One moment has the potential to change anyone’s life. This line goes perfectly for someone like Damian Priest. The latter became the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania XL, and from that moment onwards, he became the biggest face of Monday Night Raw. However, it was not the same forever. Recently, in an interview, the Punisher revealed he was planning to give up on WWE earlier in his career.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Damian Priest revealed that he was about to quit working for WWE. He said that he was informed in 2017 that he had been rejected by the company. Priest further added that WWE told him that they had no place for him. The former World Champion said it was that moment he realized it was time to hang up his boots for good.

I gave up on the idea of working for WWE. I tried multiple times to get in, and in 2017 when I got an email saying there's just nothing for you here, I gave up.

Right before I ran out, all I was thinking was 'I'm not going to sprint because god forbid I trip and fall'. I'm going to have a good stride, just comfortable. Forgot about all of that when the music hit. I hit Drew so hard with that briefcase, and it went flying,
