Damian Priest Reflects On WWE Tag Team Titles Being Taken More Seriously

Priest, who is a half of the Undisputed Tag Team Champions alongside Finn Balor, discussed his impressive title as champion. Also, Priest admitted that there was a time when titles were not considered to be a serious matter but today there is more importance to the titles in the current age, particularly when WrestleMania gets closer.

“I think it goes without saying that, unfortunately, there was a time where the tag team titles fell off a little bit and they weren’t as important as they should be. Then, obviously, the focus came back: WrestleMania main event [for the] tag team titles? That’s a wild one, no one could have predicted that the tag team championships would be the main event of one of the nights of WrestleMania. So that tells you everything you need to know as far as where they are now as far as importance.”

“Especially during Mania season, knowing that being a tag team champion going into WrestleMania, you know you’re gonna be in a high-profile angle or match or just something. All we want to do is do something important and having the Tag Team Championships, we’re there. So it makes life a little easier.”
