6 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (11 Sept)
5. Boa Constricted
WWE.com
Damien Priest's latest squash victory was again impressive, with his intolerance for newcomer Boa particularly enjoyable after the Breakout Tournament competitor tried twice to control the narrative.
Livid with Boa's original challenge to run the ropes against one another and frankly f*cking furious for him even attempting to return fire with some strikes, Priest's smile was back across his face by the end of the match.
'The Archer Of Infamy' is a perfect example of a prospect that stood to get ruined by an early call-up. A sideways move to television next week could stand his burgeoning WWE career in far greater stead.
