#1. Damian Priest turned heel during his title defense on WWE RAW

Damian Priest defended his United States Championship against Dolph Ziggler in the biggest match of WWE RAW this week.

Ziggler used his heelish tactics to gain the upper hand. Priest countered a Zig-Zag attempt and hit a big boot to the face. The Show-Off used his experience well and tried to slow down his larger opponent. He ran Priest from corner to corner and slammed his head into the top turnbuckles.

Priest powered back and showcased his strength by hitting some impressive moves. Ziggler continued to sell them flawlessly and stayed alive to keep the action ticking. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion slapped Priest across the face to unleash his wrath.

The Archer of Infamy cornered Ziggler and swarmed him with strikes, ignoring the referee's five-count and forcing a disqualification. He finished off Ziggler with The Reckoning to end the segment on RAW.

It looks like Priest has officially turned heel as he can no longer keep his temper under control. Ziggler was a great opponent for him once again and sold his moves well.

The ending on RAW suggests that WWE could be saving a rematch between the two men at Day 1. They can put on another show if other top matches need to be pulled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
