Damian Priest isnt buying into the yearly complaints about celebrities appearing in WWE, and he made it clear he sees the bigger picture when it comes to outside stars stepping into the spotlight. While speaking on the Gabby AF podcast, Priest was asked about the growing presence of celebrities around WrestleMania season. With names from sports, music, and entertainment regularly appearing on WWE programming, fans often debate whether those spots should go to full-time wrestlers instead. Priest admitted he understands the conversation, but he believes celebrity involvement plays a major role in expanding WWEs reach. He explained that the debate happens every year, but from his perspective, celebrities help bring fresh attention to the product and can turn their own fanbases into wrestling fans. Priest also pointed out that modern celebrity guests are putting in serious effort behind the scenes, training and learning the craft rather than just showing up for exposure. Priest continued by explaining how celebrity appearances can directly benefit the roster by exposing WWE talent to entirely new audiences who may not have tuned in otherwise. He also stressed that todays celebrity involvement is different from what it used to be, noting that many outside stars now treat wrestling with respect and take the responsibility seriously. Priest made it clear that modern celebrity guests are willing to train and earn their spot, which he believes makes a huge difference compared to earlier eras. With WrestleMania season always bringing crossover stars into the mix, Priests comments offer a look at how talent inside WWE view the situation differently than many fans online. Instead of seeing celebrities as competition, he sees them as an opportunity to grow the audience and bring more eyes to the product.
