Former WWE star Tommy Dreamer agrees with the company’s decision to make Damian Priest a heel because it would grant the former US Champion a little bit of an edge. Priest defended his US Championship against Finn Balor on this last week’s WWE RAW show and lost the title. He had held the title since August 2021.
“Damian Priest needs the heel turn and there is a lot of truth to what he said.” he said.

“Did you feel the Damian Priest babyface experience was working? (to LaGreca) How is the jury still out if you’re already the champion? And he’s been the champion for a while. Go back and watch the Royal Rumble and listen to people’s reactions. Don’t know, again, how many Damian Priest shirts were selling as a babyface. Give him this bit of edge – I think he’ll be a much better draw for WWE as a heel and I hope he gets the opportunity. And Finn Balor is a great first step for this new heel. And always blaming the fans is what a heel is supposed to do and it’s kind of what a heel has to do, especially, in WWE because you can’t go all heel-ish,” said Dreamer.
Both of these guys want to walk into #WrestleMania as the #USChampion and are willing to do whatever it takes! #WWERaw@ArcherOfInfamy @FinnBalor pic.twitter.com/TdS7UYTKmR
