Luis Martínez[1] (born September 26, 1982) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, performing on the Raw brand under the ring name Damian Priest. He is a member of The Judgment Day stable and is the current World Heavyweight Champion in his first reign.
He is also known for his work in Ring of Honor (ROH) under the ring name Punishment Martinez, where he is a former one-time ROH World Television Champion.[5] He also worked in Japan through ROH's relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Martínez joined WWE in 2018 and began on its developmental brand, NXT, under his current ring name, winning the NXT North American Championship once. In 2021, he moved to WWE's main roster and has since won the WWE United States Championship once, the 2023 Men's Money in the Bank contract, and is a four-time tag team champion, holding the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships twice each under the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship banner with fellow Judgment Day stablemate Finn Bálor, being the only tag team to have done so.
