On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash lavished praise on Rhea Ripley and commended WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest’s recent performances.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Damian Priest: “I just think that Damian has really f**king risen to the occasion. Like, he just looked like a star, he looks so comfortable, he looked like he should have that belt.”
On how Scott Hall believed that Priest would become a star: “I thought he was going to be a star. Scott and I both, but Scott was the one, you know, that really was dead on with him, as was Kid [X-Pac].”
On how working with Rhea Ripley helped Priest: “She’s a once-in-a-generation talent, so when you’re packaged with her and you’re going out and she’s doing a lot of the mic work, you know. Like, how much of that is now he’s carrying the torch along with the strap?”
Priest will defend his title against former champion Drew McIntyre at WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland.
