Damian Priest’s History of Botched Moves Surfaces After Scary Clash at the Castle Moment

The WWE’s Clash at the Castle 2024 PLE recorded two major botches that surely scared their fans. And one of which featured the Heavyweight Champion. Damian Priest had a major scare when he tried to jump over the third rope out of the ring on Drew McIntyre, and his ankle got caught between the second and third ropes. Priest said at the post-show conference that he was in pain, and though initially, he thought he was fine, he still had to wait for medical tests.

As later reported on Fightful Select, the initial word from the backstage of the WWE was that Priest was fine and was selling the pain during the match against Drew McIntyre. That is why he received a lot of praise for his performance. It is not the first time that WWE management has praised the Heavyweight Champion, as throughout 2023 he received rave reviews for his in-ring skills and chemistry with his colleagues.

But it is also not the first time that Priest has botched a move. As another clip from his past resurfaces online, it reveals that the big man surely has a tendency to botch aerial moves. And he should avoid it at all costs to avoid risking injury to himself or his opponent.

Damian Priest’s suicidal suicide dive

Recently on Twitter, @FadeAwayMedia shared a video with pro wrestling fans that shows Damian Preist during his run in the Indies. The video from 2017 features a botch by the heavyweight champion that truly could’ve ended his career or even his life. In the video, Priest performs a suicide dive on his opponent outside the ring. However, he is unable to thrust himself enough to reach his opponent and lands at an awkward angle. However, the Judgment Day member managed to stay unharmed.

But it shows that the big man needs quite some work on his high-flying abilities if he wishes to avoid any injuries. After all, even major stars like Jeff Hardy and Mystico (Sin Cara) cannot avoid injuries. Despite being known as some of the best high flyers. And he surely wouldn’t want to miss a fight against Seth Rollins as well. As the Visionary too came out of an injury.

On Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins surprised all fans by making his return to WWE. After having been away from programming since WrestleMania XL, recovering from several injuries, and taking a break. In addition, Rollins already has his first fight confirmed. After making his return, Seth Rollins addressed the fans and hinted at the possibility of participating in Money in the Bank. And have a match to win a shot at one of the World Championships.

Shortly after, he was interrupted by World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest himself. Priest congratulated Rollins on his return and on recovering from his injuries. In addition, he mentioned that he wants to face the best. And that one of those is Rollins. So he proposed a fight between the two for Money in the Bank. Evidently, Rollins agreed. So, are you hyped up for the fight? Who do you think would win? Let us know in the comments.
