Professional wrestling certainly isn’t ballet as wrestlers unfortunately do get hurt from time to time. Recently on Raw names like Liv Morgan and Zoey Stark have suffered injuries, and it seems that a notable name has been working hurt over the last few months.
Fightful Select reports that Damian Priest worked banged up a lot throughout his feud with Drew McIntyre, but specifically sustained some injuries that he worked through.
Several WWE sources spoke well of Damian Priest for working through the injuries, and it was noted that working through SummerSlam seems to be something that’s important for the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion as the show is a “home game” for him.
Sources familiar with creative have claimed that Priest is set to be figured into creative for the SummerSlam premium live event significantly so he can be featured appropriately.
Damian Priest last stepped into the ring during the 6/13 episode of SmackDown when he faced off against Cody Rhodes, Andrade and Shinsuke Nakamura in a first round King of the Ring match. Ultimately it was Cody Rhodes who picked up the win to advance to the semifinals.
