New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge met with 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 the integral members of WWE for a few years now.

The biggest moment of Priest’s career came on 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 more than 70,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

Originally from New York City, Priest brought his new shiny gold belt to meet Judge.

Priest has been a member of the evil stable The Judgment Day since 2022 and has risen to the group’s leader in recent months.

Priest reportedly teased his future appearance in The Bronx during Monday night’s episode of WWE’s weekly television show ‘RAW’, appearing alongside the rest of The Judgment Day.

“Everyone rise for Judgment Day,” Priest said during a promo.

It takes a tall person to tower over the 6-foot priest, but the 6-foot-2 judge does just that.

Priest’s first title defense will take place in the coming weeks against Jey Uso.

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