Damian Priest joined AAA suddenly, but he also disappeared suddenly.
Indeed, he had a shot at the vacant AAA Latin American Championship, and then he vanished from the screens without a clear reason.
This week, Damian Priest gave an interview to Complex Graps and confirms that he was slated to participate in at least two more shows. Unfortunately, his travel schedule for SmackDown and AAA on Saturdays was incompatible:
“There are a lot of things I wanted to accomplish there, notably winning that championship. Unfortunately, it’s a matter of schedule. It’s simply very difficult to travel to Mexico on Saturdays when I’m on SmackDown on Fridays. That’s what happened.
I was announced for two shows, and for both, I ultimately had to cancel my appearance. I felt bad because it makes it seem like I’m standing someone up, and it also gives the brand a bad image. So we had a discussion, and unfortunately the conclusion was: ‘Let’s put this on hold for now.’ If I take a break from SmackDown, which I have never done, we might then consider me spending a few months in AAA, which I would love.”
This development confirms that Damian Priest could return to AAA if SmackDown no longer needs him for storylines.
Let us not forget that Priest was appearing on AAA shows while also being with his girlfriend Lola Vice. But she was called up to the RAW roster, so she also pulled out of the AAA shows. A complete withdrawal of the couple to prioritise RAW and SmackDown.
