While speaking to News 12 in a new interview, Damian previewed the upcoming event, stating that he hopes to win the WWE United States Championship at Backlash, and defend it at SummerSlam later this year.

"It's gonna be setting the table for what's gonna be the greatest SummerSlam of all time. I mean, it's already guaranteed to be that. So, I'm hoping that at Backlash I could win the United States Championship for a second time. Then go on and defend it, hopefully have Money In The Bank, and then defend it again here in front of the hometown."

As mentioned, Priest is set to be involved in a fatal four way bout for the WWE United States Championship at WWE Backlash on May 10th. You can read more about that here.
