Vince McMahon is in no hurry to decide Damian Priest's fate, but the former WWE NXT Superstar will be protected at all until WrestleMania. The report comes from Dave Meltzer, who claims that the WWE Chairman is undecided on the former North American Champion, but he is in a good spot right now.

Another good sign for Damian Priest: on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that WWE officials "like him" and that "he's gonna be protected for sure until WrestleMania and probably after." Meltzer did add the usual caveat about Vince McMahon changing his mind and giving up on Priest, "but for right now, he's in a good spot and he's doing well." (Via CSS)

Damian Priest was in the Royal Rumble this year and has appeared on Monday Night RAW regularly. However, he is often used in backstage segments and was the WWE Superstar who helped rapper Bad Bunny win the WWE 24/7 title.

Rumors right now suggest that Priest will be on the WWE WrestleMania 37 card. The reports claim he will team up with Bad Bunny to take on The Miz and John Morrison in a tag-team match.
