Damian Priest is working hard to keep the Undisputed WWE Tag Titles important, something he feels was not the case for some time.
On a recent episode of the “Inside the Ropes” podcast, Priest spoke about the tag team titles and when he feels they started being relevant again. He said,
“I think it goes without saying that unfortunately, there was a time where the tag team titles fell off a little bit and they weren’t as important as they should be. Then, obviously, the focus came back. WrestleMania [39 night one] main event, tag team titles – that’s a wild one. No one could have predicted that the [WWE] Tag Team Championships would be the main event of one of the nights in WrestleMania.
“So that tells you everything you need to know as far as where they are now as far as importance … [Finn Balor and I] are carrying that tradition of making sure that the titles stay important, and we take pride in that. We don’t want the titles to fall off again. I don’t think anybody does.
“You can tell by how many people want the tag team championships. It’s not just tag teams, it’s individual big stars that want to team up with somebody to take the titles from us. I think that’s awesome.”
Priest is in his second reign as an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion and his most recent reign with Finn Balor began on the October 16, 2023 edition of RAW.
Balor and Priest will put the titles on the line against British Strong Style (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate) at WWE’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event in Perth, Australia.
