The wrestling world is buzzing after an explosive SummerSlam left The Judgment Day in shambles, with Damien Priest and Rhea Ripley betrayed by Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio. Questions about the faction’s future swirled, but Monday’s edition of WWE Raw provided all the answers. Finn Balor made it clear: The Judgment Day is back with a vengeance and a brand-new lineup.
The New Order
Sitting alongside Balor were Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Carlito, and WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. Yes, you read that right—Liv Morgan has jumped ship and is now part of this dark and dangerous crew.
Priest’s Heartfelt Address
During Raw’s first commercial-free hour, Priest took the microphone to vent his frustration. His 118-day reign with the World Heavyweight Championship was ended by Balor’s interference, and Priest was out for blood. Failing to lure Balor into the ring for a confrontation, Priest made a bold move, declaring the Baltimore crowd—and the WWE Universe—his new “family,” officially cementing his babyface turn.
Balor’s Menacing Reply
Balor responded to Priest’s call, but not in person. Instead, he appeared via livestream, adding a sinister touch to the proceedings. Balor ridiculed Priest, calling him a “loser from the streets,” and refused the match challenge. Instead, he offered JD McDonagh as Priest’s opponent, declaring he would wait until Priest was “comfortable” before striking.
“When your back is turned, I’ll be there to stab you in it, again and again and again,” Balor promised. “And it won’t just be me, we all will.”
A New Judgment Day
The livestream then panned out to reveal the new Judgment Day. In place of Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan stood next to Dominik, exchanging intimate glances. This revelation left Priest fuming, and he stormed towards the back in a rage.
The Battle Begins
Later that night, McDonagh and Priest faced off in the ring. However, the match ended in chaos as Balor and the new Judgment Day interfered, leading to a disqualification. The brawl was cut short by an enraged Rhea Ripley, who charged into the ring and embraced Priest after scattering their former allies.
