Damian Priest Pins John Morrison In Tag Match, Sets Sights On US Title

Damian Priest took down John Morrison in a singles match at tonight’s episode of WWE RAW. He then teamed up Ricochet to take down Morrison and WWE United States Champion Sheamus, who came out looking for a fight. 

During a special segment of MizTV prior to the matches, Priest made it clear that he has eyes set on the WWE United States Championship. Priest noted that while Sheamus was a “badass” for fighting through his injuries, it’s his job to put bullies in their place. He noted that while he officially wanted to challenge Sheamus, John Morrison made him so mad with his ridiculous antics that he’d rather fight him right then and there. 

After he took down Morrison in a singles match, Priest was attacked by Sheamus, who tried to get the upper hand on him in an ambush attempt. But Ricochet came running down to the ring and saved Priest, clearing out the ring and setting up a tag team match between the two teams. 

Though Sheamus and Morrison controlled the match early on, Ricochet and Priest firmly gained the advantage and never looked back. Ricochet hit a breathtaking moonsault to the outside on Sheamus, leaving Morrison alone with Priest. “The Archer of Infamy’ then hit the Reckoning on Morrison for the win.
