He successfully defended his United States Championship title two nights in a row at the Extreme Rules PPV on Sunday and WWE Raw on Monday.

WWE Raw: Wade Barrett was all praises for Damian Priest’s Herculian effort
Not only the WWE Universe but former WWE Superstars and legends, including Wade Barrett was impressed with the effort Damian Priest put in two nights in a row to defend his US Title successfully.
After Priest’s win at last night’s WWE Raw, Wade Barrett, who is a commentator at NXT 2.0, took to Twitter and said that Priest is the real deal in the company, and now he has found a whole new level. Here’s what Barrett wrote,
“I knew the second I saw him in #WWENXT that
@ArcherOfInfamy was the real deal, but he’s found a whole new level of late. IF they can survive, 2 months of scrapping with @Sheamus makes anyone better. And sore.”
