As Judgment Day approaches its two-year milestone during this WrestleMania season, the faction stands out for its dominance in recent years, boasting numerous championship accomplishments. Rhea Ripley, a prominent member of Judgment Day, has already expressed her enthusiasm for the impending celebration of this significant occasion.
Responding to a post recognizing Judgment Day’s impending second anniversary, Rhea Ripley, known as “Mami” within the faction, shared her excitement with a simple yet expressive blue heart emoji. In 2022, Judgment Day burst onto the WWE scene, led by Edge, Damian Priest, and later, Rhea Ripley.

Despite individual challenges, Judgment Day’s collective success, including capturing the Raw Tag Team Championship, showcased their dominance across WWE.
The quest for gold and unexpected twists characterized Judgment Day’s journey. Priest also won the Money in the Bank this year. From Priest and Balor’s tag team turmoil victory to Ripley’s Rumble triumph, the faction encountered challenges such as Priest’s U.S. title setback and Bálor’s clash with Edge. Despite individual hurdles, Judgment Day’s collective triumphs underscored their impact across WWE, establishing them as a formidable force in the unpredictable world of professional wrestling.
