Judgment Day member changing his appearance and leaving the group to become a major star must happen, says ex-WWE employee
Former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci believes Damian Priest could become the next top Latin superstar.
Priest is currently a member of The Judgment Day, alongside JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley. Over the past year, the 41-year-old received a significant push, winning the 2023 Money in the Bank briefcase. He and Balor also captured the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.
Speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, Carlucci addressed Priest's future in the Stamford-based company, claiming he could become the next big Latin star after Rey Mysterio. However, the former WWE employee suggested that Señor Money in the Bank must leave The Judgment Day and change his look.
"The other guy I wanted to hit was Damian Priest because they were always looking for that next Latin star. I know that because I was in international TV for years. And they knew Rey wasn't gonna be around forever. So, they really never found that next huge Latin star like Rey Mysterio. I think Damian Priest could be that guy if he changes his look a little, get him out of The Judgment Day, because he is money in my eyes," he said. [25:38 - 26:02]
