Damian Priest Stands By Previous Comments About WWE Main Event Scene, ‘That’s On Me To Make It Different’
Damian Priest is standing by his previous comments.
On the July 24 episode of SmackDown, Priest had some criticism for WWE’s main event scene, saying that “the boys are sick of the same people” being at the top of the card. Triple H responded to these comments after SummerSlam, encouraging wrestlers to take a spot if they want it.
Speaking with Complex Graps for a new interview, Priest explained why he has shifted his perspective on the situation.
“I still stand by what I said, but the change wasn’t them, I realized it was me. I needed to make a change so I can make an impact on what I’m complaining about. That’s on me, you know what I mean? That comment, I still stand by it, that I’m sick and tired of seeing the same people, but that’s on me to make it different, to do something about it. That’s on everybody, that’s on everybody who’s not in that picture to do it. So, that’s exactly what you see happening right now. That’s why I’m doing what I’m doing so I can actually make a difference in that. I can not talk about it, but I can actually be about it. I stand with what I said. Those people are still going to always be a revolving door around the top spot and the titles and the main events because that’s the talent that they are. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t space for anybody else, that’s where I come in. I’ve been there before and it’s been too long since I’ve been there, so I’m coming back for what’s mine again.”
