Current United States Champion Priest in an appearance on After The Bell, where he mentioned that Matt Riddle and recently released star Keith Lee as two of his closest friends.
Priest even mentioned that he helped train Matt at The Monster Factory.
He was quoted as saying:
“There’s a few yes, I mean, I know a lot of the guys that we worked together. Maybe we weren’t so much like best friends, like I worked with [Adam] Cole in the past and Roddy (Roderick Strong), basically The Undisputed Era. One of my best friends in the world is Matt Riddle. I helped train Matt at The Monster Factory for a while. So we formed a bond in those years that we were together because we were actually a team in the indies for a little bit. Then he left to come here. I went to Ring of Honor, and then I ended up here anyway. Then it was cool because then it was like we picked up right where we left off. Especially during his time at NXT, we were always together every road trip and in the locker room.” [via Wrestling Inc]
