#3. Hope is true: Reason why WWE is using Damian Priest so frequently on RAW

Damian Priest has been having a fantastic start to his career on the WWE main roster. Ever since he debuted in late January, he has been aligned with Puerto Rican celebrity singer Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny seems to be a big WWE fan himself, and with over 37 million followers across three social media platforms, it's no surprise that the company has kept him and will do so until WrestleMania 37 atleast.

Damian Priest has benefited from it greatly, as his Puerto Rican heritage has led to him being paired with Bad Bunny on WWE TV. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Bad Bunny brings new viewers to WWE, and Damian Priest is a direct benefactor:

"They think that the longer Bad Bunny is out there, the more Hispanics are going to watch. He does do well on YouTube. He does really well on YouTube." [H/T WrestlingNews.Co for the transcription]

We hope this is true because it's good to use a celebrity to elevate new Superstars. It's a smart strategy from WWE.
