“Titles to fall off again,” Damian Priest highlights the importance of the WWE Tag Team Championships

Tag team wrestling has always been an integral part of the WWE landscape. However, in the last decade, the prestige of tag team titles has diminished due to poor booking decisions. Damian Priest, the current tag team champion, has shared his views on the importance of the tag team titles.

In a recent interview with Inside the Ropes, Archer of Infamy discussed the importance of tag team wrestling and the significance of the tag team titles in WWE. He acknowledged that there was a time when the tag team titles lost some of their prestige, but emphasized that the focus has since returned. Priest highlighted the unexpected main event status of the tag team titles at WrestleMania 39 night one as a testament to their current importance and relevance.

Priest expressed pride in holding the tag team titles and stated that he and Finn Balor are committed to maintaining their significance. He noted that not only tag teams but also individual big stars are coveting the titles, looking to team up and challenge for them. Archer of Infamy’s comments underscore the renewed emphasis on tag team wrestling in WWE and highlight the efforts to ensure that the tag team titles remain a key focal point of the promotion.

We (Finn Balor and I) are carrying that tradition of making sure that the titles stay important, and we take pride in that. We don't want the titles to fall off again.

Damian Priest set to defend his tag team titles at the Elimination Chamber

Finn Balor and Damian Priest have emerged as a dominant force in the tag team division, showcasing their strength and skill as champions. Holding the Undisputed Tag Team Titles for 120 days and counting, they have faced and conquered numerous challenges, further solidifying their reign. Despite their success, a new threat has emerged in the form of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, presenting what could be their toughest challenge yet.

In a series of intense qualifying matches featuring multiple tag teams from both Raw and SmackDown, #DIY and the team of Dunne and Bate emerged as the top contenders from their respective brands. Ultimately, Dunne secured the victory for his team with a brutal Bitter End, solidifying their status as formidable challengers to Balor and Priest’s tag team reign.

Securing this victory has granted Dunne and Bate the opportunity to challenge Judgment Day for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships at the upcoming Elimination Chamber PLE event in Perth, Australia. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await this highly anticipated showdown. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Balor and Priest can maintain their reign of dominance or if the newly reformed team will succeed in dethroning them, potentially ushering in a new era in the tag team division.
