10 New Directions For WWE After Backlash 2023

Take a bow, Damian Priest.

Bad Bunny held up his end of the bargain in front of a raucous San Juan live crowd, but Priest was every bit the ring general throughout their 'Street Fight'. He did a fabulous job, and should be rewarded ASAP by higher-ups for helping Bunny put in one of the best celebrity performances in company history.

Another title run would be ample reward. Maybe a tag title could work if Triple H splits those Undisputed belts held by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens into brand-specific titles again. Priest is still on Raw alongside his Judgment Day pals, and it'd be awesome to see he and Finn Bálor hold some gold.

If not that, then putting him in the frame for Money In The Bank this July could well be another prize worth considering. Priest stepped up during this Bad Bunny story, then delivered a match that would've been worthy of headlining.
