WWE star Damian Priest recently confirmed he signed a new contract last year, which included an added perk. During an appearance on What Do You Wanna Walk About? With Cody Rhodes, “The Archer of Infamy,” stated that he negotiated the ability to fly first-class.
“I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t wanna be in pain anymore. I don’t wanna wrestle and then be (hunches over). Because I’m sorry, I am a big guy and I don’t fit,” Priest stated. “And they were like, ‘Yeah, that’s not a problem, you should have had that already’. I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know the rules, I don’t know how to politic, I don’t know how to ask for stuff. ‘ That’s just not me. But that was the first time they were like, ‘Yeah, you can sit at the front of the plane from now on’.
Current World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER also requested and received his own tour bus as part of his contract negotiations last year.
