Luis Martínez (born September 26, 1982) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Damian Priest and is a former one-time World Heavyweight Champion. He is also known for his tenure in Ring of Honor (ROH) under the ring name Punishment Martinez, where he is a former one-time ROH World Television Champion. 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 ring name, winning the NXT North American Championship. In 2021, he moved to WWE's main roster and won the WWE United States Championship. He rose to popularity during his time as a co-founding member of The Judgment Day from 2022 to 2024, where he won the 2023 Men's Money in the Bank contract, became 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 former Judgment Day stablemate Finn Bálor (being the only tag team to achieve such an accolade), and won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL after becoming the second man in history to cash in successfully at the namesake event.
