Speaking in an interview with sean Ross Sapp Damian Priest revealed about his broken Arrow and some of the tricks.

"So, Broken Arrow. That's the difference between mine and everybody else's. It's that pop-launch. Honestly it started because, at first, I just picked people up and tossed them around. T-Bar / Dijak used to do that. So I was like, 'Huh, that's a keeper.' That's literally it. I wanted to do something that's done, it's simple, it's a known move, but I wanted to make it into my own. That's why I adapted the slam-throw into it."



Priest stopped using reckoning as his finish shortly before Cody Rhodes returned to WWE. The incident led to the news that Rhodes was returning to WWE, and Priest claimed that he just wanted to make one more move special.

"Of course. On my end, there was no thought as to why. I wanted to establish another move. That's all it was. There was no thought of I would lose a move. I just wanted to establish another move. How many guys would have multiple? The Undertaker, you have the Last Ride, Hell's Gate, Tombstone, and the Chokeslam. So for me, it was just I need more moves I can win matches with. I can't just rely on one move. So that's what it comes down to.

"So now, although I don't use the Reckoning any more, but I still have it. I have the South of Heaven, the Razor's Edge and contemplating throwing a submission in there. That literally was the thinking. I saw the stuff after and I thought, 'Hey, whatever. Give it attention.' Whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter. People are talking about it and that's all we want is for people to talk about it. So it worked."

Ever since Cody Rhodes returned, Priest has ceased to use reckoning as Rhodes used it as Crossroads.
