Internal Reaction to Damian Priest’s Performance at WWE Clash at The Castle

Damian Priest won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by cashing in on Drew McIntyre, and he retained the title at Clash at The Castle with some assistance from CM Punk. With that said, WWE’s internal reaction to Priest’s performance has now been revealed as well.

During the main event match between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre at the Clash at The Castle Premium Live Event, Damian Priest attempted a high-flying move to the outside on McIntyre. Unfortunately, McIntyre’s ankle got caught on the rope, leading to a moment where he nearly fell on his head, causing concern among the fans. Despite this scare, Priest ultimately secured the victory after CM Punk interfered, costing McIntyre the match.

While speaking on Fightful Select’s Backstage report, Sean Ross Sapp revealed that Damian Priest received a ton of praise for his performance at Clash at The Castle last week.
