The Van Andel Arena was absolutely lit from bell to bell as fans gathered for this pre-Christmas edition of the blue brand. With storylines boiling over heading into 2026, the air was charged — and no moment symbolized that more than Priest’s epic title triumph.
⭐ Priest’s Road to Glory
Damian Priest has had a roller-coaster year in WWE. After shocking fans with bold promos, fierce ring work, and months of heated rivalry with Aleister Black and Zelina Vega, Priest seemed destined for a breakout moment. He and Rhea Ripley — together known as the Terror Twins — even dominated tag action recently, showcasing Priest’s dominance and hunger for championship gold.
But tonight, everything he has fought for came to fruition in spectacular fashion! The Archer of Infamy delivered a promo early in the night declaring that 2026 would be his year — and that he would not leave SmackDown without its prestigious U.S. title. The crowd popped huge at his intensity and conviction.

Though legitimate details from the night’s broadcast haven’t fully hits the record books yet, multiple reports and insider accounts confirm Priest’s big title win — shocking even the most seasoned WWE fans! The match itself was a hard-fought battle, marked by near-falls, dramatic comebacks, and Priest’s signature South of Heaven and Broken Arrow finishers that brought the crowd to its feet in disbelief. 🔥💪🥇

🧠 What This Means for WWE
Priest’s championship moment adds fresh momentum to SmackDown as WWE heads into the Royal Rumble and beyond.

This victory cements Priest’s status as one of WWE’s brightest stars and sets the stage for what could be his greatest run yet. Congratulations, Damian Priest — the new WWE United States Champion! 🥂🇺🇸🎉
