Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest has been on a tear on Friday Night SmackDown. He has been trying to get back in the world title picture after concluding his heated feud with Aleister Black.
Priest’s rumored girlfriend, Lola Vice, has also been making waves in NXT and AAA. Recently, Vice captured the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Title, beating Ethan Page and Chelsea Green’s last-minute replacement, La Hiedra, alongside Mr. Iguana.
Thanks for the submission!
The Hot Mess recently took to her X account to express frustration about AAA forcing Page to defend the gold in her absence, leading to their loss. Responding to The Green Regime’s leader, Vice revealed that she competed in the mixed tag team bout with a “broken hand”. Given the NXT star’s statement, she is seemingly hurt.
“I have a broken hand and still showed up,” she wrote.
Priest and Vice are rumored to be dating in real life. They often post pictures with each other on social media and express their admiration.
Damian Priest competed in a WWE match with an injury
The former Judgment Day member kicked off his year with a massive win over Aleister Black. He defeated Black in an Ambulance Match on SmackDown, ending their lengthy rivalry.
Priest later punched his ticket to the number one contenders Fatal Four-Way Match at the Saturday Night Main Event XLIII. However, he failed to capture a championship shot at the Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at Royal Rumble. Sami Zayn pinned The Punishment to secure a title shot in Riyadh.
During the four-way bout, the commentary team revealed that Priest was competing despite dealing with an injury. That said, it will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and the WWE creative team have in store for Priest and Vice in the coming weeks.
