Rhea Ripley has been playing her character perfectly as she has upgraded her heel antics by several notches in the last few weeks. Though every member of The Judgment Day is a WWE Champion, she has tried her best to recruit more members. However, this time around she has been approaching the top-tier talents of the RAW brand.
After failing to recruit a newly drafted Jey Uso to her stable, she approached Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins. But, what is Rhea Ripley planning by approaching two superstars who will face each other at Crown Jewel for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Rhea Ripley is quickly turning out to be the ultimate evil boss of the RAW brand. Not only does she dominate inside the ring, but she is now cutting deals outside of the ring to gain an upper hand.
On the October 9th episode of RAW, Drew McIntyre confronted Seth Rollins for a title match, given that Rollins stayed 100% fit. Rollins accepted his request but a week later showed concerns over the genuine nature of the Scottish Warrior. Rollins even shared a picture involving Rhea Ripley and McIntyre during a backstage moment followed by unexpected assistance resulting in a victory over Sami Zayn.
But, McIntyre clarified that he is not interested in joining hands with The Judgment Day. Ripley then approached Rollins on the October 23rd episode of RAW. This time around, Ripley offered a better proposal to cover Rollins’ ailing back. She even insisted that Damian Priest would cash in his MITB contract on Roman Reigns, helping Rollins prosper in his run as a World Champion.

Is Rhea Ripley’s plan affecting Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins?
The trick seems to be working on both superstars as they were seen in a heated moment on RAW on October 16th. They clarified their association with The Judgment Day while pointing out each other failures in their career.
While McIntyre targeted Rollins with his failure to go past Roman Reigns, The Visionary did vice-versa. He finished the segment by stating that McIntyre will have no one to blame for his failures at Crown Jewel. It sets up both superstars perfectly for Ripley’s plan involving Damian Priest.
