WWE has relied on wrestlers such as World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, Jey Uso, LA Knight, and others while Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is off television due to his part-time deal.
The Survivor Series PLE will be headlined by The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Priest, Dominik Mysterio) and JD McDonagh vs. Rollins, Sami Zayn, Uso, and Rhodes in a WarGames Match.
Rhodes scored a win over Priest last Saturday at Crown Jewel. Earlier in the night, Priest attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, but Zayn prevented him from doing so.
Pwinsider reports there’s been a lot of praise lately internally for Priest as the word is that over the last several months, “he’s really impressed management by how hard and physical he’s worked and for gutting through quite a few times where he’s been banged up but kept going.”
It was previously reported that Priest had been seen as a “top-level, upper-echelon talent” before he won Money in the Bank. He continues to get great raves internally.
