Damian Priest featured in a hype video for their upcoming appearance in the MLB World Series.
The Yankees are in the World Series for the first time since 2009. This has become a huge year for the New York franchise. This was the last time they won the tournament, so it is a big season for the historic baseball side.
To celebrate their World Series match-up with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Yankees social media sites posted a video hyping up the fixture. WWE’s Damian Priest was given a starring role in the clip, promoting the games.
The clip, which was posted onto Twitter, opens with Damian Priest in a darkened room. He narrated over clips of the Yankees’ season, including clips of home runs with fans and players celebrating uncontrollably.
The former World Heavyweight Champion is a New York native. He was brought up in the City, which included living in The Bronx. This is where Yankee Stadium is located, so he has a close connection with the team.
The World Series kicks off later today. In Game 1, the LA Dodgers host the NY Yankees for the New York side’s first taste of the World Series in a decade and a half. They will be the underdogs, as the Dodgers play in their fourth competition in eight years when the game kicks off.
Because he is on Raw, there’s a good chance Damian Priest will be free to travel to see the Yankees in action in LA this week.
