WATCH: Jose Trevino honors WWE's Damian Priest with custom Yankees legacy title belt & jersey

The Yankee Stadium had a visit from the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. Just a couple of days ago, Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to earn his maiden WWE title at Wrestlemania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.

Priest, who was in Juan Soto's jersey, paid a visit to his hometown Bronx and greeted many Yankees superstars. On his arrival, the Yankees honored him with a custom Yankees legacy title belt and jersey through catcher Jose Trevino. WWE and Yes Network posted glimpses of the visit on Instagram.

Here's the video:

Priest also met the star Yankee duo of Soto and Aaron Judge and posed for pictures with them. Judge gifted him one of his bats, to which Priest was grateful.

“I’m a big fan our yours,” Priest told Judge. “I was just talking about you, the way you carry yourself, and the way you represent this team is beautiful.”

Priest, who grew up near Castle Hill, is a big fan of the Yankees and the New York Knicks.

In WrestleMania 40, Priest and Finn Baylor lost their Undisputed World Tag Team championship on Saturday in a six-pack ladder contest. However, he was still holding the Money in the Bank contract that he could use to settle for a title match.

Drew McIntyre beat Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title but received a beat down from CM Punk. That gave Priest an opportunity to run down to the ring and pin McIntyre to earn the title.
