The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown delivered a thrilling night of action as WWE gears up for its first-ever two-night SummerSlam event. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest, found himself in a match against Carmelo Hayes after his initial target, Aleister Black, proved to be elusive.
Priest and Black had been at odds for several weeks, with tensions escalating leading to a brutal attack by Black on Priest with his signature move, the Black Mass. This week, Black once again interrupted a match involving Priest and Carmelo, delivering another devastating Black Mass to Priest for the second consecutive week.
However, not everyone was pleased with this storyline development. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of explanation for the animosity between Priest and Black. Russo criticized the lack of a clear storyline or reason for their rivalry, calling it ‘insulting’ to the audience’s intelligence.
As tensions continue to rise between Priest and Black, it seems inevitable that these two former champions will clash in the ring. With SummerSlam on the horizon, there is a possibility that Triple H could book a match between these two fierce competitors at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
In conclusion, the ongoing feud between Damian Priest and Aleister Black has captured the attention of fans, but the lack of a clear storyline has left some viewers puzzled. As the rivalry intensifies, all eyes will be on WWE to see how this conflict unfolds leading up to a potential showdown at SummerSlam.
