World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest wants to prove himself as a champion that everyone can be proud of.

Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Damian Priest shared his thoughts on his successful WrestleMania 40, where he won his first world title.

“By no means is this ride over. I still have a lot to prove, a lot to show the world,” Damian Priest said. “I need people to understand that I want everyone to be proud of me being the champion. I want the company to be proud, I want my fans, my family, my friends, everyone. I want everybody to be proud to say, ‘That guy deserves to champion, that’s a good representative.’ So I’m not going anywhere. This is gonna be a good ride.”
