#4 Awarded Damien Priest a huge victory
It was impossible to defeat the extremely dominant former NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne when he had the title firmly held between his teeth, but Superstars have found a way to outsmart 'The Bruiserweight' whenever the opportunity arises.
Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.
The first chapter of the rivalry between Pete Dunne and Damien Priest played out this week, as 'The Bruiserweight' dominated and attacked 'The Archer of Infamy' with everything he had.
The match saw Dunne dominate for most of the bout, yet Priest kept finding something or the other to counter the attacks and delay the result of the match.
After some big moves and strikes, 'The Archer of Infamy' saw there was no real way to put down the former NXT UK Champion cleanly, and resorted to a low blow to weaken him before delivering The Reckoning for the win.
This was a sweet touch to get Priest across as a legitimate threat to the top of the roster without hurting Dunne’s image too much. Dunne was already involved in a heated exchange with Killian Dain before his match, and the entire segment saw him coming out strong even though Priest was victorious. This will certainly be the beginning of a long and interesting rivalry.
