Damian Priest has been missing on Monday Night Raw over a month now. He last wrestled against John Morrison in Lumberjack on WrestleMania Backlash fallout episode of Raw and wasn’t seen on WWE TV since then.
We got a backstage update about former NXT Champion. Recently, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Damian Priest had a bad back since before WrestleMania, which made his involvement at WrestleMania doubtful.
Now, Fightful Select reported that Damian Priest wasn’t kept off due to injury concerns. It was also noted that he would be back to WWE TV next week if creative teams have plans for him. This report also states that he wasn’t carrying any injuries and he was missing Raw due to lack of creative direction.
