#5. Damian Priest takes an interesting deviation from WrestleMania on RAW and it could lead to big things
This week on RAW, Damian Priest put Shelton Benjamin away with relative ease. The result was never in question, although Priest praised Benjamin for stepping up to the plate on RAW.
However, that wasn't enough for the United States Champion. He stated that he had already defeated competition of Benjamin's caliber before. Seeing as he has already defeated a few former world champions, Priest wanted a higher level of competition on the road to WrestleMania.

His challenge was answered by Finn Balor, who teamed up with Tommaso Ciampa earlier in the night. It was Balor's second appearance on the episode, and their match has been set up for next week on RAW.
It could go one of two ways. The easy and boring option is to simply have Damian Priest retain against Priest Balor and move on to WrestleMania 38. The other option is for the much-teased heel turn to finally take place, potentially after losing the title or nearly losing it.
It would perfectly set up a WrestleMania program between the two men right on time. Hopefully, it would also serve to give some momentum back to Balor, who is in the same position on the main roster that he was a few years ago before he went back to NXT.
