Damian had made it to Marx's CrossFit Gym at 2:50p.m. and he was doing his bench presses. The rest of the Judgement Day members, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus surrounded Damian and he kept doing his bench presses. Rhea took off his headphones and he ignored them.
Rhea: We've gotta talk about this, Priest.
Damian: Like hell we do. I came here to work out, and then, take a nap.
Finn: You can't avoid this subject forever, you know.
Damian: I don't wanna talk about it, so, just drop it.
Dominik: No way, we're not droppin' this. You've gotta chip on your shoulder, and the only way you vent it is through the ring in a match, and workin' out.
Damian: Would you rather for me to drink myself into a coma?
Sheamus: No, but we'd rather for you to talk about it, and help you find a solution to the problem.
Damian got up after settling the weights into the holding bars and got onto a treadmill. He ran at a medium pace and they followed him.
Drew: Priest, you've gotta settle down, sooner or later.
Damian: When I retire from wrestlin', then, I'll settle down. I'm not leadin' anyone on and I'm not bangin' every chick in sight.
Rhea: So, when do you plan on settlin' down, when you're Ric Flair's or Undertaker's ages?
Damian: Hey, I'll have you know that I'll still be in the wrestlin' business even during those ages. You guys act like me being a single stallion is a bad thing. No, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. I'm keepin' my options and I haven't seen not one single woman who I think can tame this wild stallion let alone take me on.
Dominik: Okay, you look here, every single one of us is married except for JD.
Damian (sarcastically): And yet, you're singlin' me out? Way to make a point there, Dom.
Dominik: What I'm sayin' is a man of your stature and age is already married and have kids. You have neither. You have everything but those two things.
Damian: Have you popped out a couple of kids, yet? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Sheamus: There's a woman out there for you, Damian. You just haven't realized it, yet. If you don't open your eyes, soon, you're gonna let the wrong woman slip through your fingers.
Damian (angrily): Oh my God, damn, you bugs! You just don't know when to shut up, do you?! I'm not ready! I need time for that shit! Time that I don't fuckin' have, right now! Get off my dick about it! I like it better when you guys used to pester me about who I'm gonna fight in the ring, next!
He got off the machine and stormed off cussing in Spanish. He kicked a Swiss ball and stormed out of the gym. They called his name and he ignored them.
Rhea: Okay, maybe, we came at him a little too strong with it. I've seen him get pissed off before but this takes the cake.
Sheamus: Well, we did come at him like he had a drug addiction.
JD: Well, he does, he's addicted to this lifestyle, and he's not thinkin' about what's next for his future after all of this.
Rhea (sarcastically): Oh, now, you chime in, way to go, JD.
JD: I'm just sayin'.
Finn: Okay, that's enough. Let's let him cool down, we'll invite him out for drinks on us, and we'll come to a conclusion with this.
Dominik: What did you have in mind?
Finn: I'll tell you guys about it before he comes, tonight. I mean, Priest is in his prime, but we've gotta get him to see the big picture without him thinkin' that we're pressurin' him into doin' somethin' that he doesn't wanna do.
Drew: So, basically, you're sayin' that we should let him know that we respect his wishes as his friends, but there's more to the WWE than meets the eye?
Finn: Exactly, all of us have found our partners during our journey while workin' in this business, and some of us have found our partners before we even entered this business. Priest is gonna find his woman somewhere along his journey while being in this business, and once he's experienced what we've experienced, he'll come back to tell us that we were right all along. We're not gonna hook him up with any woman. He'll do that himself.
Sheamus: So, you're sayin'--?
Finn (smiling): Yes, let's get the plan into motion. I'll send a massive text to you guys about where we should meet up, tonight.
They left the gym.
