New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge met WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at Yankee Stadium before Tuesday night's game against the Miami Marlins

Judge is the Yankees biggest star, while Priest has been one of WWE's integral roster members for a few years.  

The biggest moment of Priest's career took place Sunday, when he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to defeat Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. 


WrestleMania took place in front of over 70,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.  

Priest is originally from New York City and brought his new, shiny gold belt with him to meet Judge.

Since 2022, Priest has been a member of the villainous stable, The Judgment Day, and has risen to become the group's leader in recent months.  

Priest might have teased his future appearance in The Bronx during Monday night's episode of WWE's flagship weekly television show 'RAW' while appearing alongside the rest of The Judgment Day. 

'All rise for the Judgment Day,' Priest said during a promo. 

It takes a tall individual to tower over 6-foot-5 Priest, but the 6-foot-7 Judge does just that. 

Priest's first title defense will be in the coming weeks against Jey Uso. 

The Yankees kept their good fortunes going with a 3-2 win over the Marlins.
