Priest recently sat down for a chat at WWE’s The Bump with his Judgment Day mates Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley, where he spoke about the high and lows of his career and what motivated him. He claimed that due to his New York Spanish accent and inability to speak English proficiently, he has never felt at ease. Damian Priest identified The Miz as a source of inspiration, claiming that because The Miz exudes such assurance in the ring and is well-liked by the audience, he could utilize The Miz as an example for his own performances.
“I have a New York Spanish accent, I have a deep voice, and I don’t speak either language perfectly [laughs], so I just bumble a lot and stumble over my own words. For me, I’ve never been comfortable. But watching him [The Miz] do his thing, I was like, ‘Oh I can do this this way, it actually makes it easier to make sense and people can understand what I’m saying.’ It was just little things like that, just watching him being in the ring, I could pick up on it and feed off of him.”
