Damian Priest is no longer "over" in WWE, according to Hall of Famer (Exclusive)

Damian Priest is undoubtedly one of the most talented names in WWE at the moment. However, an NWA Hall of Famer Bill Apter thinks that he is set to lose his upcoming match with Gunther at Survivor Series.

Since joining the Stamford-based promotion, Damian has achieved quite a lot. His WWE WrestleMania win over Drew McIntyre, albeit by cashing in his Money in the Bank, got him his first World Heavyweight Title. He later lost the belt to Gunther and SummerSlam due to Finn Balor's interference. The Punisher now has a rematch against The Ring General at Survivor Series.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Bill Apter shared his prediction for the match. The veteran journalist stated that Damian would likely lose the match. Apter thinks that Priest is not as over as he was before.

"There's gonna be some sort of shmuz and Gunther will retain the title. I don't see them giving it to Damian. He is great but I don't see him over in that position again." [From 29:30 to 29:41]

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
