Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest Clash in Steel Cage at WWE Event

Tampa, Florida — Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest are set to renew their intense rivalry in a steel cage match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24, 2025. This much-anticipated clash follows a series of dramatic encounters that have built tensions between the two superstars.

The rivalry originated at WrestleMania 40 when McIntyre captured the World Heavyweight Championship, only for Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract just minutes later. Their conflict simmered until Priest’s consecutive eliminations of McIntyre from both the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber events in 2025 reignited the feud.

Though McIntyre seemed to emerge victorious during their matchup at WrestleMania 41, Priest escalated the conflict by attacking McIntyre on multiple occasions, including sending him through a table during a recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

In the aftermath, their animosity reached a boiling point when Priest interfered in McIntyre’s match against LA Knight at Backlash 2025, pulling the referee away just as McIntyre was on the verge of victory.

Now, with both men looking to prove their dominance, McIntyre has accepted Priest’s challenge for a steel cage match, vowing that only one will leave the cage walking while the other will require a stretcher.

McIntyre acknowledged that he is nursing injuries going into the match but remains determined. “Working hurt is just what happens if you’re an athlete, especially as the years go by,” McIntyre said. “I’m ready to end this.”

Fans can expect a physically demanding battle as both wrestlers aim to settle their score once and for all. McIntyre is favored to win, but in wrestling, surprises are always possible.
