These superstars desperately need to win their matches at WrestleMania Backlash

#5 Damian Priest (Lumberjack match against The Miz to at WrestleMania Backlash)

Damian Priest can use a big win at WrestleMania Backlash

At WrestleMania Backlash, Damian Priest will face The Miz in a Lumberjack match. The two have been feuding ever since Priest made his debut on WWE RAW. This storyline has been going on for a while, and it should end with The Archer of Infamy picking up a win at the upcoming pay-per-view. Both superstars will then be free to pursue other challenges on the Red brand.

The Miz and John Morrison have attacked Priest on multiple occasions. The latter deserves credit for taking the fight to them every single time. He recently defeated Morrison and got the opportunity to pick the stipulation for the match at WrestleMania Backlash. Given that The Miz has sneakily escaped on multiple occasions, Priest's decision to make it a Lumberjack match seems apt.

The A-Lister recently won the WWE Championship, but he was mainly booked as a transitional title-holder. After his storyline with Priest ends, he will be free to go after other opportunities that can get him closer to the title. He will obviously have a lot on his plate with the Money in the Bank pay-per-view coming up.

Damian Priest’s recent run on WWE RAW has gotten mundane, and he needs a big win that can finally thrust him forward on the roster. A win at WrestleMania Backlash could be significant for his future on the Red brand.
