Damian Priest reacts to WWE news as several current and former WWE personalities recently responded to a heartfelt update from Trent Seven, a former WWE NXT UK Tag Team Champion. The news came earlier this week when Seven shared the arrival of his newborn child, marking a deeply emotional moment for the wrestler and his fans.
Trent Seven, who began with WWE in 2016 and competed primarily in the UK-based developmental brand, posted images celebrating the birth alongside a caption describing the week as the best of his life. His announcement prompted reactions from wrestling stars such as Edge (Adam Copeland), Natalya, Damian Priest, Renee Paquette, and others who showed their support through likes and comments on social media.
Trent Seven’s WWE and Post-WWE Wrestling Journey
After joining WWE’s developmental system in the United Kingdom, Trent Seven earned the WWE NXT UK Tag Team Championship and competed for several years before being released in 2022. Since then, he has participated in various independent wrestling promotions, continuing to build his career outside the WWE umbrella. His experiences post-WWE reflect a significant chapter in his professional journey characterized by international appearances and diverse opportunities.
Interest in AEW and Reflections on Career Growth
In a 2023 interview with Cultaholic, Trent Seven revealed he was very close to signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), another major wrestling promotion. Although the deal did not come to fruition, Seven spoke positively about his career path following WWE, highlighting the challenges and accomplishments along the way.
“There was one point where it was incredibly close to inking something, but sometimes things just don’t work out do they? Sometimes people are doing whatever they’re doing backstage. You know, you’re trying to plan a show [and] selling out Wembley. Sometimes some peoples’ names fall to the bottom of the thinking pile. But so be it, man. I couldn’t look back on the last 15 months and be prouder, I think. The way it’s worked out, the peaks and the troughs, the ups and the downs, the constant testing, the amount of people I’ve seen, the amount of countries I’ve been to. But now it feels like I’ve found a home.”
Trent Seven’s comments emphasize his resilience and optimism despite setbacks, and he acknowledged feeling settled after his extensive time in independent circuits.
Community and Wrestling Peers Celebrate the New Arrival
Besides likes from Damien Priest and Edge, many wrestlers, including Ivar, Ethan Page, Meiko Satomura, Natalya, Lyra Valkyria, Matt Hardy, Jinder Mahal, Axiom, and Mustafa Ali, left supportive and warm messages on Seven’s post. Their responses underscored the strong community spirit within wrestling circles and highlighted the personal significance of this milestone for Seven.
Potential Future Moves and Impact on Trent Seven’s Career
While there is no current news of Trent Seven returning to WWE, his ongoing presence in independent wrestling promotions and past near-signing with AEW suggest that his career continues to evolve dynamically. The support from peers like Damian Priest and others reflects the respect he holds within the wrestling world, potentially influencing future opportunities in major wrestling companies.
His announcement about his newborn child also humanizes him beyond his wrestling persona, offering fans and colleagues a glimpse of his personal happiness and growth outside the ring.
