WWE Royal Rumble 2021: Predicting All 30 Entrants

6. Damian Priest

After a so-so start to his NXT career, Damian Priest now seems ready for the WWE main roster.

Having clearly become more comfortable with his character over the past year, the former Punishment Martinez is on a roll in terms of his in-ring work, his promos, and just the overall presentation he puts forward.

Having left the NXT North American Championship scene in his dust and now out of the NXT Championship picture, logic would suggest a loss to Karrion Kross at New Year's Evil will be followed by a Royal Rumble appearance and a main roster call-up later in 2021.
