Top WWE Star Tipped To Betray Rhea Ripley And Join Heel Faction

This WWE star could turn on Rhea Ripley to join forces with a foe.

Damian Priest and Aleister Black have been feuding intensely over the past few months on WWE’s SmackDown brand. Priest has Rhea Ripley on his side, whereas Black has Zelina Vega, his real-life wife, helping him out.

They have had mixed tag matches, and the two have brawled relentlessly backstage and in the ring, trying to one-up each other.

Some fans and analysts feel that the feud is running out of steam and could have some life injected into it by introducing a major plot twist.

WWE star Damian Priest Could Betray Rhea Ripley

Popular WWE analyst Sam Roberts, on his show Notsam Wrestling, was asked for his opinion on whether the ongoing feud between Priest and Black would end after their next match, noting that it has lost some lustre and plateaued recently.

To answer the question, Roberts gave his own fantasy booking idea, saying he would like to see Priest turn on Rhea Ripley and join Aleister Black and Zelina to make a new heel faction in WWE.

I would turn Priest and team him up with Aleister Black. I would make Priest and Black just like a super duo. I don’t think there’s any reason for them to exist separate(ly).

I might have Damian Priest turn on Rhea Ripley or something like that…or somebody beloved. Like do another mixed tag rematch to settle it all and then have Priest turn on Rhea. People would hate it. And then I would have Aleister Black, Damian Priest and Zelina be a faction. (1:07:35 onwards)
