Damian Priest Accepts Responsibility For WWE Main Event Change
“I still stand by what I said, but the change wasn’t them, I realized it was me.— Damian Priest
Damian Priest has taken responsibility for not being in the main event picture after criticizing the lack of fresh faces at the top of WWE cards. During the July 24 episode of SmackDown, Priest stated that the boys are sick of seeing the same people at the top of the card.
Triple H addressed those remarks after SummerSlam by telling wrestlers to take a spot if they want it. In a new interview with Complex Graps, Priest explained his change in perspective on the matter. Priest said he still stands by his original comment but realized the change needed to start with him.
He added that it is on him and everyone not currently in that picture to make a difference rather than just talk about it. Priest noted that the top talent will always revolve around the main events and titles because of who they are, but there is space for others and he intends to claim it.
The former world champion said he has been in that spot before and it has been too long since his last run there. Priest also revealed that his run in AAA is currently on hold.
