Hats off to New Day, Damian Priest, Miz, Elias and Jaxson Ryker, all of whom pulled together a nice, fast-paced six-man tag match on Monday night.

The six-man match saw Kofi Kingston spend a good amount of time being beaten down, but Damian Priest saved the day, running wild with a flurry of offense on all three heels. Priest looked like a million bucks here, mixing in martial arts and some high-impact offense, including a diving spinning heel kick and a dive to the flor.

In the end, Xavier Woods flipped out of Ryker’s grasp and rolled him up with a small package for the win, allowing the babyfaces a chance to celebrate.

Here’s hoping that WWE is continuing on with Priest, because he looked really strong here and could be an asset if the company can actually gets behind him.
