Damian Priest may have lost the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XL but he won the World Heavyweight Championship on the same weekend. Due to this, the target on his back has only grown larger, but it looks like he already has his sights set on another person.
At the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match, Andrade returned to WWE after being released from the Stamford-based promotion in 2021. One of the groups he collided with was The Judgment Day, and he even teased joining them earlier as well. However, before WrestleMania XL, the 34-year-old star attacked Dominik Mysterio and Legado Del Fantasma to join Rey Mysterio. On the latest episode of RAW, Andrade's feud with The Judgment Day may have been extended after Damian Priest attacked him after a match.
There are a variety of reasons why Andrade must challenge Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Andrade would be a good first opponent for Damian Priest
Damian Priest has feuded with several stars throughout the years, whether as a singles star or part of a tag team. However, one star he has not collided with is Andrade.
Both men could benefit from facing each other for the World Heavyweight Championship. Andrade is a former NXT Champion himself, making him an interesting opponent to clash with Damian. On the other hand, Priest proving himself to be a veteran of the squared circle will help build his character as a fighting champion.
Andrade vs. Damian Priest could even lead to an unexpected tag team
One advantage that Damian Priest has over any of his opponents is he has The Judgment Day to rely on. If things are going south, Priest could rely on his group to have his back and ensure the gold stays within the faction. However, it looks like Andrade is also making moves to ensure he would have the same advantage.
Most recently, Andrade began teaming up with Ricochet on RAW. Last week, the latter saved the former from The Judgment Day's attack, and this could continue for a while. Before the former AEW star could have a singles feud with the current World Heavyweight Champion, Priest could team up with Finn Balor while Andrade could join hands with Ricochet.
Andrade winning the title could lead to a lot of possibilities
Although Andrade held a WWE title in the past, it has never been for a world title. After being hindered on his initial main roster run, the 34-year-old star could finally get the gold and be able to prove himself against several other major stars. However, this could also mean that Damian Priest could engage in a more personal feud.
On the latest episode of RAW, tensions within The Judgment Day were teased, hinting at a possible split soon. With this in mind, Finn Balor could cost Damian the World Heavyweight Championship during the match and engage in a feud that does not truly need a championship to be talked about.
