WWE Superstar Damian Priest (ArcherOfInfamy) spoke to Billboard about his upcoming WWEBacklash match with Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico.
The lovefest between the Puerto Rican stars ended last month, when Bunny involved himself in a skirmish between Priest’s villainous group, The Judgement Day, and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Priest — the stable’s muscle — showcased his unrelenting power, chokeslamming his former friend through a table. Weeks later, Bunny returned the favor, mercilessly attacking Priest with a kendo stick and challenging him to a San Juan Street Fight at the same show he would be hosting in Puerto Rico.
Because you have Puerto Rican roots, what does it mean for you performing in front of your family and friends at this year’s Backlash event? Speaking specifically about Latinos and Hispanics, this is huge. The representation that we’re putting on display right front and center is wild. I get goosebumps just talking about it, because this one means a lot. There’s matches that, obviously, for gain and growth are important, but this one is for a lot of people, not just myself. The pressure is there, but also excitement and the gratitude outweighs that, and I’m so pumped for this.
Then, I started doing my own thing. He went off to do his and I did mine. I’m extremely happy to have my homies in The Judgement Day by my side at all times, and we’ve grown into basically like a family. I know we say that at times on the mic, but we mean it. Like I love those three individuals — they’re like my brothers and sister. I don’t know what I wouldn’t do for them.
With Bad Bunny, we may have our differences now, but I take nothing away from his contributions to what he’s done for the WWE, what he’s done for the culture and what he’s done for me and my name. As much as I hate to admit it, he’s done more for a lot of us than if it just happened on its own. I don’t know if the show in Puerto Rico is happening [without him]. I don’t know where I’m at. My debut on Raw was next to Bad Bunny. I don’t know where I’m at today.
I think Finn Bálor has unfinished business when it comes to a new championship being presented. The last time was the Universal Title, and unfortunately he got to hold it for a day because he got injured. I think he’s hungry, man and I get it. He needs that back. He needs that moment back and showcase what can come after with him being the guy.
