Damian Priest had to be convinced for a documentary

Back in 2024, WWE did a documentary on The Archer of Infamy’s rise to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. It was named ‘WWE 24: El Campeón’. However, it so happens that Priest had to be convinced of it.

On The Sal Licata Show, Damian Priest revealed that he would constantly turn down the request until he was presented with a very convincing reason to do the documentary.

I’ll be honest. I said no a lot of times to the documentary. They were like, ‘dude, you have a great story.’ I was like, ‘absolutely not. I’m not here for that. I just want to entertain.’ I just want to do that and get a reaction, an emotional reaction from our fans, and the way I was convinced, basically it was being told, ‘look, your story might help somebody in a positive way. It could, you know, really inspire somebody,’ and I was like, if I could help one person, I mean, how could you say no to that? Then that’s how they convinced me, basically. That’s how they got me, and it worked.
