priest said that he's going to shut everyone up when he finally cashes in his Money In The Bank briefcase. Learn more here.
