With professional wrestling growing more and more popular over the past few years, many wrestlers have gained prominence outside of the industry as well. WWE superstars often make a special appearance at other sporting events, such as baseball or football. Damian Priest took things one step further after his recent collaboration with the New York Yankees.
The New York Yankees released a hype video in collaboration with the New York Yankees on social media. The video features Damian Priest talking about the team’s journey. Like many fans, Priest is excited to see the Yankees appear in the World Series for the first time since 2009 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Priest is originally from New York and grew up as a fan of the Yankees in the city. Earlier this year, the 42-year-old even made a surprise appearance at the Yankee Stadium while he was World Heavyweight Champion. He had cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase just a few days prior at WrestleMania XL to win his first world title in WWE.
While at the Yankee Stadium, the Archer of Infamy met Aaron Judge and other star members of the team. The MLB superstar also posed for a photo with the World Heavyweight Championship in his hands. While at the stadium, Priest talked about his love for baseball, and especially the Yankees.
