Priest says changing the main-event picture starts with him
Summary
– Damian Priest still stands by his criticism of WWE’s main-event scene
– He says the responsibility to change it falls on wrestlers outside that picture, including himself
– Priest wants to reclaim a top spot he has held before
Damian Priest still believes WWE’s biggest matches feature many of the same names, but he now says it is up to him to change that. Speaking with Complex Graps, Priest explained that his frustration has become motivation to earn his way back into the main-event picture.
Priest previously criticized the rotation of established stars such as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Seth Rollins at the top of the card. He said his complaint was not about those wrestlers, but about what he needed to do to make an impact.
Priest acknowledged that top stars have earned their positions through their talent and popularity. He also echoed the idea that a wrestler has to earn a place at the top rather than expect an opportunity simply because they have waited for one.
The former World Heavyweight Champion has been in that position before, and he now wants to return. Priest said he intends to back up his criticism by making himself impossible to overlook.
