Damian Priest On Triple H Taking Over WWE Creative: ‘He’s A Wizard’

Move over Chris Jericho, Damian Priest says Triple H is a wizard at professional wrestling.

Triple H worked very closely with Damian Priest during his initial rise on the NXT roster. Priest is now on the Monday Night Raw roster and Triple H has recently taken over as the head of creative following the retirement of Vince McMahon.

Speaking with Jon Alba of Ad-Free Shows during a media scrum ahead of SummerSlam 2022, Priest explained that he’s never worked with anyone that has the level of knowledge Triple H does about the wrestling industry whether it is in front of or behind the camera.

“He’s a wizard when it comes to this business. I’ve never met somebody who’s so good at this business, you know what I mean? I guess he’s because he was one of the boys, and now he’s on the other side, but he has a different view. He’s 100% a great businessman. So he has both sides and it’s a win-win, you know, so I look forward to what new adventures are, because working with him in NXT. I learned so much and we were able to create something special that translated onto the main roster. So now with him here, again, it’ll be interesting to see. For me, I’m excited. Well, this is we could do this again, and reinvent something maybe, yeah, it’s when I say I don’t know what we’re gonna what’s gonna happen you know, as far as my career goes, but it’s exciting to know that the possibilities, so I’m looking forward to it,” said Priest.

Triple H recently stated that he is going to work as hard as he can with his whole team in order to ensure that the WWE Universe gets everything they want out of the product under his watch. Learn more here.
