10 Dream Opponents For Damian Priest's NXT North American Title Reign
1. KUSHIDA
After months of being completely ignored by NXT creative, KUSHIDA has finally been given a high profile match and feud against Velveteen Dream. A perfect way to capitalise on his immense talents after this feud ends would be to challenge Damian Priest for the North American Championship.
KUSHIDA is a master of psychology and submissions, there are few better technicians than him in the world right now, with his sadistic limb work and incredible agility making him seem impossible to defeat. He’s a surprisingly stiff striker, capable of squaring off and holding his own with men twice his size, and would get such suspense out of applying his Hoverboard lock onto the Archer of Infamy.
Priest is phenomenal with smaller opponents, and his work with Timothy Thatcher proves he’s capable of selling submissions like they’re the end of the world. Priest countering KUSHIDA’s merciless attacks with sickening kicks and using his power to break free of the Hoverboard lock is something that has to happen in the near future.
This would be a match that defines a reign. If only one match on this list happens, it should be this one, as the two men would put on a match of the year contender together.
