► Damian Priest's awakening
“It was being what I thought they wanted me to be. I remember that my boss, Triple H, approached me one day and said: 'The day you stop pretending to be you, and you are simply you, you will earn a lot of money in this business'. He added: 'Undertaker gave me the same advice. I know it sounds weird, right? How does anyone tell you that you are not being you, when you think so? You know yourself, but one day … the card will fall. ' And yes, one day it just happened.
“I remember that I was in a NXT fight against Finn Bálor, and it was the first time I felt that everything clicks. Then, they climbed the main roster. Somehow, I ended up again on the same way: trying to be what others wanted it to be. The same again. And triple H telling me: 'You are tense. You are repressing. Get over. Who cares? ' He told me: 'I prefer to tell you when you return after the fight,' Ey, relax, do not do that, or you are happening '… to have to tell you,' Ey, I need more of you. ' And at that moment it was another of those clicks, such as 'Ok'.
“Obviously, having friends close a lot. Being in The Judgment Day raised my trust a lot. Only the fact of having them with me in the ring, whether speaking or fighting, made me feed on their energy. And there I began to feel calm, a fluency … and that changed everything. “
