Survivor Series witnessed the unexpected fall of Damian Priest at the hands of his former friend Finn Balor. The Prince unceremoniously attacked The Punisher to cost him his World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther. It was quite a shocker, as fans were least expecting Balor to once again intervene in Priest’s business.

Following the show, the 43-year-old revealed why he once again attacked Damian Priest during his match against The Ring General. The former Universal Champion emphasized that his grudge against The Punisher is far from over. Determined to settle the score, he vowed to make his former best friend’s life miserable once more.

Moreover, after Survivor Series went off the air, Priest even ambushed Balor from behind. However, The Judgment Day members came to the rescue of their leader, igniting a massive brawl backstage. While it seemed like the former World Heavyweight Champion had the upper hand, The Prince and his crew went on to decimate the latter with multiple chair shots.

Furthermore, Finn was the sole reason why Damian lost his World Title to Gunther at SummerSlam in the first place. However, The Punisher settled the conflict following their match at Bad Blood in October. Seemingly, Balor has some sadistic plans for the 42-year-old moving forward. It will be interesting to see how this new chapter in this blood feud transpires from here on.

What is the future for Finn Balor and Damian Priest following Survivor Series?

Apparently, the futures of Finn Balor and Damian Priest are going to be entangled for quite some time moving forward. When it seemed that this feud might be over, WWE introduced a new chapter in the story of the former best friends. Therefore, there is a high chance WWE could be planning a grand finale for this epic rivalry down the line.

Early speculation suggested that WWE might extend this rivalry all the way to WrestleMania 41. Reflecting on it now, Triple H could be aiming to turn this feud into a trilogy. The first chapter unfolded at their Bad Blood clash, while the second might take place at either Saturday Night’s Main Event or the Royal Rumble in the coming months. The finale, however, could be one of the high-profile clashes at WrestleMania.

Given the dynamic between Finn Balor and Damian Priest, WWE might consider a Hell in a Cell match to culminate their feud at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Such a bout would deliver poetic justice, as the former best friends, who once stood together at the pinnacle, now find themselves battling to destroy each other in the Devil’s Playground.
