That’s what happened. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest was recently interviewed by The New York Post, where he discussed several topics. Among them were his 24/7 documentary, not kicking out at Money in the Bank 2024, his relationship with Rhea Ripley, and more.
Below are some highlights from the interview:
On his WWE 24/7 documentary:
“I’m surprised every day that I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to live this way,” Priest said. “After everything had taken so long, I was still able to achieve this little boy’s dream. It means the world to me. I feel every bit of excitement and proudness and just gratefulness with my crazy ass journey.”
On the botched kick out at Money in the Bank:
“The idea that I forgot to kick out, that’s not a thing,” he said. “That’s not a thing. We don’t forget to kick out. Twenty years in, I’m pretty sure there is some kind of muscle memory there. So me forgetting was not the case. There was nothing outside that was supposed to happen. It was a matter of there was a situation, but I’m OK. Everybody’s fine, the story continues.”
“It doesn’t affect anything,” Priest said. “The show goes on and I think fans are very invested in everything that’s going on. The ones that matter knew the situation and nobody thought twice about it. It was, move on.”
On his relationship with Rhea Ripley:
“We just got back from the gym and we were riding in the car and I literally told her, ‘Man, it’s really good to have you back.’ I’ve felt like I’ve been missing something and it was my friend,” Priest said. “It’s my road buddy. It’s my backstage buddy. Besides our TV dynamic, it’s everything else. I missed having that person next to me that also pushes me.”
