Damian Priest has reportedly been gaining significant respect behind the scenes in WWE in recent weeks.
Pwinsider is reporting that sources indicate that many within the locker room have taken note of Priest’s resilience and strong work ethic, particularly admiring his ability to compete through lingering injuries. Despite being “very banged up,” Priest has consistently delivered, especially in his ongoing rivalry with Drew McIntyre.
WWE colleagues are said to be “marveling at his toughness,” as Priest continues to perform at a high level despite not being at full strength.
Priest and McIntyre are set to face off again this Saturday night, May 24, 2025, in a Steel Cage match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Karrion Kross is riding a major wave of momentum.
Just weeks after delivering a standout post-WrestleMania promo and releasing a critically acclaimed documentary, Kross continues to make headlines — and connect with fans in a big way.
Last week, Kross announced that his official t-shirt would be available at WWE live events, starting with this week’s edition of WWE RAW. True to his word, the shirt made its debut at the show. He said,
“They heard you, loud and clear. About a week ago, I met some fans before and after RAW. A common theme kept coming up: ‘Where can I get your shirt? Where can we get the Kross shirt?’”</b.
While Kross had previously directed fans to WWEShop.com, he recognized that wasn’t enough — fans wanted to grab the merch in person, right at the events. And now, they can.
A fan tweeted a photo of Kross’ shirt on display at RAW, catching the attention of the man himself. Kross responded on social media, expressing gratitude to the fans for the surge in support he’s been receiving.
Very good news…
