#135 - WWE's Damian Priest on Which Metal Icon Should Join Judgment Day

WWE superstar and current World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest steps into the Squared Circle Pit for a very fun discussion. We discuss his epic WrestleMania moment where he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and achieved his lifelong dream of being world champion. We discussed the moments before and after the win, and also talked about how it felt to go backstage and thank Paul "Triple H" Levesque. Damien then discussed his incredibly memorable match with Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico and his internal feelings during that match. We compare the audience reactions in PR with the recent crowd in Lyon, France.


Damian also talks a little bit of metal, booking his fantasy festival, and letting us know which heavy metal icon he would bring into Judgment Day.
