Damian Priest declares for WWE Royal Rumble

Damian Priest is heading to the Royal Rumble.

During Monday’s Raw, Priest was added to WWE’s graphic for the men’s Royal Rumble match that takes place this Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. This makes him the seventh addition to the men’s roster.

The women’s Royal Rumble match graphic included the same four participants that have declared for Saturday’s match: Bayley, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and Bianca Belair.

On Raw, Damian Priest took on Drew McIntyre in the main event. He had the match won until R-Truth interfered, attempting to hand Priest his cut of Truth’s Judgment Day merchandise sales. The distraction led to McIntyre scoring the win with the claymore kick. Next week’s show will have Priest & Finn Balor defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles against DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa).

The current lineup for Saturday’s Royal Rumble:

  • Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defends against LA Knight, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton
  • United States Champion Logan Paul defends against Kevin Owens
