Damian Priest and Lola Vice took a break from WWE business to hit the red carpet in New York City, and the couple wasn’t exactly keeping a low profile. The two showed up together for the November 8, 2026 premiere of Netflix’s new animated movie Steps, giving cameras plenty to work with.
The footage shared across social media show the couple posing together at the event, with Priest rocking a dark patterned suit, orange-tinted sunglasses and his signature slicked-back hair. Lola went with a black cutout top that showed off her abs, paired with a long black skirt. The two looked pretty comfortable together as they smiled for photographers.
But Priest wasn’t just there to enjoy a night out with his girlfriend. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion actually has a role in the movie, voicing Cracktor, a troll overlord in Netflix’s new spin on the Cinderella story.
The film follows Cinderella’s stepsisters, Lilith and Margot, with Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu providing their voices. Amanda Seyfried plays Cinderella, while Daniel Radcliffe, Bette Midler, Nikki Glaser and Peter Dinklage are also part of the cast. Priest previously spoke to Netflix about getting involved with the movie and explained how his years in WWE helped him prepare for voice acting.
“As WWE Superstars, we use our voices as an extension of our onscreen character. I enjoyed channeling that energy into making Cracktor feel intense and larger-than-life. I think people are going to be surprised by how much of a show-stealing character he is.”
The NYC premiere also brought out several members of the cast, including Seyfried, Wong, Hsu, Radcliffe and Midler. The movie is set to hit Netflix on November 20, giving Priest another chance to show what he can do outside a WWE ring.
As for Priest and Lola, the two haven’t been shy about their relationship. As Ringside News previously covered, they were friends for roughly two years before things turned romantic. They also packed on the PDA during a Fourth of July beach trip earlier this year.
Priest has also explained why his relationship with Lola works, pointing to the fact that they’re both WWE Superstars who understand the crazy schedules and constant travel that come with the job. Priest is clearly enjoying life outside the ring, and having Lola by his side for his latest Hollywood outing made the night even better. Between his Netflix movie role and their red carpet appearance, the WWE couple had themselves quite a night in New York.
