There’s a lot of news going on with The Judgement Day, so we’ll see what’s going
on there.
We’ll also check out some rumors with Rhea Ripley, The Bloodline, and more
Let’s start things off with everything related to The Judgment Day
A lot of fans had some doubts about The Judgment Day when the group was first starting up,
and those doubts got even deeper once Edge was removed from the group
Fans just assumed that the group wouldn’t go on for long considering how fast they lost
their original leader, but surprisingly enough to everyone, the group succeeded and even
thrived outside of Edge’s leadership
Fast forward one year later after the group’s initial creation and they’re now a center
piece for Monday Night Raw
The latest reports for The Judgment Day claims that WWE is very high on the entire group
and has been loving all of their recent work on Raw
So all four members are pleasing everyone internally right now with their amazing work
So what are the faction members up to right now?
Well Rhea Ripley has been world women’s champion since Wrestlemania 39
She’s going on three months as champion, but there is some fan criticism out there
about the title reign and how they’re just expecting a bit more from Rhea’s title reign
And that bit of criticism is understandable because there hasn’t been that many title
defenses since Rhea won the title
She defeated Zelina Vega at Puerto Rico during WWE Backlash, and that was a nice start to
her title reign, taking down the big hometown hero
But then Rhea Ripley started up this program with Natalya that really has fans scratching
their heads and wondering what’s that about
Rhea squashed Natalya in just a few seconds at Night Of Champions, and immediately after
that happened, fans just figured that it was just a dominant win over a WWE veteran for
Rhea’s title reign and how she’ll move on to defend against someone else
But then Natalya got a rematch on Raw against Rhea Ripley, which Rhea brutally attacked
Natalya within moments again
But now on the June 26th edition of Raw, it was revealed that Natalya will be getting
yet again a third match against Rhea Ripley
So a lot of fans are very confused by this trilogy of squash matches between Rhea Ripley
and Natalya
Obviously, it doesn’t seem like Natalya has any real shot of dethroning Rhea Ripley
no matter how many rematches she gets
So the only likely explanation for Natalya getting so many rematches is that the three
embarrassing losses will be used to push her character in a new direction, that’s the
only logical thing that makes sense for this real one sided feud between Rhea and Natalya
But like we talked about a few weeks back, the belief is that Rhea Ripley will still
have a very lengthy title reign that could extend all the way until Wrestlemania 40
Another thing that WWE has been doing a lot over the last few months is teasing a lot
of future feuds for Rhea Ripley
We saw them tease a feud with Bianca Belair, Raquel Rodriguez, and now they’ve once again
teased another big feud for Rhea Ripley down the line
This big feud being with Becky Lynch
This all went down on the June 26th edition of Raw
After a very impressive showing in the women’s Money In The Bank summit, Becky Lynch approached
Rhea Ripley backstage
Rhea warned Becky Lynch not to even think about cashing in on her if Becky did win the
Money In The Bank contract
Becky Lynch then made some remarks similar to what the fans have been saying, Becky says
that when she was champion, she was defending her title all the time in main event matches,
but how Rhea doesn’t defend it at all
Becky said the title needs to be back in her hands instead of Rhea’s and how the title
needs Becky Lynch
So again, this is now the third time that WWE has teased a huge blockbuster feud for
Rhea Ripley, but it’s the date of when we’ll actually see the match take place on that’s
unknown
But Becky Lynch is right and maybe her words will really leave an impact on Rhea Ripley
Rhea is supposed to be at the top of the women’s division as it’s champion and defending
against all the top contenders, not really working as a mouthpiece for Dominik Mysterio
So we’ll have to see if Becky’s words will affect Rhea’s character and if she
will start to shift and focus on herself more than helping Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment
Day
Rhea Ripley won’t defend her title at Money In The Bank, but we’re to assume that she’ll
have a big title defense at Summerslam

The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor is also in the spotlight right now with his feud against
Seth Rollins
When this feud first started a few weeks back, Finn Balor said that he had a lot on his mind
that he’s been thinking of non-stop for seven years
Finn did briefly touch on some of those things during his interactions with Seth Rollins,
but the video package from the June 26th edition of Raw perfectly painted the exact picture
of what’s been on Finn’s mind
Finn brought us back to Summerslam 2016, where he faced against Seth Rollins to determine
the first ever Universal Champion
They showed the career altering moment for Finn Balor, which was of course when Seth
Rollins threw Finn into the barricade, instantly destroying Finn’s shoulder
But like Finn pointed out in the video package, despite the torn shoulder, Finn was still
able to defeat Seth Rollins
Finn says that the 2016 version of himself is long gone and how the current version himself
is even more of a threat for Seth Rollins
Finn Balor even pointed out how Seth Rollins legitimately laughed in Finn’s face that
night after Summerslam 2016 on Raw when Finn was in an arm sling
Finn said that everything he feels right now is because of Seth Rollins and how he plans
all now taking everything away from Seth because of what he did to him
So it’s not that often where you can completely understand where the heel is coming from and
how everything he’s saying is actually perfectly justified
And that’s the case here with Finn’s presentation and argument
Finn Balor lost a year of his career, had a 22 hour long title reign, got laughed at,
and it all circles back and points to Seth Rollins
And it definitely makes the story feel rich and deep to be bringing up and talking about
moments that took seven years ago and how they’re so relevant to the current storyline
So that is a very cool element that this feud features
It’s been a great story so far and we’ll have to see if Seth Rollins is able to survive
this version of Finn Balor that’s out for revenge

In Bloodline related news, there’s apparently two finishes being heavily discussed for the
Civil War tag team match at Money In The Bank
WrestleVotes reports that there’s been two drastic endings for the tag team match that
has been discussed, but how everyone is split on the two outcomes
They even claim that The Usos and Solo Sikoa even went through a private run through session
of these outcomes last week
So as expected, the Bloodline tag team match looks like it will have an explosive finish
that will push the story in a new direction
It seems like WWE has two outcomes they really like and we’ll have to see which one they
go with at Money in The Bank itself
