Damian Priest may have finally put his feud with Finn Balor to bed after defeating him in a Street Fight in the main event of this week’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.
This longstanding feud had to come to blows in a violent encounter, which kicked off when Balor jumped Priest from behind with a kendo stick to get the advantage.

At one point in the bout, though, Priest took out Balor with a Falcon Arrow on the outside, which saw Balor stretchered out on an ambulance gurney.

However, Priest wasn’t having this as the end of their rivalry, so he fought off everyone, continued to wail on Balor, unstrapped him from the stretcher and pushed him back to the ring for some more punishment.

Balor would go on to fight back, nearly taking Priest out of commission with a Coup de Grace through a table ringside.

But even with some help from Carlito and JD McDonagh, Balor couldn’t get the job done, in part due to War Raiders Erik and Ivar making the save and aiding Priest in balancing the numbers game.
Ultimately, with a South of Heaven chokeslam, shouting out “I am not my brother’s keeper,” Priest was able to get the win over Balor.
