10 Dream Opponents For Damian Priest's NXT North American Title Reign

We don’t see much of the Brazilian on NXT since being featured on RAW Underground, but he’s still listed on the brand's roster and should be utilised as a challenger in the near future.

As a Capoeira and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu expert, Ruas presents himself in the ring like no one else on the entire WWE roster and given that he hasn’t had much time to showcase his talents on NXT TV, he’s also extremely underrated.

Bringing him out as an impromptu challenge for Priest’s North American Title would give him a platform to show the world what he’s capable of in a high profile match for the first time and would give Priest a title defence that helps his reign stand out further.

The potential of Ruas out-wrestling and grounding the larger Priest with his marital arts experience, forcing the champion to rely on his resiliency and wrestling ability instead of just power would be a great way to put over Priest as someone who can handle any adversity. Additionally, it would finally give Ruas a spotlight that he’s currently not been granted, and could potentially lead to him being a featured player on television.
