Damian Priest made a strong impact on Monday Night RAW during his time as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Although his reign is over, hes now focused on winning the title back. That said, WWE is also planning to make changes to his character to support this new direction.
Damian Priest recently lost to Dominik Mysterio on the October 28th edition of Monday Night RAW this week and retaliated by taking out The Judgment Day without Finn Balors involvement.
While speaking on WrestleVotes Radio on Backstage Pass, JoeyVotes and TC talked about Damian Priests future in WWE. They noted that WWE plans to boost Priests popularity by expanding his merchandise and marketability, aiming to push him as a bigger babyface. Tapping into his Puerto Rican heritage, he may start wearing a traditional Vejigante mask, which he previously wore at WrestleMania 40 Night 1. Therefore, this mask could become a key part of his character moving forward.
We will have to wait and see whether Damian Priest embracing his Puerto Rican roots will lead to a huge shift in his character, as its quite evident that his feud with The Judgment Day is far from over now.
Do you believe WWE focusing on Damian Priests Puerto Rican roots will genuinely help his character? Let us know in the comments section below!
