The current United States Champion is well on the road to superstardom. WWE scored a major win in signing Damian Priest. Even the best pro wrestling scouts, would struggle to find a 6ft 7in guy who can move around the ring like Priest. Most men of his size wouldn't even dare climb the top rope. Especially not with the lingering memory we all have of Sid Vicious' horrific injury.

Priest also deserves considerable credit for turning his WrestleMania program alongside Bad Bunny into one of the highlights of the Night One card. Their tag team match against The Miz and John Morrison was allowed 15 minutes to play out, and was a better clash because of it. Priest ability to adequately prepare the Latin Trap artist for the squared circle is a testament to his talent.

One thing potentially weighing against the 39-year-old is WWE's current concern around having too many talent over 40. However, Priest's sheer talent and ability to excel in his current mid-card champion role are majorly promising. It's unlikely that WWE would miss out on capitalising upon this due to grumblings around a talent's age.
