A buzz stirs in Connecticut as the WWE tag team scene takes center stage, setting the tone for what promises to be an eventful edition of SmackDown tonight.
In a prelude to the action-packed evening, a glimpse of The Judgment Day’s presence surfaced as they made their way to the Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio, alongside the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, were captured in an Instagram post shared by WWE, igniting curiosity among fans.
Accompanied by the caption
“What’s The #JudgmentDay doing here? 🤔#SmackDown,”
the post teased the anticipation surrounding their appearance on the blue brand.
The momentum builds as Finn Balor and Damian Priest of The Judgment Day gear up to defend their Undisputed Tag Team Championship in a high-stakes Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania XL.
Adding to the intrigue, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory are slated to clash with The Street Profits in a qualifying match during tonight’s SmackDown, vying for a coveted spot in the aforementioned Ladder Match.
Meanwhile, the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, braces herself for a showdown against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL, following Lynch’s triumph in the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match last month.
In the midst of the excitement, veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter weighs in on the potential trajectory of Dominik Mysterio within The Judgment Day faction.
Reflecting on recent events, including Mysterio’s confrontation with Rey Mysterio and Rhea Ripley’s response to his challenge on WWE RAW, Apter speculates on the possibility of Mysterio departing from The Judgment Day and aligning himself with a different faction on SmackDown, perhaps embracing a villainous persona.
As speculation brews, attention also turns to Damian Priest, the victor of the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in July 2023.
With the looming WrestleMania XL on the horizon, the question arises whether Priest will seize the opportunity to cash in his contract for a title shot at the grand event in Philadelphia, adding another layer of intrigue to an already electrifying WWE.
