Damian Priest reiterates concerns over WWE's main event scene

"

Earlier this year, Damian Priest said he’s sick and tired of always seeing the same wrestlers in WWE’s main event scene. When the media asked Triple H about those remarks a few months later, the man in charge said it’s up to the other wrestlers to “work harder” and “figure it out” if they want to be in those same spots. During an interview this week on Complex Graps, Priest was asked if he stands by his criticism of WWE’s stale main event scene. El Malo said he still feels the same way, but added a new layer (to placate Triple H?) by putting the onus on himself to do something about it. His recent heel turn on R-Truth was the start of that process. “Well I still stand by what I said, but the change wasn’t them. I realized it was me. And so I needed to make a change so I can make an impact on what I’m complaining about. That’s on me. So yeah, that comment, I still stand by that. I’m sick and tired of seeing the same people, but that’s on me to make it different, to do something about it. That’s on everybody who’s not in that picture to do it. And that’s exactly what you see happening right now. That’s why I’m doing what I’m doing, so that I can actually make a difference in that, and I can not talk about it, but I can actually be about it. I stand by what I said. I think those people are still gonna always be a revolving door around the top spot, and the titles, and the main events, because that’s the talent that they are. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t space for anybody else, and that’s where I come in. I’ve been there before, and it’s been too long since I’ve been there, so I’m coming back for what’s mine again.” If the same handful of wrestlers like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk are permanently taking up spots in the WWE main event revolving door, with Oba Femi quickly on his way there, then how many spots are realistically left for other wrestlers in WWE to take?
