WWE RAW: Top 5 performers on the show - Interesting main event, current champion pinned (Feb 1st, 2021)

#5 Damian Priest officially becomes a part of WWE RAW

Damian Priest made an impressive debut on WWE RAW

This week’s episode confirmed that Damian Priest is now a part of the WWE RAW roster. This former NXT Superstar delivered an impressive performance when he locked horns with The Miz in a singles match. He had helped the rapper Bad Bunny in assaulting Miz and John Morrison during the Royal Rumble match.

Last night, Miz invited Bad Bunny to his show, and the latter ended up inviting Priest. A match was soon booked between Miz and Priest on WWE RAW that accounted for an entertaining encounter inside the squared circle. Priest looked more than ready to pose a serious threat to the WWE RAW roster during his dominant performance against the Money in the Bank holder.

Miz also deserves credit for putting Priest over during this match. The latter’s performance at Royal Rumble and his match on WWE RAW gave the fans a taste of his potential. His brief backstage interaction with Edge also indicated at a possible rivalry on the Red brand. The fans have high expectations from Priest, and it will be interesting to see what is in store for this talented Superstar.
