Damian Priest claimed the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania XL by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre. However, former WWE host Matt Camp expressed his belief that Priest’s title reign hasn’t been as successful as expected. Camp mentioned on the Busted Open podcast that Priest’s elevation post-WrestleMania XL is not significant. He feels that Priest is still at the same level he was before winning the title.
Camp also noted that Rhea Ripley seems to be overshadowing Priest currently. Even the Liv Morgan-Dominik Mysterio storyline appears to be garnering more attention than the World Heavyweight Champion. Priest will be defending his title against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle: Scotland after a successful defense against Jey Uso at Backlash: France.

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long shared his thoughts on the upcoming match, praising Priest’s skills and comparing him to Eddie Guerrero.
As the clash between Priest and McIntyre looms, the latter continues his feud with CM Punk. WWE Analyst Sam Roberts speculated that CM Punk might interfere in the match, potentially costing McIntyre the victory. The possibility of this interference adds an intriguing element to the match. The outcome of the Priest-McIntyre showdown remains uncertain, with fans eagerly awaiting to see if McIntyre will be able to dethrone Priest at Clash at the Castle. The dynamics between the wrestlers and the potential interference by CM Punk make this match one to watch closely.
