No, this entry is not about Bad Bunny. It's about Damian Priest and his bid to become Raw's next breakout star. Early signs are encouraging too. WWE gave Priest a good showing in the Rumble, then made him look like a million bucks 24 hours later.

The company booked Edge to put Priest over for a reason. They want him to work out. Being honest, they kinda' need the former NXT man to land with fans and bring some new eyeballs to the product. Also, that's what Bad Bunny is there for too. WWE hope that his mainstream appeal adds a few digits to the viewership.

Priest is talented enough to make a splash even if he doesn't. Sure, WWE regularly f*ck up NXT 'promotions', but this one deserves a chance. The big man has skills, a marketable look and a real fighting chance of scrapping his way up the ladder.

Enjoy that journey.
