Damian Priest has a unique look that is comparable to WWE Hall of Famer Razor Ramon, according to ex WWE writer Vince Russo.

Priest has had a swift rise in WWE since signing for the company in 2018. During his three-year stint in NXT, the current RAW star won the North American Championship, and he was brought to the main roster last year.

Priest has had a strong run on the Red Brand over the last year. He lost by pinfall for the first time earlier this week.

Speaking on the latest episode of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo stated that United States Champion Damian Priest has all the tools to be a top star as well as a look that resembles Hall of Famer Razor Ramon.

"Bro, this guy, Damian Priest, let's face it - he's got a cool, unique look," Russo said. "This guy can really get over like 'Razor Ramon cool'. He's got the look. He's got a very cool look."

However, Russo expressed his displeasure with the decision to give Priest a split personality. According to the 60-year-old, there was little logic to his recent character change.

"But, no, he's got to have a split personality," Russo said. "Now, does that make any sense because the minute that bell rings shouldn't he turn into that monster? I'll give you the perfect example - Mike Tyson. When the bell rang was Mike Tyson an animal or did Mike Tyson wait till somebody punched him square in the face first?"

Damian Priest idolized WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall/Razor Ramon

Damian Priest has spoken about his admiration for Scott Hall in the past. In fact, he even asked the Hall of Famer permission to use the Razor’s Edge move.

"Of course I was nervous when I asked Scott just permission for anything, whether it was some mannerisms or gear or even moves," Priest said. "As most people know, I use a Razor’s Edge in my repertoire, which he was also cool enough to bless me with it."

The United States Champion seems to be highly-regarded in WWE, and many feel that he could be a world champion in the future.
