Damian Priest is one of the top WWE Superstars on Monday Night Raw, and 2024 has been a huge year for the former World Heavyweight Champion. Now, the Archer of Infamy has made a splash outside the squared circle by teaming up with the New York Yankees.
The New York Yankees released a hype video ahead of their World Series showdown against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Priest, who is a longtime fan of the team and has been an active supporter throughout the season, narrates the video.
Priest has been more open to projects outside WWE this year and signed with the Paradigm Talent Agency in April, mere days after his World Heavyweight Title win at WrestleMania 40. Other WWE names who have signed with the agency include Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre, and Tiffany Stratton.
In September, Priest claimed he’d landed a major role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was rumored to be that of the film’s antagonist Namor. Priest would explain that the role “got taken away from me, but not from Marvel” implying that WWE higher-ups had blocked this huge opportunity. Priest added that “the regime was a little bit different at the time” as the film was in the works during Vince McMahon’s era.
The role with the New York Yankees is a huge showcase for Priest who continues to be a force to be reckoned with on TV. Stay tuned for the latest from Damian Priest both in and out of the ring.
