Former WWE Champion, Kevin Nash has offered substantial praise to current World Champion, Damian Priest.

Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Nash commented on the segment with Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre from the May 27 episode of RAW, and this is what Nash had to say:

“I just think that Damian [Priest] has really fucking risen to the occasion. When he went toe to toe [with Drew McIntyre], Drew’s a big fucker, [but] Damian’s star power gave him the appearance of being bigger than he actually is. He just looked like a star, he looked so comfortable. He looked like he should have that belt…”

Nash continued by saying:

“How much of that is the fact of Rhea [Ripley] is so good. She’s a once-in-a-generation talent, so when you’re packaged with her, and she’s doing a lot of the mic work, how much of that is, now he’s carrying the torch along with the strap. You don’t have to hit a curveball, you don’t have to hit 100 miles an hour. It’s whatever is fucking written on a piece of paper happens, and if you just so happen to fucking click with what they’re doing, the sky’s the limit. Priest is, to me, as big a star as they’ve got right now…”

Priest is set to defend the World Title against Drew McIntyre next Saturday at Clash at the Castle.
