While Damian Priest was a champion in NXT, his debut on RAW could have been a much bigger deal, as Vince Russo explained on the latest edition of SK Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show with Dr. Chris Featherstone.
Russo highlighted that people who don’t watch NXT would have had no clue about Damian Priest. The former NXT Superstar’s debut would have been more impactful had WWE aired a few segments or vignettes to hype it up before the show.
Chris Featherstone was quick to note that only a small section of the main roster viewers watch NXT, which warranted more promotional tactics for Damian Priest’s move to the Red brand.

Damian Priest is not the only one, as Russo added that WWE had done the same with several NXT Superstars in the past. He named Ricochet and Aleister Black as Superstars who suffered a similar fate following their move to the main roster.
Russo concluded by stating the importance of vignettes and how it has played a pivotal role in building up Superstars for several decades.
