World Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley has been at the top of the women’s roster for quite a while now. The undeclared leader of The Judgment Day is one of the biggest tractions for WWE in general. The Eradicator is on a different level right now, so the forceful inclusion of R-Truth in the faction is disliked by her. A reply on X solidifies the thinking and disgruntles a graphic of Truth being in the faction.

In the video presented by Truth on Raw this week, he hilariously stated his childhood dream to join the stable. The absolute end of the video showed a graphic where a purple circle shows Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Ripley, with Truth in the very front. The idea of Live, Laugh, Love being The Judgment Day’s motive was added to the graphic, along with the caption of WWE’s post displaying it. Rhea has reacted to that post with a nauseated emoji, showing her annoyance over what’s happening.

The idea of Truth joining the factions is not acceptable for Rhea, for which she has spoken out multiple times. But the 51-year-old, on the other hand, considers himself a part of it, while replacing JD McDonagh from the mix. Priest is someone who is not quite opposing Truth and looks to have enjoyed his hilarious acts over the previous weeks.

The video showed the former 24/7 champion with the faction, showing off the fact that they were all draped in gold with a photoshopped picture of his championship. The rest of the pictures, with his background narration showing his participation in their huge moments, were extremely amusing of him.

WWE Universe is treating Rhea Ripley like a massive babyface

The Eradicator Rhea Ripley is one of the most dominant stars in WWE. Her deadly aura adds to her persona and hypes up fans around the world. Her leading The Judgment Day also adds to the effect she has on the WWE Universe and gets glorified with her World Women’s Championship.

A pinch of her treatment was seen on Raw this week as the Portland crowd bestowed massive pops. Her interruption on Nia Jax‘s promo was something that the fans loved and showed their love for Ripley. Even after being the topmost women’s heel star on Raw, she received the loudest of cheers in Portland.

Wrestling News then took on X to ask whether Ripley deserves a babyface turn or not. The tweener attitude of Rhea is helping her out for now. But as time progresses, her involvement in the heel storylines would be something that fans would not expect from her. A face turn does not suit her in the current scenario although coming times might shape her up for the unexpected shift.
