We just saw one of the biggest plot twists with The Judgment Day, so we’ll get into
all the pros and cons of what went down with them.
We’ll also see the big teaser for Maryse, what’s up with Becky Lynch, and much more
Let’s start things off with Becky Lynch
So Becky’s arc over the last three years was being this unstoppable force of a champion
that was impossible for anyone to even come close to knocking off the top
But Becky’s arc has changed drastically following her loss to Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania
38
From top of the mountain to basically the bottom of the mountain and back of the line
Becky even addressed this on the mic a few times, alluding to the fact that she has lost
everything and has hit rock bottom
Becky was having some bad luck, but managed to find a way to sneak herself into the Raw
women’s title match at Hell In A Cell, and Becky’s attitude started to change
Becky started being more optimistic about her chances to regain the Raw women’s title
at Hell In A Cell and got pretty close as well
Becky Lynch had Aus-ka knocked out in the middle of the ring, about to cleanly win the
title back, but Bianca Belair tossed becky out and picked up the win over Aus-ka herself
Becky was left absolutely shocked and surprised outside of the ring
So even though Becky Lynch was protected in terms of not taking another actual pin-fall
loss at the hands of Bianca Belair, it was still another embarrassing moment for Becky’s
character
She was so close, but Bianca belair was just a few steps ahead of Becky Lynch
That Hell In A Cell finish also seems like clear set-up for another one-on-one meeting
between Bianca and Becky
Even though they were in the same title match, they didn’t get to pin each other, so that
leaves the door open for the both of them to have another match at a big event like
Summerslam
Reports claimed that WWE originally wanted to keep Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch away
from each other after Wrestlemania 38 until it was time for them to have that rematch
Unfortunately for them, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair had to slightly cross paths earlier
than expected at Hell In a Cell because of the Sasha and Naomi walk out
Becky’s story and desperation to get back to the top continued on Raw
Becky was facing off against Dana Brooke, but after the 24/7 title interrupted the match,
becky made it known that she should be the only one winning titles here, so Becky Lynch
legitimately asked for a title match for the 24/7 title
Becky Lynch being involved in a 24/7 title segment and even requesting for that title
match herself was one of those bizarre moments no one could predict
Aus-ka would later come out and hold Becky’s legs down, assisting Dana Brooke in getting
the win over Becky Lynch to retain the 24/7 title
A lot of fans had mixed reactions about Becky Lynch taking part in a 24/7 title match
Some fans thought it was ridiculous and that big stars should stay as far away as possible
from that comedic joke of a championship
But other fans thought that the moment did fit where Becky is at right now as a character
she’s desperate, she’s probably well aware that the title is a joke, but she is probably
at the point where she figures: “hey, a title is a title” and that’s she decided
to go for it
Becky obviously didn’t end up winning the 24/7 title and the whole moment was just meant
to push her story forward with Aus-ka
So it looks like Becky Lynch versus Aus-ka is back on
This was supposed to be a singles feud in the women’s division, but it was out on
pause after WWE was forced to include Becky and Aus-ka into the title match at Hell In
A Cell
But since that’s over and Bianca is moving onto Rhea Ripley, it looks like Becky and
Aus-ka are clear to officially start their feud backup
So that’s the latest on Becky Lynch, we’ll have to see where he story goes next
—————————-
Maryse made her big return to Raw this week for a great interaction with her husband,
The Miz, and Riddle
Maryse’s last full WWE run came earlier this year where she and The Miz took on Beth
Phoenix and Edge
So Maryse is considered to be one of those special attraction superstars
She’s not around full time, all year around, but she’ll pop up every now and then to
get involved with what’s going on with The Miz
This return seemed to just be related to her promoting the new season of Miz and Misses,
so that might’ve been a one-off appearance or maybe she does stick around for Summer,
we’ll have to see
The Miz and Maryse did drop a big teaser for their immediate future when speaking with
TV Insider
The Miz was talking about everything Money In The Bank related and all the success he’s
had with the contract over the years
And he even alluded to the idea of Maryse entering the women’s money in the bank match
and how the both of them could be the first ever legitimate couple to win the Money In
The Bank contracts
And what The Miz brought up their would be history, we‘ve never seen a real life couple
win both money in the bank contracts on the same night, so it would be a massive accomplishment
for The Miz and Maryse or any other couple that attempts it in the future
——————-
Now let’s get into everything related to the twist with Judgment Day
Judgment Day was formed by Edge and Damian Priest the night after Wrestlemania 38 in
early April, just over 60 days ago
Then on May 8th, Rhea Ripley gets introduced as a new member of the group
June 5th, The Judgment Day has their first match as a trio and has an impressive win
over Finn Balor, Liv Morgan, and AJ Styles
The very next night, Edge and Judgment Day are no more
So how did this happened and what’s explanation?
It was revealed at the start of the show that Judgment Day would reveal a new member and
they showed the graphic with a countdown clock so fans knew exactly when to tune in
Edge mentioned how proud he is of Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley before introducing the latest
member, Finn Balor
Finn has been rumored to join Judgment Day for several weeks now, but the fashion in
which they made the reveal was pretty strange at first
Less than 24 hours before Raw, Finn Balor was facing Judgment Day and didn’t turn
on his team or anything, but the very next night on Raw, he’s introduced as the new
member without even having that true heel turning moment
Judgment Day’s entire recruitment of Finn Balor happened off-screen, so his introduction
was very weird at first, but then we get the reveal why it was done like that
Finn’s true heel turning moment was the attack on Edge himself
Damian Priest says that they had to get rid of everything that was in there way starting
with Edge
Edge looks shocked and the three of them brutally attack him and take him out
Judgment Day now consists of Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest… with the creator
Edge being kicked out only after 60 days
A lot of fans feel like it was a very genuine shocking moment that nobody legitimately saw
coming and that is true, everyone had the same reaction because no one expected this
to happen
No one expected it because Edge just started the group, they literally haven’t accomplished
anything and they’re already broken up
Fans speculate that Cody Rhodes’ injury is what led to the sudden end of Edge’s
run in the Judgment Day
Raw needs a new massive babyface with Cody Rhodes being gone and Edge is the biggest
name to fill that void
It was a great shocking moment, no doubt about it, it’s just so unfortunate because it
feels like we didn’t even touch the surface to what Edge’s Judgment Day could’ve been
and where they were going to
Edge’s interesting heel turn just cut off so suddenly and now he’ll likely revert
back to his babyface self
Story wise, it’s a bit strange too because Edge hasn’t given any real reason or motive
for Rhea and Damian to turn on him
All he’s done is elevate Damian Priest since April and Rhea Ripley just got to the group
two weeks ago, what could she possibly be angry about already?
So in reality, needing someone to fill Cody’s babyface position is understandable, Edge
is a great choice for that, but strictly story wise, it was way too premature and there was
no story there for this betrayal to even make sense
So we’ll see how that turns out for Judgment Day, but what are your thoughts on today’s
stories?
