Details behind Damian Priest's recent WWE re-signing (Patreon)

Damian Priest signed a new contract with WWE recently, and he’s not going anywhere for a while.

Priest confirmed he’s signed a new deal with the company recently after his World Heavyweight Title win, while speaking with Cathy Kelley after WWE Raw. Fightful Select learned that the deal was completed a couple of months ago, and actually came down to the wire. Priest’s contract was up in February, and was just mere days away from expiring.

However, WWE sources say that they’d always planned on keeping Priest, and the two sides had talked plenty before the new contract was made official. Priest is staying with WWE on a multi-year deal. 

Priest also had full control over his new theme song, which we’re told has went over exceptionally well within WWE. 

Since Priest's re-signing, WWE has restructured their talent relations.

Variety revealed that Priest signed with Paradigm Talent Agency, as well.
