"Make him a major player" - Wrestling veteran urges WWE to push Judgment Day member as a major singles star (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo feels Damian Priest is the only bright spot in the Judgment Day and he needs to sever ties with the group immediately.
The Judgment Day has been in turmoil over the last few weeks. It all started with Dominik Mysterio losing the North American Championship at NXT Deadline. In the weeks that followed, R-Truth showed up and claimed to be a member of the faction. He even defeated JD McDonagh on RAW in a "Loser leaves Judgment Day" match.
On the latest episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo claimed that he was never a fan of the Gothic stable. The former writer mentioned that WWE needs to remove Priest from the rest of the group and set him on a singles run.
Russo felt that Damian should be a major singles star and move away from the group.
"Like I said, the only thing worth anything is you gotta get Damian Priest out of there. Make him a major player. The rest of it is a freaking joke." [From 14:03 - 14:20]
