3. Another Week, Another Priest/Finn Confrontation

Sometimes, there are heated rivalries that are so electric that they can carry on week after week with no end in sight, and fans will never tire of them.

And then there’s Damian Priest and Finn Balor.

Priest has settled into a solid role as an upper-mid-card babyface, but we’re now five months into this ongoing feud between him and former stablemate Balor, with no end in sight. They’ve fought and Damian has decisively won, but Finn and his Judgment Day cohorts continue to attack the former world champion on an almost weekly basis.

Monday, Priest grabbed backup in the form of the new World Tag Team Champions the War Raiders to take on Judgment Day, and the six men delivered a solid, if unspectacular, match. After Priest picked up the victory, he immediately was jumped by Balor until Erik and Ivar could make the save.

So once again, the feud must continue. Can we please get a blowoff match and move on?
