Having made his formal main roster bow at last month’s Royal Rumble PPV and subsequently landed on the Raw brand, there’s now news on how Damian Priest is settling into main roster WWE life.

As per Fightful Select, Priest is said to have made a hugely positive impression on WWE officials since departing NXT.

The Archer of Infamy’s Royal Rumble appearance and his outing on the post-Rumble Raw saw him turning heads in all the right ways. Additionally, his handling of being “thrown into the deep end” with such big roles on both of those nights has been lauded by those behind the scenes in WWE.

Priest has continued to impress in the weeks since his main roster debut, with him having been showcased at the side of global megastar Bad Bunny in his Raw outings to date.

While it’s not been confirmed at this stage, there is plentiful speculation that Damian Priest and Bad Bunny could team to take on the tandem of the Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37 – with would be a fantastic spot for Priest to find himself in, paired up with a huge mainstream name at the biggest wrestling PPV of the year.
