#4. How long will WWE RAW look to tease Damian Priest’s heel turn?

Damian Priest has been hinting towards a heel turn on WWE RAW for some time now. His darker side has come out during matches and cost him many big contests. However, he has managed to retain his United States Championship amid all odds.

Priest nearly lost his title to Dolph Ziggler on RAW last week. However, he managed to direct his anger at Robert Roode and finished Ziggler off to win the match.

How long will Damian continue to bring out his dark side during contests? Will WWE turn him heel soon and allow him to change his character during his United States Championship reign?

The Archer of Infamy has played a babyface character since his move to the main roster. It’s time WWE tried something new and different with Priest.


#3. Did WWE need to retire the NXT Cruiserweight Championship?

On Tuesday night’s WWE NXT, Carmelo Hayes and Roderick Strong competed in a title vs. title match. Hayes was confident that he would retain his North American Championship and also win Roderick Strong’s Cruiserweight title.

Melo managed to do just that and defeated the veteran to win his title. NXT will likely retire the cruiserweight championship following the win. WWE’s cruiserweight division has taken a significant hit over the years despite Jordan Devlin and Santos Escobar elevating the title with their great work.

Was it a good move to merge the two titles? Will retiring the NXT Cruiserweight Championship hurt the entire cruiserweight division? It was good to have a title for the lighter superstars on the roster and WWE could have done without retiring the championship.
