Damian Priest makes a trip to Yankee Stadium.
Two days after successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, the newly-minted WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest returned to his hometown of The Bronx to hang out with the stars of the New York Yankees. Priest’s visit to Yankee Stadium came ahead of the April 9 ballgame between the Yankees and the Maimi Marlins.
“I’m a big fan of yours,” Priest told the current Yankees captain, Aaron Judge (via a WWE Instagram reel). “I was just talking about you, the way you carry yourself, and the way you represent this team, is beautiful.”
In response, Judge told Priest that he felt blessed to be in a position to not only present New York City, but also don the prestigious pinstripes of the New York Yankees. Judge also gifted Priest a baseball bat.
While conversing, Priest later mentioned that his “All Rise” catchphrase was inspired by Judge’s MLB slogan.
Priest was also seen mingling with the likes of outfielder Juan Soto, catcher Jose Trevino, and YES Network analyst (and former Yankees right-fielder) Nick Swisher.
Following his trip to the baseball field, Damian Priest will now pivot his attention to “Main Event” Jey Uso, who is set to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship in the near future.
