Damian Priest is at the peak of his career right now. He holds the World Heavyweight Championship and recently successfully defended it against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. After the match, Damian Priest left for the post-show conference, where he did something unusual. He told each reporter to stand up to give him respect.
Priest instructed everyone to “rise up” in the press conference and even stated that he would not answer any questions until everyone stood on their feet to honor him. After a while, several of the reporters stood up, but he directed three reporters in the front row to do the same.
Fans reacted to Damian Priest’s act, as everyone began comparing him to Roman Reigns. As you may recall, Reigns did something similar during one of his championship runs. Fans think this was the second time a wrestler tried to be like Roman Reigns in the press conference. Who was the first wrestler to try that?
