Damian Priest faced Jeff Hardy on RAW. There are few stars on the show with more momentum than Damian Priest, and it could be argued that he has had the most popularity growth in 2021 of anyone on the entire RAW roster.

WWE's handling of Priest has admittedly been impeccable so far. He has been an entertaining character to watch, and his United States title reign that started at SummerSlam is getting off on the right foot.

This week on RAW, Priest faced and defeated WWE legend Jeff Hardy. He was attacked by his Extreme Rules opponent post-match, but Priest managed to get a Brogue Kick in revenge.

The feud continues to intensify, but nothing has indicated that Sheamus will regain the United States Championship.

Drew McIntyre's run on RAW right now is a mixed bag. He shouldn't be in the main title picture, and WWE are doing the best they can to ensure that he stays relevant.

This week on RAW, Drew McIntyre teamed up with the Viking Raiders to defeat Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Shanky. He did exactly that, with the Claymore Kick ending the match in no time.

Unfortunately for Jinder Mahal, a push on RAW doesn't seem to be on the cards. However, WWE is carefully pushing and protecting Drew McIntyre for when they eventually need him for a high-profile feud.
