The WWE Universe has been abuzz with speculation about the potential implosion of The Judgment Day since Rhea Ripley’s departure. Recent events, particularly Damian Priest’s World Heavyweight Championship win and his subsequent behavior towards his group members, have only added fuel to the fire. The tension simmering beneath the surface has reached a boiling point, and all signs point to an impending betrayal that could shake the very foundations of The Judgment Day.
One of the most significant indicators of an imminent implosion is the brief altercation between Damian Priest and Finn Balor at Backlash France. The World Heavyweight Champion intervened to stop Balor and JD McDonagh from attacking Jey Uso, but not before a tense standoff that hinted at deeper issues between the two Judgment Day members. The way Balor stared at Priest, his hands raised in a subtle challenge, spoke volumes about the simmering tension between them.
Furthermore, Priest’s leadership style has been a point of contention within the group. Since Rhea Ripley’s departure, he has taken it upon himself to lead The Judgment Day, but his approach has been met with resistance from Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Priest has frequently dismissed their ideas and plans, which has led to feelings of disrespect and resentment brewing beneath the surface.
The dynamics within the group have become increasingly complicated, with allegiances and loyalties being called into question. JD McDonagh’s loyalty, in particular, appears to lie with Finn Balor, while Dominik Mysterio’s inability to compete due to injury has raised questions about his role in the group. The possibility of a secret romance between Dominik and Liv Morgan could further complicate the situation and lead to a rift within the group.
The recent apology from Damian Priest to Finn Balor and JD McDonagh can be seen as a desperate attempt to paper over the cracks, but it may be too little, too late. The seeds of distrust have been sown, and it’s only a matter of time before the group implodes. Finn Balor, in particular, has been eyeing the World Heavyweight Championship, and a betrayal could be the catalyst for a massive title feud between him and Priest.
As the tension builds, it’s becoming increasingly clear that The Judgment Day’s days are numbered. With the creative team expertly weaving a complex web of storylines and alliances, it’s only a matter of time before the group implodes, leaving only one question: who will be the one to betray Damian Priest first?
