Damian Priest, who has been dominating Monday Night RAW as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the past few months, unfortunately missed this week’s SmackDown due to plane issues. He has since issued an apology to fans for his absence.
The June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown took place at Madison Square Garden, providing fans with night full of entertainment. Priest was scheduled to defend his World Heavyweight Championship in a dark match against Jey Uso after SmackDown. However, due to plane issues, he was unable to make it to the event.
Damian Priest took to Twitter to announce his situation and express his disappointment:
“Unfortunately the honor of main eventing The Garden is not possible tonight. Still haven’t taken off. Stuck on a plane on a runway. Very disappointed and apologies to my people. This one hurts. Enjoy the show! #SmackDown I’m sure will be awesome.”
It is certainly unfortunate that “The Archer of Infamy” was unable to compete on SmackDown this week in front of his beloved fans. Despite this setback, fans eagerly await his return and hope to see him make up for this missed opportunity soon.
Priest’s commitment to his fans and the sport is evident, and his absence only heightens the anticipation for his next appearance. As the World Heavyweight Champion, his resilience and dedication continue to inspire, ensuring that his next performance will be met with even greater enthusiasm.
