Damian Priest was a “Lone Wolf” at WWE Bad Blood, but he persevered like his hero Scott Hall against Finn Balor.
The deck was stacked against Priest as he took it to his nemesis in a singles fight that was third on the card at Bad Blood, as Carlito and JD McDonagh interfered but Damian channeled ‘The Bad Guy’ both visually and physically in the ring to pick up the win.
Priest sauntered out in Atlanta decked out in homage to ‘The Outsider’ as Priest’s jacket had the signature blood drips that Hall wore in his NWO days alongside Kevin Nash. Priest also had blood dripping down his pants as well as his boots, but he also was sure to honor Hall with in-ring arsenal. Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Balor not just on the canvas, but on the apron in an effort to defeat his former friend.
Priest ultimately fended off the likes of McDonagh, Carlito and Finn’s Coup de Grace to hit a South of Heaven and get the 1-2-3, perhaps ending the two’s feud which would allow Priest to move on to a fresh set of opponents.
Both Priest and CM Punk paid their respective tribute to notorioius Kliq members at WWE Bad Blood. Punk actually had Shawn Michaels-themed trunks complete with HBK’s Bad Blood color scheme and signature “broken heart” logo. The WWE stars who wear Kliq-themed attire ended up undefeated in Atlanta as Punk also defeated Drew McIntyre in his Hell in A Cell match earlier in the evening.
