“He’ll Pay in Blood!” — Damian Priest’s Chilling Warning After Brutal SmackDown Ambush
Damian Priest didn’t stroll out of Friday feeling victorious—he stormed out furious.
Friday’s WWE SmackDown main event saw Cody Rhodes and Aleister Black headline the live show… and things quickly spiraled into chaos. Midway through the match, Drew McIntyre blindsided the referee with a Claymore, leaving the official down and allowing a heel onslaught to begin. With Rhodes badly outnumbered, the bad guys swarmed, and Priest—rushing to help the Undisputed WWE Champion—paid the price.
Earlier in the night Black had already made his intentions clear: he’d hit Priest with a fireball that left the Archer of Infamy visibly shaken and nursing an injured left eye. The injury proved costly. When the referee was incapacitated, Zelina Vega and Black pounced—Vega restraining Priest while Black attacked his injured eye again.
Backstage shots after the show were ugly: Priest receiving medical attention, splashing water into his eye, screaming in pain and fury. Then came the warning nobody wants to ignore — Priest leaned in and spat a single-line promise that sent a chill through the arena:
“I am going to rip his heart out.”
Whether that was bravado or a roadmap for payback, one thing’s clear: Damian Priest is out for vengeance. And he won’t be idle—he’s already booked to face Rusev in the “Last Time Is Now” tournament on the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW. Expect sparks (and maybe a little blood) when Priest channels that fury into the ring.
Stay tuned—this feud is just heating up.
