🚨 THE REAL REASON DAMIAN PRIEST TURNED HEEL HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN REVEALED...
Damian Priest’s shocking attack on R-Truth was reportedly connected to Rhea Ripley’s absence and WWE’s long-term plans for the Terror Twins.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE remains very high on Priest and Ripley as a pairing and originally wanted to continue using them together.
But with Ripley sidelined through injury, the company needed another direction for Priest.
WWE initially placed him alongside R-Truth, with the duo eventually becoming Tag Team Champions.
However, after several weeks, officials reportedly began to feel that the partnership was holding Priest back rather than elevating him.
That led WWE to return Priest to the role many believe suits him naturally—a heel.
The turn may not spell the permanent end of the Terror Twins, though.
One potential scenario could see Priest eventually turn babyface again and reunite with Ripley when she is ready to return. However, WWE could also decide to abandon those plans depending on her recovery and the direction of Priest’s current storyline.
For now, Priest is back on the dark side—and his partnership with R-Truth appears to have been sacrificed to make it happen.
Was turning Damian Priest heel the right decision? 👀
