WWE Superstar Damian Priest made headlines by winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. This victory came after he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase following an assault on Drew McIntyre by CM Punk. Priest, also known as The Archer of Infamy, pinned McIntyre, thus securing the title. His first title defense took place at Backlash France against Jey Uso, where he successfully retained his championship. The upcoming Clash at Castle Premium Live Event on June 15 will see Priest defending his title once again, this time against Drew McIntyre in his homeland of Scotland.
Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. shared his predictions on his Wrestling with Freddie podcast regarding the future of Priest as the World Champion. He dismissed the idea of McIntyre winning in Glasgow, confidently stating, “Damian Priest is winning that match.” Prinze Jr. also speculated about Gunther being the one to eventually dethrone Priest at WWE SummerSlam in 2024. Gunther, who won the King of the Ring tournament in Saudi Arabia, is set to challenge Priest for the title, as announced by Triple H. Prinze Jr. expressed his admiration for Gunther’s wrestling skills and predicted his victory over Priest at the upcoming SummerSlam event.

In the midst of all this, drama unfolded within The Judgment Day faction. Liv Morgan, in the absence of Rhea Ripley, found herself entangled in a storyline on WWE RAW involving Dominik Mysterio. Despite some romantic tension between the two, Damian Priest intervened, warning Morgan to stay away from the Women’s World Champion, referring to her as a “red flag.” The unfolding events not only involve the in-ring action but also the personal dynamics and relationships between the wrestlers.
As the WWE universe eagerly anticipates the outcome of the upcoming Clash at the Castle event, where Priest faces McIntyre, the speculations and predictions surrounding the future of the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2024 add an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for fans of the sport.
