The top WWE faction, The Judgment Day, encountered a setback on Monday Night RAW as Rhea Ripley suffered an unexpected injury. Additionally, Dominik Mysterio’s recent mishap during a match against Andrade on April 15th raised concerns, sparking rumors of potential surgery.
Initially, reports surfaced, citing Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer, suggesting that Dominik would undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his UCL. However, Dominik Mysterio dispelled these rumors, reassuring fans via social media that surgery was not in his plans.
In response to Rhea Ripley’s injury, fans speculate about the future of The Judgment Day, especially given the faction’s existing internal tensions. Despite World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest’s claim of self-sufficiency on WWE RAW, the unity within the group remains uncertain.
Reflecting on her on-screen romantic relationship with Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley discussed their storyline dynamics, which evolved from their alliance against Rey Mysterio and Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland in September 2022. This partnership, often compared to a modern-day Edge and Lita, intertwines personal and professional elements.

Interestingly, Rhea Ripley’s real-life fiancé, Buddy Matthews, was previously involved in a storyline with Dominik’s sister, Aalyah, highlighting the complexities of on-screen and off-screen relationships in the wrestling world.
Rhea Ripley’s injury forced her to relinquish the Women’s World Championship, a title she defended against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL. As Ripley embarks on her recovery journey, Becky Lynch’s return to RAW signals a new chapter in the women’s division, adding further intrigue to the evolving WWE.
