Damian Priest reveals major perk of new WWE contract
Damian Priest recently shared a major perk of his new WWE contract he signed last year. The veteran has not been in action since his victory over Drew McIntyre in a Steel Cage match last month at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.
Speaking with Cody Rhodes on the What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, The Archer of Infamy revealed that the company now has him flying in first class as part of his new contract. The former World Heavyweight Champion told the promotion that he didn't want to be in pain anymore on flights due to his size, and the company said that he could sit at the front of the plane moving forward.
"I was like, 'Hey, I don't wanna be in pain anymore. I don't wanna wrestle and then be (hunches over). Because I'm sorry, I am a big guy and I don't fit.' And they were like, 'Yeah that's not a problem, you should have had that already.' I was like, 'Well I don't know the rules, I don't know how to politic, I don't know how to ask for stuff.' That's just not me. But that was the first time they were like, 'Yeah, you can sit at the front of the plane from now on,'" said Priest. [H/T: WrestleTalk]

Bill Apter suggests an interesting WWE storyline for Damian Priest
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently pitched an interesting WWE storyline for Damian Priest.
The former champion used to be a member of The Judgment Day but was betrayed by Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2024. Balor cost Priest the World Heavyweight Championship during his match against Gunther at the PLE last year.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter suggested that Liv Morgan could turn babyface and align with Priest. The Judgment Day has not been on the same page in recent weeks on WWE RAW, and it could lead to Morgan exiting the faction.
"What if Liv Morgan goes babyface and Damian Priest becomes an ally of hers?" [2:35 onwards]
