The WWE universe was recently abuzz with the news that Carlito, the former US Champion, is looking to join The Judgment Day, a faction led by Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio. While Dominik has been actively recruiting new members, including Jey Uso, Andrade, and Santos Escobar, the question remains whether Carlito’s intentions are genuine or if he is merely looking to further his own interests.
As Rhea Ripley, the de facto leader of The Judgment Day, is currently absent due to an injury, any major decisions, including the potential recruitment of Carlito, should be made in consultation with her. Moreover, Priest, the top star of the faction, should also have a say in the matter, considering his past experiences with Carlito.
One of the primary concerns is Carlito’s history of betraying his allies. His signature move, the Backstabber, is a testament to his willingness to turn on those who have trusted him. Given his past behavior, it is essential for The Judgment Day to approach his bid with caution. Priest, in particular, has been vocal about his mistrust of Carlito, citing their past encounters as a reason for his skepticism.
Furthermore, Dominik’s past attempts to recruit new members have often been driven by personal vendettas, particularly his feud with his father, Rey Mysterio. This blurs the lines between Judgment Day business and personal feuds, which could lead to cracks in the foundation of the group. The Judgment Day should be wary of repeating the same mistakes by allowing personal animosity to cloud their judgment.
The decision to accept Carlito into The Judgment Day should not be taken lightly. With Priest’s proven track record of being right about potential recruits, his concerns about Carlito’s intentions should be taken seriously. As the WWE universe waits with bated breath to see if Carlito will indeed join The Judgment Day, one thing is certain – the consequences of this decision could have far-reaching implications for the faction’s dynamics and stability.
