Rhea Ripley helps Damian Priest and Jey Uso fight Judgment Day: Raw Highlights, September 2, 2024
Everyone knows the important position of the Judgment Day faction in the WWE universe and their split during SummerSlam. Ripley is believed to have played a major role in this. Known for his dominance and leadership qualities, he helped shape the faction’s direction and dynamics. Recently, he appeared on The Wrestling Classic for an interview where he talked about how being a part of the group had a huge impact on his career and personal growth.
Ripley explains that Judgment Day is more than just a wrestling faction for her; it’s a close-knit family that supports him both professionally and emotionally. The oneness he felt with the Edge, Priest Damian, Finn Balorand Dominik Mysterio let him feel confident and safe. It was at this point that he really started to open up, embrace the spotlight and show his true self in the ring. They feel like they can take risks and have fun, knowing they have a strong support system.
However, as time passed, tensions began to grow within the group. Mysterio’s betrayal during a pivotal match against Liv Morgan marked the beginning of the faction’s downfall. It only worsened when Balor’s actions led Priest to lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther. The betrayal created a rift that ultimately led to the dissolution of Judgment Day, which was a pivotal and emotional moment for Ripley.
The WWE star admitted he was deeply affected by the split and even cried backstage after news of the factional split finally broke.
“Judgment Day is really family for me. It really is. It has helped my career so much more than I can actually put into words. That’s when I started to open up and feel comfortable going out there and being in front of a lot of people. I have a son and can fall back. It’s really emotional for me. I see something about the Day of Judgment. I’m not ashamed. I can’t go back to it son and family. Really sad.”
Despite her sadness, Ripley also sees a silver lining. He admits that the end of an important phase in his life opens the door to new opportunities. Although she initially focused on the emotional impact of the breakup, she now has the opportunity to forge a new path. In her words,
“At the same time, when something very good ends, the other side will also begin. I don’t think about it because I’m very emotional. This is the most fun in my career in a long time. I feel invincible. I feel myself can go out there and be a little cheeky and get away with it, and have fun with my friends. Now, I’m really happy to spoil the Day of Judgment. people are trash.”
In a sassy twist, Ripley’s comments make it clear that she’s not only reminiscing about her past but also realizing she’s moved on and enjoying her current success.
