Sucks for Priest but I can totally understand the reasons of Owens/Reigns supposedly not being in favour of it given it no made sense at all.On WOR, Meltzer says that Damian Priest was due to debut on Smackdown last week as Kevin Owens' new friend, leading to Owens and Priest v Reigns and Uso on the show, but Kevin thought that there was no logic behind being best friends with Damien Priest out of nowhere when they have no history and nothing in common. Roman agreed, and the angle was dropped. Apparently Priest was in the building and ready to go.
It shouldn't be on KO and Roman to tell the writers that that idea made no fucking sense.
