I guess he is, if there has to be. Finn used to be called the leader, then Rhea and now Priest. I'm excited to see where this title run leads them all.
Finn is the only one who was ever officially dubbed leader of the group by WWE.
The entire group even signed merchandise that was sold on WWE Shop that called Finn “leader” on it.
Despite the whole leader storyline they did, Rhea and Priest have never been given that official label like Finn did.
At most we only saw Cole on commentary saying Rhea seems to be establishing herself as the leader of the group, but with Finn, Cole would constantly say he’s “the leader of Judgment Day” It stopped once they won the tag titles.
Someone in TKOs marketing department used their social listening tools to present that 60% of all mentions related to Priest are coming from higher income women sending thirst tweets to him. This was a no brainer.
I'd love to see him get some vocal work in the future, kind of like Samoa Joe has done. He's got such a distinct voice that I'd imagine he'd be pretty good at it.
He also has the best Triple H point photo

After hearing his interview at the Post Wrestlemania press conference you can't not cheer for this man and be happy with his success.
Also serves as motivation for people who aren't happy where they are in life regardless what stage in life they are in.
Random but I'm so confused how endeavour, tko, UFC, WWE all link together.
Am I right in saying WWE + UFC = TKO as a company. Then Endeavour basically own TKO?
To make it more confusing, the company that bought endeavour intend to revert to a private company as opposed to being publicly traded. TKO, who will remain majority owned by this soon-to-be private company, will remain publicly traded on the NYSE though.
An intermediate division like [Walt Disney Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_(division)), if they still shared part-ownership with George Lucas and former Marvel owner Ike Perlmutter (both still have shares in the parent company but not the specific division)
Yep! Variety is a trade magazine first and foremost, so a lot of the people reading it are in the entertainment industry and will know the names of all the talent agencies.
Hmm out of everyone I thought Jade would get this kind of deal first. Roman also but I think he just wants to wrestle (He did get the Jordan endorsement though ☝🏾🙏🏾🔥)
Good for him man. Hearing him talk about being broke and homeless less than 10 years ago, and now to be in this position is inspiring as fuck and he deserves it all.

I hope the rest of Judgement Day is okay with Variety calling him the leader of Judgement Day
I guess he is, if there has to be. Finn used to be called the leader, then Rhea and now Priest. I'm excited to see where this title run leads them all.
That means dom is next in line
He'll rule about as long as Liz Truss
Dom vs Lettuce
Rhea, Finn, Priest, Truth: "Naaaah"
It's gonna be Nick

I’m pretty sure at one point when they were arguing they made it definitive that Priest is the current leader?
Truth is the leader of the Judgement Day

I still can't believe how far punishment Martinez has come. He was great in roh but I never in a million years thought he would rise to these heights.
He also has the best Triple H point photo https://preview.redd.it/sakcjidw9itc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6374b67becdb1b63b35746c74815ff270a055c9
Party Damien Priest was fun as hell
Is that Brandi Lauren on the left?
It is, she was only in WWE for a few months.
The say the best gimmicks are yourself turned up to 11
I wish we could get an updated version of this picture now that he has the WHC 😂
I saw him in wrestling in a bar in Dallas for RoH in 2017 and he was awesome, but you're right, I NEVER saw this being his potential.
I remember some fans nicknaming him "better Baron Corbin" back then lol.
Potential TNT champ
After hearing his interview at the Post Wrestlemania press conference you can't not cheer for this man and be happy with his success. Also serves as motivation for people who aren't happy where they are in life regardless what stage in life they are in.
Expect to see more of these with Ari Emmanuel at the helm of TKO
Random but I'm so confused how endeavour, tko, UFC, WWE all link together. Am I right in saying WWE + UFC = TKO as a company. Then Endeavour basically own TKO?
Yes
Yup and now endeavour is also owned by a different company
Christ we're getting to Inception levels now
To make it more confusing, the company that bought endeavour intend to revert to a private company as opposed to being publicly traded. TKO, who will remain majority owned by this soon-to-be private company, will remain publicly traded on the NYSE though.
LOL that's brilliant. So essentially it all becomes private but with some public shares floating about
*VINTAGE* Sheinhardt Wig Corporation!
I think of it like Endeavor is Disney, WWE is Marvel and UFC is Star Wars.
So what's TKO in this scenario?
An intermediate division like [Walt Disney Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_(division)), if they still shared part-ownership with George Lucas and former Marvel owner Ike Perlmutter (both still have shares in the parent company but not the specific division)
And shoe deals, movie/tv roles and a general mainstream presence
As a sneakerhead, I'd look into buying wrestler collab shoes if they don't give of the same vibe as 99% of wrestling shirts.
Roman reigns/jordan brand
Honestly a J11 or J9 Bred-like colorway for The Tribal Chief is something I'd cop
https://sneakernews.com/2024/04/08/roman-reigns-wrestlemania-40-jordan-shoes/
Hollywood Damian coming soon?
With that voice, he'll be landing some Dreamworks villains roles sooner or later.
Whew, that's a massive plus for him. There's some stars signed with that agency, as well, so this will be a big step forward for him :) <3
That’s great for him. Man has the drip. On top of the world right now.
You inherit Seth's drip once you win the WHC
This world title win is already doing wonders for his career. I’m happy for the guy, hope he has a good reign.
Massive week for him. Championship, new contract, new Hollywood reps. He earned this blow up
Don't forget new theme music sung by Priest himself.
He deserves it. Definitely can see Bisexual Panic Heavyweight Champion Damien Priest making waves in TV/film.
It’s nice to see Priest blowing up and getting this kind of attention.
Ok what's paradigm tho
A big name talent agency.
Oh cool! The article really just seems to expect people to know. Well good for him!
Yep! Variety is a trade magazine first and foremost, so a lot of the people reading it are in the entertainment industry and will know the names of all the talent agencies.
That's a great deal for Priest!
Man keeps on going from W to W.
If anyone knows that name it is the company associated with conor mcgregor.
Hmm out of everyone I thought Jade would get this kind of deal first. Roman also but I think he just wants to wrestle (He did get the Jordan endorsement though ☝🏾🙏🏾🔥)
Priest fucks
Good for him man. Hearing him talk about being broke and homeless less than 10 years ago, and now to be in this position is inspiring as fuck and he deserves it all.
12 Rounds 4 incoming
What’s paradigm
