One of the longest-running rivalries of last year finally came to an end tonight on WWE SmackDown during the main event, after the match was announced last week.

Damian Priest and Aleister Black have been at each other’s throats for the last few months now and have already had multiple matches against each other till now.

After Priest was taken out by Black on SmackDown two weeks back, the two were scheduled for an Ambulance Match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, which would end the rivalry between the two.

The match started abruptly as Priest was jumped by Black while he was still making his entrance. However, he took control quickly as he managed to use the Ambulance stretcher as a weapon.

He set up a table on the ringside to use to his advantage and looked to put Black through it with a chokeslam, but he reversed the move and instead hit Priest with a meteroa through the table.

They continued to wrestle each other in an incredibly brutal match, which saw them push each other to their limit. Aleister always had Zelina by his side during the match as she helped him by either giving him instructions or handing him weapons, like a steel chair.

Zelina’s time in the match ultimately came to an end when we went to open the ambulance door for Black, only to be met by Rhea Ripley, who was waiting in the ambulance. She hit Zelina with a Riptide in the middle of the ring to take her out of the equation.

This seemed to have given Priest the platform he needed as he hit Black with a crutch, a fire extinguisher, and a fireball to the face. The former WWE Champion then hit Aleister with a Razor’s Edge into the windshield of the Ambulance.

Priest then ended the match by pushing Black from the top of the Ambulance through a table he had set up earlier. He then dragged Aleister Black’s body and locked him in the Ambulance to win the match.
