5 WWE Superstars who could dethrone Damian Priest for the United States Championship
Few WWE Superstars this year have carved a more praise-worthy journey than the reigning United States champion Damian Priest.
First, Damian Priest and Bad Bunny overcame The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37. Priest then won his first championship on the main roster by beating Sheamus for the United States title at SummerSlam 2021. He then successfully defended the title against The Celtic Warrior and Jeff Hardy in a Triple Threat Match at Extreme Rules 2021.
Over the last few months, WWE Universe has witnessed a more destructive side of Damian Priest. During matches, there have been moments that have sparked Priest to unleash the Damian within him, which has been detrimental to his opponents.
A host of superstars, like T-Bar, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rick Boogs, Sami Zayn, and Apollo Crews have had to bear the brunt of this vicious side. Priest has laid opponents to waste, making it a fearsome proposition to step in the ring with him.
In this article, we look at five superstars who can muster up the courage to dethrone Damian Priest for the United States title.
#5. WWE Superstar – Dolph Ziggler
