Damian Priest and Sheamus had one of the more underrated feuds heading into SummerSlam 2021. It was fun to watch, and it culminated with their US Title match at the Biggest Party Of The Summer.

At SummerSlam, the two would have an entertaining bout as expected. While 100% of the crowd didn't react to the match, there was still a good enough number that cheered for both men, making it a good contest.

WWE has done well with Damian Priest so far - better than they've handled most of the main roster call-ups from NXT. His association with Bad Bunny seems to have paid dividends. The Archer Of Infamy has been on a tear throughout the year, and at SummerSlam 2021, he cemented himself as one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE this year.

The big question is whether WWE can be consistent with Priest as the United States Champion. The way he has been presented leading up to SummerSlam, it's clear that the higher-ups favor him, which is good news for the Archer Of Infamy in the long run.
