The recent Clash at the Castle event revealed some flaws in the matches that WWE was scouting. One of the most talked about incidents was Damian Priest’s blunder in the main event with Jade Cargill in the tag team match. At first glance, these mistakes seem harmless, but a closer look reveals a disturbing pattern.
The loose cable: The Invisible danger
Damian Priest and Jade Cargill made mistakes in training involving the ropes. What is the common cause here? The cable itself. There were reports that the rings at the Glasgow event were larger than usual. Footage of the first match shows the referee warning AJ Styles about the loose rope as he enters the ring. There was outrage from fans and fans alike.
So the refs knew the ropes were loose before the bell rang for the very first match and they weren’t fixed even by the main event???

The referee was warned and WWE remained silent
News that the referee saw a loose rope early in the match sparked a storm of criticism. Are users concerned about the safety of wrestlers? – An opinion expressed by many who are shocked that WWE did not act sooner to address the situation.
Damian Priest’s traumatic injury
The consequences of WWE’s inaction were very clear during the main event. Damian Priest attempts a high-risk move involving the ropes in his match against Drew McIntyre for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He stepped on the rope to prepare for the break, and the rope came loose, tripping him and injuring himself. Initial reports indicate that Priest’s injury could keep him out for a long time, but the extent of the injury is unknown.
Fan reaction and its impact on the future
Damian Priest’s accidents and injuries not only raise concerns about his health but also concern about WWE’s ability to keep wrestlers safe. Fans expressed their anger on social media, and many questioned why the cable was not repaired despite previous warnings. There has been widespread talk about safety protocols at WWE events and the measures taken to protect the performers.
Call for accountability
The fallout from Clash at the Castle will have a long-term impact on the WWE. Companies are now paying more attention to their security practices. There were also concerns among referees and other officials, who knew the rope had been loosened but did not act. As the wrestling world waits for more information about Damian Priest’s condition, WWE has taken more steps to address these safety concerns.
WWE answers and views
Until now, WWE has not released any official information about the rope release or the injuries suffered by Damian Priest and Jade Cargill. Still, the wrestling world is watching. Hopefully, this incident can be a wake-up call for WWE to pay more attention to player safety. Ensuring that such acts do not occur in the future is essential to maintaining the integrity and well-being of artists and fans.
