Damian Priest's run as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been quite interesting so far. According to NWA Hall of Famer Bill Apter, what impresses him most is how The Judgment Day member carries himself on screen.

According to Bill Apter, carrying the world title is a precise talent in its own right. While often WWE Champions have exuberant personalities and characters, Apter feels that Damian's "polite" and calm behavior has its gravitas, making him an ideal champion.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, the veteran journalist explained his perspective, stating that he brings an "aura" of a world champion to the title.

"Damian Priest is so, such a polite world champion. He is actually, when I am looking at him, he is bringing an aura of World Champion to that belt. I love how he doesn't go crazy, and he is not yelling and screaming you know about the championship and all this. He is very cool and mature... I like what his character is, is that he is reasonable, he is polite and he is just holds that World Championship like a champion." [36:12 onwards]
