Judgment Day just added another new member, so we’ll see what’s the latest there.
We’ll also see what’s going on with Sonya Deville being fired as a WWE official, a big
change for Lacey Evans and more
Let’s start things off with this brief but major update for Lacey Evans
Lacey Evans first left WWE back in spring of 2021 after revealing the news that she
was expecting her second child
And since she’s been cleared to compete, she’s been itching to get back to the ring
Lacey’s journey back to the ring started just over a month ago, where Smackdown started
airing some video packages and promos from Lacey Evans telling some personal stories
from her own life
Lacey’s old persona appeared to be gone and she was coming back with a strong babyface
persona that seemed to be influenced by her military background
She even appeared in front of the fans on the Smackdown before Backlash and was getting
the crowd hyped up and standing in the crowd
It was reported that all these weeks of personal back stories from Lacey Evans would lead to
this massive babyface run for her character on Smackdown
Well the latest reports now tells everyone to forget about all that, forget about the
five weeks of babyface promos, forget about her coming out on Smackdown, forget everything
you just saw about her over these last few weeks because plans have changed
PW Insider is now reporting that WWE has decided to bring Lacey Evans to Raw as a heel instead
of the previous plan
And this did tick some fans off because you wasted five weeks getting invested into Lacey’s
new babyface character and now none of that matters, it’s like if they want us to forget
that we saw that
So yes, that whole part about it is a little bit annoying, but that’s apparently the
new plans for her
Lacey will join Raw as a heel, which is great because Bianca Belair does need some more
top heels to feud with
But the big problem with Lacey coming to Raw is that it makes a weak Smackdown women’s
roster even weaker
with Raw gaining yet another big name for their women’s division and Smackdown losing
another name, this is continuing to make fans believe even more that Bayley’s return is
coming soon and most definitely happening on Smackdown
So we’ll have to see how all that continues to unfold
——————-
Another big story on Raw this week was Sonya Deville’s karma finally catching up to her
Sonya was very dismissive of Adam Pearce all night long, but when Sonya finally got in
the ring, Adam Pearce told her the news that she’s been trying to tell her all night
and that’s the fact that her contract as a WWE official is no more and how she’ll
only be an in-ring competitor going forward, and also how her first opponent was the big
returning Alexa Bliss
Alexa took out Sonya Deville in a matter of seconds and Sonya’s whole world came crashing
down at once
So this is the kind of payoff everyone expected to see for the end of Sonya and Naomi’s
story, but better late than never
So Sonya’s nearly year long reign of abusing her power, granting her advantages, title
matches, and more have finally come to an end
Sonya Deville is no longer a WWE official, but will still stick around as a regular in-ring
competitor only
A popular fan theory that’s out there right now is that Adam Pearce will get someone trust
worthy enough to replace Sonya’s spot as a WWE official
We’ve seen Drew Gulak appear in some sort of assistant role over the last few weeks,
so he’s definitely a candidate
But how about another actual woman to replace Sonya Deville?
Well it’s quite funny that all this is happening this week because Trish Stratus was just talking
about how she would gladly love to return to WWE in the GM role
She thinks it’s new, something different for her and would accept that role in a heartbeat
So that’s another great name to throw into the candidate box
Having Trish Stratus back in a WWE official role would be great, maybe she can step in
and make Sonya Deville pay for some of the evil things she’s done over the last few
months
And eventually, maybe you can even start teasing that actual return match for Trish Stratus
Maybe someone starts really pushing Trish’s buttons and that eventually leads to Trish
lacing up her boots for that big return match and opponent, maybe for someone on the level
of Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and so on
So the idea of someone stepping in and filling that role next to Adam Pearce is quite interesting
Maybe it’s a legend, like Trish Stratus, or maybe it’s a superstar who’s not really
being used right now, maybe that someone can come in and use that platform to elevate themselves
like the way Sonya Deville did
Sonya’s portrayal of this evil boss character was great because she was just pure evil and
very easy to root against
But now that the evil boss element has been removed from her character, what will her
direction be now?
Well one route is easily the revenge route.
Maybe everyone that Sonya has wrong over the last year can now step up to her since she
can’t hide behind that WWE official jacket anymore
So maybe that’s a story they’ll play with for a while, maybe some people do come back
for revenge on Sonya, or maybe she does something else with Alexa Bliss, we’ll have to wait
on that

The Judgment Day came back out on Raw this week even stronger than before with their
latest member, Rhea Ripley
Edge even came out with a whole new look, his iconic long hair was chopped off
Edge talks about the potential he saw on Rhea Ripley, how she was a juggernaut that was
taking things slowly when she should be running through things at full speed
One of Edge’s final lines was that Judgment Day was still looking for more new members,
he was then Interrupted by Liv Morgan
What’s great about Judgment Day at this current moment of time is that they all have
their own rival
Edge is feuding with AJ Styles, Damian Priest is feuding with Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley
is feuding with Liv Morgan
So it’s not like one or two members are just standing around doing nothing behind
Edge, that’s the not the case at all
They’re all one unit, but they each have their own rival that they’re all dealing
with at the moment, so that’s great
Even though it’s a strong faction like this with these three members, like we mentioned
before, Edge made it clear that he’s still looking for more people who fit in that same
category as Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley
Superstars who are extremely well gifted but not using their full capabilities, that’s
what they’re looking for, so anyone that falls under that umbrella is a prime candidate
for Judgment Day
Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were always the mentioned names for Edge’s faction,
but no other names were reported ever since
A lot of fans are suspicious of Finn Balor though.
He’s actively trying to help AJ Styles with Judgment Day, but will Finn reach a breaking
point where he eventually gives in and decides to join Edge because he pretty much fits into
that same description perfectly
Finn is truly gifted, but maybe he needs Judgment Day to put him over the top, maybe that’s
what will go through his mind eventually
So it was a very exciting episode of Raw this week that pushed a lot of stories forward,
so we’ll have to continue to see what happens with Judgment Day, Sonya Deville, and Lacey
Evans
