Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest started working together when they were members of the Judgement Day faction. Both of them became main event stars while working as members of the faction, and the duo was fascinating together. The fans love the partnership of this duo.
Even after they were taken off the faction, they kept on working for a while before starting to work as a singles wrestler once again. Both of them still maintain main event status, but they were definitely doing quite well when they were working as a team. Ripley looks like a more threatening figure in the women's division than Priest, however.
Wrestling legend discussed how good Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were together
A lot of fans expected the duo to work together even after they stopped working as members of the Judgement Day. Professional wrestling legend Vince Russo, who had been the lead writer for both WWE and WCW during the 90s, recently talked about this partnership while speaking on an edition of “Legion Of RAW.” Here is what he had to say;
Priest and Ripley were members of the Judgment Day faction
“When they broke out Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley from Judgment Day, they had something. And let me tell you why they had something, because there was never a guy-girl combo like that. They really look like legit superheroes. If they would have kept that team together and that relationship together, that was different.
Both of them are former World Champions
"Since those two split, they’ve done nothing with Rhea Ripley, and they’ve done nothing with Damian Priest. So why wouldn’t you have kept something together that was different and was special? You break that up, and now the two of them have been in no man’s land for the last six months.” said Vince Russo, who had been the lead writer for both WWE and WCW during the 90s.
Damian Priest has not been really presented as a real threat World Heavyweight Championship after dropping at last year's SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley, on the other hand, dropped to the title in March. She did not get to win the title yet, but he is still a big threat. So, it can definitely be said that Rhea Ripley is a bigger star than Damian Priest right now. But possibilities are there that WWE would push Priest as a main event star once again.
