Recently, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest received some advice from wrestling legend Jim Cornette.
Cornette believes Priest needs to strengthen his villainous persona (heel heat) without Judgment Day by his side, especially since Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio are gone.
What’s Next for Priest?
Cornette proposes letting Judgment Day pursue its own storyline while Priest establishes himself as a dominant champion.
This strategy would allow Priest to stand on his own two feet and potentially become an even bigger threat on SmackDown.
However, there are also arguments to be made for Priest remaining with Judgment Day. The group could provide backup and muscle, shielding Priest from potential challengers. Additionally, the dynamic between the members could continue to entertain fans.
It remains to be seen how WWE will book Priest moving forward. A solo run could be the key to his success as champion, but the power of Judgment Day shouldn’t be ignored. Only time will tell what path WWE chooses for Priest and how he will defend his hard-earned title.
