Let’s hope for Damian Priest’s sake that he’s headed to the main roster as of this week, because he had a pretty damn good showing Sunday night.

Priest entered the Royal Rumble at #14 and proceeded to toss four men while impressing with his athleticism and skill. Damian has the look, size and makeup to be successful on the main roster (until the writers ruin it), and they could certainly use another guy who looks like a star. He could hang with Riddle and others in the midcard right away, or even be positioned a little higher given his size and offensive repertoire.

Of course, the writers will probably zero in on his silly Archer of Infamy nickname and try to turn him into a Robin Hood character.
