5 Feuds for Damian Priest on RAW

#3 Feud for Damian Priest on RAW - Sheamus

The Fella is a bad guy once again.

After a brief spell as a face on RAW following the WWE Draft, Sheamus has returned to heel status. He kicked his best friend, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, in the face on the RAW after Royal Rumble. The two will presumably have a title match prior to WrestleMania 37 where McIntyre will likely retain his belt.

Weirdly enough this is exactly how Simon and Garfunkel broke up.But in all seriousness, @WWESheamus is a jerk and we cannot wait to see @DMcIntyreWWE claymore him into another zip code.#WWERaw #MustBeMonday pic.twitter.com/p19sd390ud

Whenever that happens, it will open up another heel to test The Archer of Infamy. Sheamus is hard-hitting and physical, so Priest can have a main-roster test against the former WWE Champion. Priest has held his own against other hard hitters like Keith Lee and Karrion Kross but he lost to both of those Superstars. This would also be a test of his main-roster mettle and give management a sign of what he can do.

The disconnect between NXT and the main roster often hinders the development of NXT stars but some adapt/are booked well right away. Will Priest be one of those performers to start if off on the right foot? Whatever the case, Sheamus should eventually be an opponent for The Archer of Infamy once Priest has gotten his feet wet with a few other heels on RAW.
