#4 Damian Priest's incredible WWE main roster run comes to an end

United States Champion Damian Priest suffered his first pinfall loss in singles competition on the WWE main roster this past week on Monday Night RAW. It was Kevin Owens who pinned him on the red brand to end his incredible run.

After impressing fans and critics during his time in NXT, Priest was called up to the main roster last year after Royal Rumble. Later at SummerSlam 2021, he defeated Sheamus to win his first title on the main roster, the United States Championship.

He has held on to the title for five months now and has had a decent run. After pinning him on RAW, KO might be the next challenger for his US title.


#3 Braun Strowman's interesting pitch for a match against Vince McMahon

Former Universal Champion Braun Strowman recently claimed on Twitter that he pitched the idea of teaming up with his father to face the duo of Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon.

All this happened after he posted a picture of his father on his birthday with several legends commenting on it. A fan asked him if he plans to ever team up with his father, to which he replied:

"Pitched the idea of Shane and Vince vs my Dad and I. Then budget cuts lol," replied Strowman.

Strowman was surprisingly released from WWE last year in June 2021. He has since been working on the independent circuit under the new ringname The Titan.
