#2. Damian Priest - Enough momentum for a first title win at SummerSlam 2021?

Damian Priest has won nearly every match in WWE this year heading into SummerSlam 2021. He debuted in the Men's Royal Rumble this year and his pairing with Bad Bunny did wonders.

While Bunny was undoubtedly the star of his match at WrestleMania 37, Damian Priest got the rub. He even continued his feud with The Miz and John Morrison and came out victorious.

He took a small hiatus due to an injury and returned to his winning ways. It led to a SummerSlam feud against Sheamus, where The Archer of Infamy will get his first opportunity at a title on the WWE main roster.

Damian Priest is a former NXT North American Champion, but he has a chance at dethroning Sheamus and capturing the United States Championship. Credit must be given to The Celtic Warrior, who has done well to carry the United States title despite not having the strongest set of opponents.

All reigns must come to an end and at SummerSlam, it's Priest who needs the win more than Sheamus. While one could argue that it's less "desperate" than others on the list, it would be deflating to see him lose to Sheamus after all the momentum he has gathered.
