Damian Priest Teases New Tag Team Before WWE Elimination Chamber

TORONTO, Canada — WWE Superstar Damian Priest announced he is forming a new team with longtime friend and fellow wrestler R-Truth just days before the Elimination Chamber event. The surprise revelation comes as both prepare for their respective matches on March 1.

Priest and R-Truth’s camaraderie dates back to their time together in the Judgment Day stable, and their friendly relationship has continued despite previous tensions within that group. R-Truth, a veteran in WWE, reached out to Priest with excitement about their upcoming meeting in Toronto.

“Oh snap my dawg!!! You gone be there too?? Now that’s what’s up!🙌🏾 …We should form a team 🤔,” R-Truth messaged Priest, to which the latter humorously replied, “Sure. See you in California,” referencing R-Truth’s history of mixing up locations.

The collaboration is not without its implications. Ahead of the Elimination Chamber, where Priest will compete alongside five other challengers for a chance to face Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, the idea of a new tag team adds an unexpected layer to his storyline.

Priest enters this high-stakes match as a viable dark horse contender, building off his recent experiences and momentum from a prior championship run. At Elimination Chamber, he will face formidable opponents including John Cena, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre, all vying for a shot at Rhodes’ title.

Priest, known for his striking style and athleticism, is expected to bring a unique flavor should he successfully team with R-Truth in the ring. Although it remains to be seen how sustained this partnership will last, fans are keen to see how their chemistry translates into in-ring action.

As the Elimination Chamber event approaches, Priest’s focus remains on securing victory to reestablish himself as a top contender in the WWE landscape. His upcoming match could pave the way for an intriguing narrative at WrestleMania, potentially setting the stage for a shocking championship bout.

WWE’s Elimination Chamber is set for March 1 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, with the stakes higher than ever for all participants involved.
