Damian Priest reflects on "special moment" in WWE career
WWE Superstar Damian Priest completed his lifelong dream of performing at the prestigious Madison Square Garden when the United States Champion faced off against The Miz at a Live Event.
Being a New Yorker, Damian Priest was a regular at WWE’s Madison Square Garden shows while growing up, but performing there was something that had escaped The Archer of Infamy until now.
The RAW superstar's first outing at the arena was a successful one as he retained his United States Championship against The Miz. Priest took to Twitter after the match to reflect on this special moment.
"Dreams can be real. What a special night. #LiveForever"- Priest wrote
Dreams can be real. What a special night. 🙏 #LiveForever
