8. Damian Priest
Last Month’s Ranking: No. 5
Last Month’s Segments: Since losing his title because of Finn Bàlor, Damian Priest has been hellbent on payback. Priest has been getting destroyed by Judgment Day for weeks. “The Punisher” was focused on getting his hands on Bàlor in particular but hadn’t been able to until Bad Blood. These two have good on-screen chemistry, and I enjoyed the build-up.
Bad Blood Performance: Damian Priest has some of the best strikes on the roster, a trait that was on full display in Georgia. The size difference between him and Bàlor played to both their strengths. Priest’s offense is enjoyable to watch because he blends his mixed martial arts background with pro wrestling, which can be challenging for a less skilled competitor. The New Yorker got the win here and looked strong in the process.
