10 Dream Opponents For Damian Priest's NXT North American Title Reign
6. Oney Lorcan
Speaking of that triple threat with Ridge Holland and Damian Priest, the third man in that match, Oney Lorcan, is an essential opponent for Priest’s North American title reign.
Oney Lorcan is an incredible singles competitor. He might be occupied with the Tag Team title scene as of writing, but Lorcan is an exhilarating wrestler on his own, capable of working wonders with a wide variety of opponents. He has delivered magic television matches with Drew McIntyre, Hideo Itami and recently against Timothy Thatcher and his stiff offence is believable enough to position him as a contender for any opponent.
His hard-hitting offense would be a great fit for Priest’s explosiveness in the ring and given the size difference between the two, we have an immediately tangible narrative for their potential title match. Their chemistry from that triple threat suggests that they’d create dynamite together in a lengthy singles match, with Priest pushing through the devastating uppercuts and chops from the smaller man to gain an earned victory.
Additionally, it’s about time that someone as hard-working as Oney Lorcan has a singles title opportunity in the WWE.
