Damian Priest revealed that what was going through the mind of becoming the new NXT North American Champion when he leapt into a hot tub in his ring gear during NXT TakeOver: XXX.##
Damian Priest kicked off saying, "I was basically at first even when I first debuted as a mean Priest. I was still pretending to be what others thought I am, you know, like somebody else's view of me. So I was just doing that so I didn't realize I was still pretending.##
"I was just pretending to be me with your damn expensive and even when I would speak, you know, like now I'm obviously not a little different but at first when I would speak I felt like I had to that red light goes on promo. Voice right now. So then it's you know, I had to take my voice as deep as possible.##
"And then I remember one day it finally clicked like you're like other things I've heard in the past where Hannah came up to me one day and I did a kind of promo everybody thought it was really good because aggressive serious Hunter watched it goes that was good. He goes. Can you do another one and then he pulled me to the side he goes if you would a bar and you're going to fight someone would you make a scene? Would you start screaming everybody? Look at you? or People somebody close and tell him let's go outside. I'm going to kick your ass and I said, I've literally done that.##
"Yeah, it goes. So, where's that guy and then I don't know why but that day. I was like, I got it. Yeah, that would be fighting and he texts me while I was in the locker room, which always scares the crap out of me every time I get a message from like what am I Superior? Because I've been up is happening.##
"I look at my phone and he goes like that's what I wanted just you and I was like, okay cool and now and especially after my master Finn Balor like that's when I really like got in the zone and just let loose and then I haven't looked back and so far so good. Everybody seems to be happy with what I'm doing. Clearly. It's working since I'm an American champion, but and I'm having a lot more fun.##
I Got really holder smiling the Swagger and all that stuff. That's all real. I'm not pretending. I'm not trying to turn it up just because the red light is on now like I'm really enjoying everything about it. Like everybody is asking you about that hot tub seen I take the bro. I jumped in with my dear like not good.##
"There was a right before there was a part of me. That was like a pan. I should probably just put some shorts on something just because I just got this gear rate and it's pretty sweet Jerry's feet, but like what I just told you before about what I was trying to do when I first started was Encompass everything about my life that I love and use it love the rock star lifestyle.##
"You know, really I really do and then you know like a start they were just at a party is jumping with their clothes right while playing. That was me. That's why I was like, this is my rock star moment that senses no regret and it sighs I can get out of the hot tub. So halfway through the main event."##
