Is former WWE Champion next in line to challenge Damian Priest for the World Title after Jey Uso? Exploring the possibility

Damian Priest has just started his reign as World Heavyweight Champion, but he already needs to be wary. At Backlash, he will go head-to-head with one of the top stars on WWE's roster - Jey Uso. The former Bloodline member is a formidable opponent who could easily dethrone The Archer of Infamy. But, assuming Priest is successful in his title defense, who is next in line as a challenger?

Well, there is a possibility that a former WWE Champion could be hot on Damian Priest's tail. This former champion happens to be none other than Kofi Kingston. As things stand, Kingston is advertised for WWE's UK tour and will kick things off by taking on Priest in Birmingham. This could be a preview of what is to come and could make for a very interesting feud.

Kofi Kingston had a short reign as WWE Champion back in 2018-19. Having him take on Damian Priest would be a great way to restart his singles career, and elevate him back to being a perennial championship contender. It certainly would introduce an interesting dynamic that would see The New Day and The Judgment Day face off.

It certainly is something to think about, but at this point, this is all just speculation. There is no telling if WWE plans on turning this UK tour match-up into a storyline. The WWE Universe will just have to wait and see what's in store.

What could a feud between Damian Priest and Kofi Kingston mean for The New Day?

If WWE does pull the trigger on this feud between Damian Priest and Kofi Kingston, it would raise many questions for The New Day. With Big E still out with an injury, the storyline would see both Kingston and Xavier Woods split up as a tag team.

However, when it comes to WWE, the possibilities are endless concerning what comes next for the legendary faction. With King of the Ring just around the corner, Woods would likely want to retain his crown.

Additionally, there is a chance that Kingston and Woods remain a tag team while also pursuing their singles careers. After all, there is no rule saying they can't hold both the tag team title and a singles championship. For all we know, any potential feud between Priest and Kofi could be a short-term one, much like the one between the latter and Bobby Lashley back in 2021.

At the end of the day, there are so many avenues WWE can explore with The New Day. But, whether it's challenging for singles titles or going after the tag team titles, there can be no denying that it will be entertaining.
