Damian Priest is still recovering from WrestleMania 41.
'The Show Of Shows' featured an intense match between Priest and McIntyre, as they competed in a Sin City Street Fight.
Over two weeks later, it appears that Priest is still feeling the aftermath of the street fight heading into Backlash on Saturday.
“I still haven’t recovered from Mania physically." Priest told MLB Network in a new interview. "So I’m looking at this match and I’m thinking to myself, ‘Okay, so I’m definitely gonna feel pain for a while.’ It is what it is, like I said, these are some of the heaviest hitters in the company, big guys that are mega stars right now. I’m looking forward to it because I love that physicality anyway.”
Backlash will feature a four way match for the United States Championship. Jacob Fatu will defend the title against Adam Priest, Drew McIntyre, and LA Knight.
Priest previously stated that he wants to win the United States Championship at Backlash so he can defend it at SummerSlam. Check out his full comments here.
