The Judgment Day was formed in 2022 and has dominated the red brand since. The faction has seen several members join and be kicked out, including Rhea Ripley. The group underwent a major change at this year’s SummerSlam, and The Eradicator revealed her thought process right before the action went down.
Speaking on The Wrestling Classic, Rhea Ripley described the group as her family. Being part of the group helped her career tremendously and shot her up to the superstar that she is today. She started feeling comfortable going in front of a crowd as a group. Ripley felt that she could fall back on them if needed.
Shortly after the event, there were rumors that one of the members was crying backstage prior to the group splitting up. The Raw Superstar was unashamed to admit that she was the one who was bawling her eyes out, as she was very upset that day.
I’m not ashamed of it, that was me, I was upset. I was like, the last two and a half years of my life is going to be… like it’s changed now. I can’t go back to that.

Ripley was optimistic about the fact that when something great ends, it opens the door to new beginnings. She claimed that being part of The Judgment Day was the most fun she had in her career. However, that time came to an end after she was betrayed by Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam. Shortly after, her partner in crime, Damian Priest, lost the World Heavyweight Championship after being betrayed by Finn Balor.
Nia Jax reveals feeling disrespected by Rhea Ripley
Nia Jax was involved in a heated rivalry with Rhea Ripley before she was drafted to SmackDown. They faced off for the Women’s World Championship in the main event of Elimination Chamber, an event that took place in the defending champion’s home country. Furthermore, the two superstars also squared up plenty of times during house shows. However, it appears that the WWE Women’s Champion does not remember these times fondly.
Speaking with Adrian Hernandez, The Irresistible Force revealed that Ripley did not allow her to perform a Stinkface on the champion during their matches. However, Mami would not shy away from performing the same move on her. The Samoan and her extended family are highly synonymous with the Stinkface, a move popularized by Rikishi.
She went up there and she gave a full stink face to me, which I was offended. Shayna was also trying to take it from me as well. I feel the disrespect, and Rhea [Ripley] still has a stink face coming her way.

Furthermore, the 40-year-old claimed that Ripley would always try to steal the spotlight and one-up her in as many aspects as she could. If the two ever crossed paths again, Nia Jax promised that Ripley would have a Stinkface coming her way.
