Damian Priest captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40, and he recently appeared on “The Takedown” podcast to discuss how “insane” of a day it was leading into the show, trying to keep his attention focused on the match, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the day leading up to the show: “That whole day at WrestleMania 40, it was insane. So many things had already changed. The closer we got to it, many people who are very, very smart came up to me and said, ‘Things can change.’ So you never know. I knew things could change, even up to the last minute.”
On keeping his attention focused on the match: “I was sitting in Gorilla for the whole match, laser-focused on the match. I had to, otherwise I’d have gone crazy. Then, when the bell rang, that’s when it became real. Like I said, it was insane.”
