Damian Priest sustained an injury during his match at the WWE Backlash Premium Live Event last night, May 10, 2025. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque confirmed the news during the post-show press conference.
Levesque announced that, “Damian Priest had a tooth knocked loose tonight.” Priest was a participant in the highly chaotic United States Championship Fatal Four-Way match at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
The physically demanding contest saw Priest compete against champion Jacob Fatu, Drew McIntyre, and LA Knight. The match featured several high-impact moments, including a spot where Priest and McIntyre went through tables off a barricade, though it was not specified if this was when Priest’s tooth was dislodged.
No further details on the severity of the injury or Priest’s immediate status were provided by Levesque beyond the confirmation of the loosened tooth. Such injuries are an unfortunate risk in the intense environment of WWE’s Premium Live Events. Fans will likely await further updates on Damian Priest’s condition following the hard-hitting championship encounter at Backlash.
