This week, what WWE had been touting as the greatest NXT episode of all time, featured a match between Ilja Dragunov and Dominik Mysterio. During the match, Rhea Ripley was in the corner of her Latino Heat. However, there came a moment when Ripley was left slightly flustered after NXT superstar Trick Williams caught her in his arms.

In the latest edition of NXT, Cody Rhodes made it official that Ilja Dragunov will put his NXT Championship on the line against Dominik Mysterio. The two champions clashed with each other, with LA Knight serving as a special guest referee. While initially, The Mad Dragon annexed most of the match with his technical skills, Mami’s constant interference gave Dominik a momentary edge.

The match soon descended into chaos after Finn Balor and JD McDonagh came to assist Dom. Knight had to take matters into his own hands to prevent Judgment Day’s interference. Taking advantage of the situation, Ripley tried to hit Dragunov with her title. However, Trick Williams came out of nowhere and caught her in his arms. Watch the video below.

The Women’s World Champion was caught off guard when she realized it was Trick who grabbed her by the arms. Despite several distractions from the heel stable, Ilja Dragunov successfully retained his NXT Championship after delivering a deadly Torpedo Moscow on Mysterio.

Rhea Ripley says she wants The Judgment Day to sustain for as long as it can

The Judgment Day is arguably the hottest faction in WWE at the moment. The heel stable started picking up steam after The Bloodline slowly began imploding. WWE shifted its focus to the former to establish its dominance all over WWE. Recently, in an interview, Rhea Ripley stated that she wants her faction to be an unstoppable force in WWE for a longer period.

Speaking in an interview with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat via Fightful, Ripley said, “I really want it to go for as long as it can go. I’m loving every single minute of work when the boys are there, I think that we could really drag it out and have it go for a long time. I really wanna see it progress and grow and if we get new members, we get new members, but I wanna see the Judgment Day become this massive faction within the WWE that is so unstoppable and I think we can accomplish that.”

Furthermore, she stated that Judgment Day gets along with each other so well despite their varied cultural backgrounds. Ripley said that she feels strange when the boys aren’t around her. Only time will tell when WWE decides to split the heel stable. As of now, there’s been some tension building up in the group due to Balor’s association with JD McDonagh.
