On the September 26 episode of WWE SmackDown, Damian Priest found himself embroiled in a heated backstage confrontation that intensified his ongoing WWE rivalry. Kit Wilson aggressively challenged Priest, accusing him of embodying “toxic masculinity” and blaming him for perpetuating a cycle of patriarchal trauma. Wilson’s outburst escalated when he stood up from his wheelchair to push Priest, branding him as toxic due to his recent behavior.
As Priest moved toward Wilson, the rival attempted to flee but lost control of his wheelchair and fell, setting the stage for a surprising development.
Aleister Black’s Ambush Raises the Stakes in the Feud
Immediately following the encounter with Wilson, Priest was caught off guard by a familiar voice asking, “Looking for me, Damian?” Turning around, he was suddenly struck by Aleister Black with a devastating Black Mass finisher, leaving him unconscious on the floor.
After the attack, Black remained seated beside Priest and issued a chilling remark:
“Well, at least like it, looks like we’re getting somewhere now? l. I feel that we’re going to do this until there’s only one of us left standing. Oh! How rude of me? Happy Birthday buddy!”
These cold words hint at a relentless and possibly final confrontation between the two competitors, suggesting the next chapter in their conflict may culminate in a decisive Last Man Standing match.
Ongoing Rivalry Between Damian Priest and Aleister Black Intensifies
The rivalry between Damian Priest and Aleister Black began in late August 2025, when Black launched a brutal assault on Priest, quickly escalating their tension into a high-stakes feud. The two have since clashed multiple times on WWE SmackDown, with Black securing a victory in their initial singles match by delivering his signature Black Mass move.
The violent back-and-forth attacks and escalating animosity between these wrestlers have kept WWE fans on edge, anticipating a dramatic showdown to end their conflict once and for all.
BLACK. MASS.
