Update On Damian Priest’s WWE Status And Return

 

Damian Priest may be back as early as next week’s RAW.

In an update, Fightful Select reports that the rumors of a back injury were denied, and Priest may be available as soon as next week, based on creative plans for him.

Priest was reportedly unavailable for the past few weeks due to other reasons that were not disclosed. It was also said that he has been healing up, but a back injury was denied.

WWE officials were hopeful at one point that Priest would be involved in the qualifying matches for Money In the Bank. Last night’s RAW saw Morrison, Ricochet, and Riddle qualify for the first three RAW spots in the Men’s Ladder Match. Next week’s RAW will feature a Second Chance Triple Threat Qualifier for the final RAW spot, with Randy Orton vs. RAW Tag Team Champion AJ Styles vs. Drew McIntyre. There should be four SmackDown qualifiers to fill the final 4 spots of the eight-man match.

Stay tuned for more on Priest’s WWE status.
