This week’s Monday Night Raw saw some significant moments for the upcoming arc of The Judgment Day. The highlight was the involvement of Drew McIntyre in The Judgment Day’s business. McIntyre prevented a possible Money In The Bank cash-in on Raw. Following that, Rhea Ripley was spotted having some chit-chat with The Scottish Warrior backstage.

This week on Raw, Ricochet was complaining about Shinsuke Nakamura to Adam Pearce regarding their recent interactions. However, the highlight of the segment was Ripley and McIntyre exchanging words in the background. WWE didn’t show this moment as a particular segment, as it was captured in the background during Ricochet’s exchange with Pears.

This could be a subtle hint towards a possible alignment between Drew McIntyre and The Judgment Day. The Scottish Warrior has been teasing his potential heel turn for quite some time. This conversation with Rhea Ripley might be a direction towards the former WWE Champion, finally switching sides and going against the fans.

Drew McIntyre prevented Damian Priest’s cash-in this week on Raw, which enraged The Judgment Day. Apart from that, he challenged Seth Rollins for a match at Crown Jewel for the World Heavyweight Championship. The upcoming premium live event could be the stage where WWE finally sets up McIntyre’s potential heel turn.

Rhea Ripley takes a shot at Roman Reigns after Fastlane

WWE Fastlane was a successful premium live event for WWE. The incredible show delivered some of the spectacular moments of the year. However, one of the most hilarious scenes was of Paul Heyman doing a commentary on The Bloodline’s match for Roman Reigns.

As a result, Rhea Ripley took a shot at Paul Heyman, sending timely updates to Roman Reigns about the match. The Eradicator posted, “Does @WWERomanReigns not have a @peacock account? @TKOGrp, Can you hook the “Tribal Chief” up?” Ripley hilariously asked whether the Tribal Chief had a Peacock subscription and urged TKO Group Holdings to help him out with this.

Rhea Ripley has been showing constant involvement with The Bloodline lately. Ripley, along with The Judgment Day, went to SmackDown last week to negotiate a deal with Paul Heyman. It will be interesting to see how things shape up for both factions on the main roster.
