Damian Priest Returns On WWE Monday Night Raw

Damian Priest returned to WWE television on this week's Monday Night Raw after over a month away from the red brand.

Priest was last seen in action on the Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania Backlash in a Lumberjack Match, but has been absent from all WWE programming in the six weeks after amid reports that the Archer Of Infamy was suffering with a back injury.

It was then reported by Fightful Select, however, that Priest's absence was merely down to a lack of creative direction for him following the end of his feud with The Miz and John Morrison, and that he could return to Raw this week if there was a plan to use him.

That appeared to be the case as the former NXT North American Champion came back to Raw on Monday night, competing in an over-the-top-rope Battle Royal to determine who would take Randy Orton's place in the Last Chance Triple Threat Match for a spot in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Priest was the runner-up in the Battle Royal, being eliminated by winner Riddle, who was standing in as proxy for his absent tag-team partner.
