Damian Priest says he still stands by his comments about always seeing the same wrestlers in WWE’s main events, but that it is up to him to change it.
Priest said earlier this year that he was tired of seeing the same wrestlers at the top. When Triple H was asked about it months later, he said it is up to other wrestlers to “work harder” and “figure it out.”
On Complex Graps, Priest was asked if he still feels the same way. He pointed to his recent heel turn on R-Truth as part of that change.
“Well I still stand by what I said, but the change wasn’t them. I realized it was me. And so I needed to make a change so I can make an impact on what I’m complaining about. That’s on me. So yeah, that comment, I still stand by that. I’m sick and tired of seeing the same people, but that’s on me to make it different, to do something about it. That’s on everybody who’s not in that picture to do it,” Priest said.
“I think those people are still gonna always be a revolving door around the top spot, and the titles, and the main events, because that’s the talent that they are. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t space for anybody else, and that’s where I come in. I’ve been there before, and it’s been too long since I’ve been there, so I’m coming back for what’s mine again.”
