The Judgment Day has been one of the toughest stables in the WWE. The group has been a force to be reckoned with. The group has established its prowess with Damian Priest leading Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley. However, issues have been troubling the group for quite some time now. On this new episode of Monday Night RAW, the cracks got even wider, with tension brewing between the members.
The group losing out on one gold belt, there is good reason for there to be tension. Also, R-Truth is not helping the situation.

Since the original team of Judgment Day was formed, there has always been tension with Priest. Be it with Balor, Dominik, or even McDonagh. Priest has always wanted the team to be on the same page; however, with Ripley being a part of it, there has always been a butting of heads.
During the backstage segment of Monday Night RAW, we got the Judgment Day. Dominik and McDonagh lost to the Creed Brothers last week. Furthermore, Dominik lost his NXT North American title to Dragon Lee on NXT. While Ripley tried not to bring it up, Priest quickly pointed it out.

This resulted in Ripley getting in Priest’s face as he said, “I’m really sick of…” Cutting Priest off, Ripley said, “Saying you are the leader is easier than being the leader.” This clearly indicates the tension between Priest and Ripley. Could this be leading to a break in the group?
This would not be the first time actions within the group have sparked speculations regarding the breakup of the stable. Back when the group was feuding with Seth Rollins, there was tension between Balor and Priest regarding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship title.

The future of the Judgment Day with R-Truth
Since his return to the WWE at Survivor Series, R-Truth has been doing multiple segments with the group. While fans do not know why the WWE has planned these segments, watching them is hilarious.
