The Judgment Day’s success continues to stack up, so we’ll see what’s up with
them.
We’ll also check out some topics with Vince McMahon, Seth Rollins, and more
Let’s start things off with everything related to The Judgment Day
Ever since bringing in Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio to the group, The Judgment Day has
been on top of WWE and remains as one of the biggest focal points of Raw
And even looking back to the beginning of 2023 to current day, it’s pretty incredible
to see everything that the group’s members have accomplished throughout the year
You had Rhea Ripley winning the Royal Rumble match from the number one spot and making
history with longest time ever in a women’s Royal Rumble match
Rhea of course topped that off by knocking off Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania 39 to
become the new women’s world champion in one of the best matches of the year so far
Then all at the same time you had Finn Balor being in the middle of his big feud with Edge
And you had Dominik Mysterio in the middle of his personal feud with his father Rey Mysterio
Damian Priest was even feuding with Bad Bunny at Backlash
So literally from the very first month of the year, big things have been happening for
The Judgment Day and they haven’t stopped at all ever since
Then Damian Priest won the Money In The Bank contract and some fans were upset because
they wanted to see LA Knight win it, but we see now why WWE went with Damian Priest to
win it
It’s because they already had an entire story and vision planned out for the contract
causing tension and being a main story within The Judgment Day, so that’s why they went
with priest
And many fans thought that’s where WWE was stopping at with The Judgment Day.
Rhea has her title, Damian has his contract, and Finn has been the number one contender
for the world title throughout a majority of the summer
But WWE just threw another curveball that nobody saw coming and that’s of course Dominik
Mysterio capturing the NXT North American championship from long time champion Wes Lee
That all went down on the July 18th edition of NXT
After some distractions and interruptions from the other Judgment Day members, Dominik
shocked everyone and scored a three count on Wes Lee for the title
And the agenda now seems to really be clear and it’s all over the reports too that The
Judgment Day is allegedly being booked and viewed as the successor to The Bloodline’s
storyline
And that definitely appears to be how they’ve been treating them all year long
This is something we lightly discussed after Damian Priest won the Money In The Bank contract
and starting having issues Finn Balor
We discussed how The Judgment Day is starting to resemble The Bloodline in terms of how
much stories they have going on at a time between all the members and how it feels like
Raw is truly ran by The Judgment Day, the same way it felt like The Bloodline ran Smackdown
during their peak
And now reports claim that that’s exactly what’s going on here.
WWE allegedly views The Judgment Day as that successor to The Bloodline and a faction that’ll
be capable of being as interesting and dynamic as The Bloodline was
Obviously, The Bloodline was something special, truly a three year long storyline that had
highlights throughout all those years
But that Bloodline story is quickly coming to an end, a lot of fans even expect Summerslam
to be the actual final chapter of the Bloodline
So if that’s true, then it looks like WWE will take everything they learned from The
Bloodline story and their time together and implement some of that into The Judgment Day’s
current direction and story
So you’ll have Rhea Ripley doing her own thing in the women’s division, Damian Priest
continuing to be a threat to all champions with that contract, Finn trying to get the
world title, and Dominik Mysterio now as the North American champion
A lot of fans have bought up the comparison to Solo Sikoa winning the North American title
after he first joined The Bloodline and how he had to relinquish the title after seven
days
A lot of fans are wondering if that means the same thing will happen to Dominik Mysterio
or not
Well going by WWE’s logic, Solo Sikoa was only forced to relinquish the title because
he wasn’t supposed to take part in that match at all within the storyline world
Solo’s title match was never officially sanctioned in NXT, so as a result of that,
he had to give it up
Dominik’s match, on the other hand, was official and was sanctioned in every way possible
beforehand
So it doesn’t seem like Dominik Mysterio will be stripped of the title like Solo was
It looks like he’ll officially be the champion and will have to be pinned to lose it
A lot of fans feel like it may be a short title reign for Dominik, while other fans
believe that maybe WWE will keep the title on him for a bit, show it off on Raw and try
to get more fans interested to see Dominik and The Judgment Day on NXT every week
So that part is very interesting, as long as Dominik is holding that title, it basically
means that he’ll have to work double duty full time
He has to be at Raw every Monday, and NXT on Tuesdays
So Dominik now being a champion adds a lot to the dynamic of the group because now all
of a sudden, Finn Balor is the odd one out with nothing truly in his possession
So that itself has fans wondering if they’ll really go all the way in with The Judgment
Day and have Finn Balor win the world heavyweight title from Seth Rollins to truly top off his
takeover from the faction
If Finn captures the world title and every Judgment Day member has something huge in
their possession, that’s gonna make The Judgment Day rise up the rankings of WWE factions
But if WWE was to do that, it looks like The Judgment Day’s main story will be Finn Balor
basically having to look over his shoulder as champion because his long time Judgment
Day partner is also his biggest threat with that Money In The Bank contract
And that’s a very interesting element there that we never seen before.
We never seen the champion and contract holder be together in a faction at the same time,
so it definitely would be intriguing to see how that plays out and what would ultimately
happen to the group if Damian was to ever cash in on Finn Balor and if the group could
survive a moment like that, most likely not
But that’s the latest for The Judgment Day, expect them to continue to be huge parts of
Raw and possibly NXT going forward

Seth Rollins WWE theme song has turned into one of the biggest hits with the fans
They sing it during his entrance, his matches, his promos… they even sing it when they’re
all walking out of arenas, that’s how catchy and how much of a hit it is with them
Well Seth Rollins was recently a guest on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast and revealed
that there was originally even more singing in the original version of his current theme,
but how it was removed and cut out by Vince McMahon, who wasn’t really feeling it
Seth Rollins had this to say about Vince McMahon trimming parts of his theme song out, quote:
“so we did it in Raymond James [Stadium].
Did the song, and when I was putting the song together, I kind of had a vision of what I
wanted people to do.
When we first put that song out, Vince McMahon was actually, he was just hearing it for the
first or second time, he actually took a set of the ‘whoa’s out, he didn’t get the
‘whoa’s.
He was like ‘that’s not Seth Rollins’.
I’m like ‘I’m telling you’ and he’s like ‘no no no, just trust me’.
I’m like alright fine, you’ve only been doing this for 80 years, or whatever.
He took the ‘whoa’s out, but in the back of my mind I’m like ‘just you wait’.
they never went back in.
The version you hear now is still the Vince version but there’s enough of the ‘whoa’s
that it caught on.”
End quote
So a very interesting reveal by Seth Rollins
The original version of his current theme song was supposed to be filled up even more
sets of singing throughout the song, but it was all trimmed down by Vince McMahon
But like Seth said, the few sets that Vince McMahon left sprinkled in still ended up catching
on and connecting with the crowd and continues to be one of the most popular theme songs
in pro wrestling in current day
