During the recent Clash At The Castle main event, Damian Priest suffered a brutal injury that left him in excruciating pain. The World Heavyweight Champion, who had just controversially defeated hometown hero Drew McIntyre, found himself tangled in the ropes after attempting to dive out of the ring. As the camera focused on McIntyre, fans started to worry about Priest's safety as the referee struggled to free him.
In a post-show press conference, WWE boss Triple H (real name Paul Levesque) expressed his relief that Priest was able to finish the match, but also acknowledged the possibility of a serious injury. He explained, "When I saw that happen to Damian, my heart jumped out of my chest. I didn't see any way that he wasn't injured. When I got word that he was fine, I couldn't believe it. Adrenaline is a helluva drug."
Priest himself also spoke to the press about his injury, admitting that his leg "feels like trash." However, he was still able to brag about his victory over McIntyre, who was expected to win the championship in front of his family and friends. "I didn't even go to medical yet so I could do this and answer your questions," Priest joked, "so you're welcome. Docs will check it out but I mean, I ain't going anywhere."
The controversial match also saw CM Punk interfere and replace the referee, ultimately costing McIntyre the win. This sparked outrage from both fans and wrestlers, with McIntyre himself visibly angry and threatening anyone in his way. Former wrestler turned commentator Wade Barrett even called for Punk to be fired over his actions, declaring it "f****** bulls***."
Meanwhile, the Clash At The Castle event also saw local favorites Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre win the Women's Tag Team Titles, just weeks after Fyre's mother passed away in a car accident. Fellow Scottish wrestler Piper Niven put on a remarkable performance but ultimately fell short against Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship. And in other matches, Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes successfully defended their titles against Chad Gable and AJ Styles, respectively.
For those who missed the event, it is available to stream on demand via the WWE Network. And for fans of the WWE video game series, WWE 2K24 is now available.
