Damian Priest has been one of RAW's top stars in 2021. Few superstars in WWE have received the consistent push that Priest has, and it's no surprise that in a little over half a year after his main roster debut, he captured the United States Championship.

It's a title he has held on to, pinning the likes of Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, T-Bar, and more. Recently, Damian Priest made his return to the Monday night show after a few weeks away and he seemed to have a transition in character.

His "darker" side meant that he wasn't a full babyface anymore, but he was in limbo where he wasn't a heel either. "Tweeners", as they're called in wrestling, classify characters who aren't in either babyface or heel category.

Priest has teased his more aggressive side on RAW, and we saw that at Survivor Series when Rick Boogs "disrespected" him by playing the guitar to distract the US Champion.

He didn't take well to this and broke the guitar before hitting Boogs with it and then Nakamura, which led to him facing a rare defeat, even if it was by disqualification.

We could see a full-blown heel turn by the US Champion on RAW tonight, although we can also understand WWE being hesitant to make the turn right now.
