On Monday Night Raw: July 26th, 2021, Damian Priest defeated Sheamus to earn an opportunity to battle for the United States Championship title. He defeated the champion in a non-title match but WWE referred to the match as the contenders’ match.
The premise of Damian Priest and Sheamus’ feud is that the champion is a bully. And Priest will not let him continue his reign of bullying within WWE. Therefore, after defeating Sheamus on Monday Night Raw, Priest explained why he will not allow the champion to constantly attack others and why he intends to put a stop to this.

“I didn’t grow up with much, right? I am from the Bronx and growing up we had to literally scratch and crawl for anything we had. And there was always somebody trying to get whatever they could by doing things behind your back and I know that feeling. For me, I don’t let that fly. If I can do something about it, I am no hero. But, if I can do something about it, and teach somebody a lesson, and maybe getting something for myself being that he’s the United States Champion, then be it. Sheamus isn’t gonna get away with that, not around me.”
