Judgment Day Might Just Have Found the Perfect Replacement for Rhea Ripley and It’s Not Liv Morgan (2024)

The Judgment Day has arguably been the most successful faction in recent memory, as the entire group has had an immense amount of success in a very short period of time. From revolutionizing the careers of Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest to establishing Rhea Ripley as an absolute megastar, this heel stable has done wonders in the WWE.

In addition to these stars, Judgment Day has also given Finn Balor the opportunity to once again shine, and JD McDonagh has also benefited from his association with the group. Moreover, almost every single member of the faction has tasted championship glory during their tenure with the group. But, despite all the great things this group has achieved over the years, it has recently started to lose its charm, and the reason is Mami’s injury.

The Eradicator has been taken out of action due to an injury after an attack by Liv Morgan, and she even had to vacate her World Heavyweight Championship. However, it seems like the stable is now ready to reach the peak of its popularity once again, as The Judgment Day might have just found the perfect replacement for Rhea Ripley, and it’s not Morgan.

The reason why the WWE Universe is feeling so is due to a recent photograph that has been going viral on social media. In the picture, Damian Priest can be seen posing for a photo with the Women’s Champion, Bayley, as the audience believes that it could be a hint of a potential association between the fan-favorite female star and the faction.

After this post grabbed the attention of the audience, fans have been wondering if the Triple H-led promotion is really thinking about adding the 34-year-old women’s performer to Priest’s stable. On the other side of things, if it’s the friendship of these two stars that is building this potential team up, it might be a great opportunity for both sides to get to the top of WWE.

Taking these aspects into account, it’s safe to say that the ongoing speculations about Bayley’s entry into the heel faction to replace Ripley have raised the interest level of fans in this storyline. If this entire theory turns into reality, it’ll be interesting to see how the stable handles Bayley’s entry into their group and also how the Friday Night SmackDown star fills the huge void left by the one and only Mami.

Liv Morgan is currently the front-runner to replace Rhea Ripley in The Judgment Day

Bayley has emerged as a potential replacement for Mami in the faction after her recent photograph with Damian Priest, but she isn’t the only candidate. In fact, Liv Morgan is currently the front-runner to replace Rhea Ripley in The Judgment Day, and her backstory makes her seem like the best possible option for the replacement of Mami’s position in this high-profile group.

The reason why Morgan is potentially the best possible superstar to take Rhea’s place is her rivalry with The Eradicator, which might benefit a lot due to this move. Also, Liv is the one who took out Ripley, and the injury she caused forced Rhea to go out of action. In addition to this, her recent involvement with Rhea’s on-screen partner, Dominik Mysterio, also favors this particular move.

The heel female star previously warned that she’s going to take everything from Rhea Ripley, and Dirty Dom might be the next thing she wants from her arch-rival. As Dominik and Morgan have also been spotted coming out of the same room backstage and having another interaction in a segment, it seems like the in-ring performer has already started doing what she promised to Rhea Ripley.

If that’s really the case, and Liv Morgan has started getting close to Mysterio, she could even be on her way to join The Judgment Day. Moreover, if she does, it’s safe to say that she’s going to replace The Eradicator in the faction, and this might take her rivalry with Mami to a level it has never been on before this move.

Rhea Ripley’s absence has resulted in internal friction between The Judgment Day

While theories about the replacement for Mami have been going on since she was taken off-screen due to her injury, the impact of her absence is already visible in the group. In fact, Rhea Ripley’s absence has resulted in internal friction between The Judgment Day members.

Even since Damian Priest won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 and Rhea went on a hiatus, things started to change within the group. Priest has frequently advised his faction mates to stay away from his matters and even instructed them not to get involved in his matches in any way.

Dirty Dom hasn’t done so in recent times, but Finn Balor and JD McDonagh have tried to do so a number of times to help Damian secure important victories. But as it was against their teammate’s will, the whole thing has taken things almost to the verge of a breakup on occasions.

Even at WWE’s recently organized Backlash premium live event in France, something similar happened. Damian Priest defeated Jey Uso on the special event after Balor and McDonagh’s interference, and he wasn’t happy about it. But what happened after he retained his title was absolutely unexpected, and it took the entire pro wrestling industry by storm.

After Priest’s win over Main Event Jey, Finn and JD tried to attack the fan-favorite star, but the World Heavyweight Champion wasn’t in favor of the same. To stop his friends from The Judgment Day from beating Jey, the 41-year-old even pushed The Demon, and it started different theories in the wrestling world.

Many believe that all this is eventually going to lead to the breakup of this faction, as Finn Balor and Damian Priest might face each other in the near future, most probably at SummerSlam 2024. But even if this thing is in plans, a replacement for Rhea Ripley seems like an essential requirement, and it remains to be seen who ends up taking her place as the female superstar in the faction.
