SummerSlam marks a turning point for The judgment day The night began with a shocking betrayal as Dominic Mysterio turned against his “mom” Rhea Ripley in the opener in favor of Liv Morgan. This betrayal is an important moment that marks the end of the old Judgment Day dynamic and the beginning of something new.
Surprises continue as Finn Balor betrays Damian Priest During the World Heavyweight Championship. Balor’s actions cost Priest the title, which was subsequently taken away by Lord of the Ring champion Gunther. These events not only ended previous iterations of the faction, but also set the stage for new alliances and rivalries within WWE.
On the next episode of Raw, the new group consisting of Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh and Carlito officially rebranded themselves as the “new” Judgment Day. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest have transitioned into babyface roles, positioning themselves as the new group’s antagonists.
Reports emerged earlier this week that Judgment Day members were emotional and reflective backstage at SummerSlam as they prepare for the faction’s split. The recently released WWE photo gallery perfectly reflects this feeling. There’s a touching shot of Rhea Ripley sobbing in the background and being comforted by Damian Priest as they come to terms with the end of their adventure as a team.
These behind-the-scenes images add depth to the story, highlighting the genuine emotion as the faction divides and the close relationships that form between members.
Liv Morgan may not hold the women’s world title for long
Liv Morgan Most recently, Rhea Ripley captured the Women’s World Championship after being forced to vacate the title due to injuries suffered in a fight with Morgan. Liv then solidified her position by defeating Betsy Lynch. Despite Morgan’s success, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. predicted that Morgan’s reign would be short-lived, with Ripley expected to regain the title soon. Although Morgan now has the support of Judgment Day, giving her a numerical advantage, Ripley and Damian Priest have shown they are determined to exact revenge on former faction members.
