WWE Star Damian Priest Reveals Career-Changing Match Against Finn Balor at In Your House 2020

Damian Priest, a WWE star who has achieved significant success since joining the main roster three years ago, recently shared a pivotal moment in his career. In an interview, Priest revealed that his 2020 match against Finn Balor at the In Your House event was a turning point for him. This match, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed Priest to unleash his true potential and caught the attention of WWE legends Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

According to Priest, after the match, Michaels and Triple H praised his performance and encouraged him to maintain that level of intensity moving forward. They recognized the authenticity in his performance and urged him to stop pretending and embrace his true self in the ring. The match not only impressed WWE management but also led to a friendship between Priest and Balor.

Interestingly, Priest was originally scheduled to face Gunther leading up to the In Your House event. However, the pandemic disrupted those plans, and Balor reportedly chose Priest as his opponent instead. This unexpected change ultimately led to the career-defining moment for Damian Priest.
