Following the main event of WWE Clash at the Castle on Saturday, many were concerned that Damian Priest may have suffered an injury.

For those who might have missed Clash, there was a scary spot where Priest got his leg caught in the ropes as he was attempting to fly to the outside. In the end, it took a mixture of Drew McIntyre and the referee to get Priest untangled, and the Judgment Day would favour that leg for the rest of the match.

As per Fightful Select, the initial word backstage is that Damian Priest was fine, and he seemingly made the best of the situation by turning that unfortunate happening into a great sell-job throughout the rest of the match. This report also notes that the World Heavyweight Champion - Priest retaining thanks to CM Punk's involvement - received a lot of praise from those within WWE for his performance at Clash at the Castle.
