Drew McIntyre recently offered uncharacteristic praise for Damian Priest, labeling their ongoing rivalry as the “most logical story.” Speaking on “Gorilla Position,” McIntyre acknowledged Priest’s strong performance, even when their paths have intersected.
McIntyre highlighted Priest’s dedication, stating, “He’s worked hard. He’s paid his dues. He deserves an opportunity at the top.” He added that Priest had “knocked it out of the park” during their interactions.
However, McIntyre affirmed that Priest’s rise should not come by defeating him. “But it’s not going to be at my expense,” McIntyre concluded, further stating, “I’ve got nothing else to do now except keep beating his a*se.”
