The Archer of Infamy took aim at one of the biggest names NXT has to offer — and hit his mark.
After Damian Priest attacked Pete Dunne earlier this month and asserted his desire for acclaim at The BruiserWeight’s expense, the issue came to a head with a spirited battle this week.
Priest’s bid for infamy was nearly thwarted, with Dunne wearing him out through his trademark joint manipulation. The education in British Strong Style continued largely uninterrupted until Priest defied gravity with a springboard somersault senton to the outside.
Priest continued to pour it on with a cyclone kick, Frankensteiner and “South of Heaven” chokeslam, but it wasn’t enough to keep Dunne down.
The matchup seemed to push both beyond their limits, leading to an exchange of devastating strikes and counters of Priest’s Reckoning and Dunne’s Bitter End.
With both competitors on wobbly legs after an epic fight, Priest’s underhanded tactics proved decisive. As Dunne prepared to snap his digits, Priest finessed the two into a tie-up with officialJessika Carr in the corner. That split-second opening was enough for Priest to deliver a savage kick below the belt, creating an opportunity for Priest to hit the Reckoning.
Controversial or not, Priest took another step toward making sure his name lives forever with a victory over Dunne in the record books.
