Damian Priest says he’s signed a new deal with WWE.
The new World Heavyweight Champion revealed the news in a WWE digital exclusive released following last night’s Raw.
Priest told Cathy Kelley:
This has already been a great year for me. New contract, new title, new theme song voiced by yours truly. Judgment Day is on fire.
Priest won his first-ever world title by cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 40 night two. Drew McIntyre had just defeated Seth Rollins for the belt but was vulnerable after being hit in the head with an arm brace by CM Punk.
Jey Uso has earned the first shot at Priest’s belt. Uso won a fatal four-way match against Bronson Reed, Ricochet, and McIntyre in the Raw main event to become the number-one contender.
Priest also addressed his upcoming challenger during the interview:
Main Event Jey Uso, let me be the first to congratulate you on earning the first shot at my World Heavyweight Championship. Don’t get carried away with the celebration because when the match happens, I’m going to beat the yeet out of you.
