The Wrestling Inc. Managing Editor Nick Hausman recently sat down with MLW’s Gangrel to discuss Edge and Priest’s pairing at Raw.
A retired professional wrestler, Laurence “The Seeker” is not involved with the current professional wrestling scene. He retired after participating in WWE as one of Hollywood Jack’s minions, Bray Wyatt. In 2016, he made his appearance at WrestleMania 38 to help the Hall Of Famer defeat AJ Styles and since then, the two men have been working together. With the new spooky goth esthetic many fans have commented on the Brood vibes they are getting but Laurence said that those comparisons don’t quite work.
I think it’s cool, I don’t know where they’re going with it, I talked to Adam. But I haven’t talked to him since right after WrestleMania. I don’t ask too many questions, I kind of like to be surprised, I don’t want to know so I might go say something stupid on the podcast. Like I leaked something.
Gangrel expressed that he was glad to hear that Edge was joining WWE and thinks this would be a great opportunity for her. Gangrel also said that they should welcome Rhea Ripley alongside them as well. He said:
There’s no reunions, no talks, with Christian or Edge. Although it would be really cool to be with Damian Priest and Edge, that’s cool. I love how he’s got a mixed Brood/Taker vibe with the raise of the chair and the fire. That was really cool. I am really happy for him, he’s a really good dude.
And from what I know of Damian Priest, all my interactions with him, a few conversations that I have had with him, he’s a great dude. So, I think they deserve each other, in a good way, and I hope they do really good business, and I hope they do big things. I hope they get Rhea Ripley, and some really cool people in this faction, and so some really cool stuff.
Edge joked that Undertaker had allowed him to go more “supernatural” following his Hall of Fame induction. He said:
I think maybe Taker at the Hall Of Fame tagged him out and said, ‘hey Edge, take it for your last few years and then turn it over to Priest, and let him finish it out. Maybe they’ll turn it over to Finn Balor after that, who knows? Maybe the old Fiend will be back, who knows?
