Rhea Ripley Secretly Invited 33-Year-Old Star to Punish Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso on WWE SmackDown

Friday night SmackDown started with a bang with LA Knight challenging Jimmy Uso to a one-on-one match to put him in place. That was followed by Rhea Ripley introducing a fifth member to strengthen The Bloodline’s efforts against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

This addition spells further trouble for Rhodes and Uso at Fastlane.

Rhea Ripley allows JD McDonagh into The Judgment Day

The Judgment Day is already one of the most dominant factions in the WWE with all its members holding gold. But ‘Mami’ just called in some reinforcements ahead of Damian Priest and Finn Bálor’s tag team title defense at Fastlane.

As The Judgement Day walked into the packed Enterprise Center in St. Louis, JD McDonagh tried to join in. After initial resistance from ‘Senor Money In The Bank’ Damian Priest, Ripley gave the nod for McDonagh to join the group.

McDonagh has been proving his loyalty for quite some time to The Judgement Day and his efforts finally seemed to bear fruit. He recently helped ‘Dirty’ Dom clinch the NXT North American Championship from Trick Williams. This must be one of the reasons ‘Mami’ allowed McDonagh’s initiation into the group.

But sadly McDonagh had a really bad ending to what should have been a really special night.

JD McDonagh was left all alone to bear the brunt of John Cena and Co

Post LA Knight and Jimmy Uso’s match, The Judgement Day appeared and ‘Mami’ shook hands with Paul Heyman to approve the unholy alliance of the two villainous factions. Then ‘Mami’ ordered her boys to go attack Cena and Knight.

But Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso came to their rescue and what ensued was a full on brawl in the ring. Eventually JD McDonagh was left in the middle of the ring and John Cena and Co removed all their frustration on him.

From Knight’ s Blunt Force Trauma to Rhodes Cross Rhodes and finally Cena’s Attitude Adjustment, McDonagh had to go through them all. Maybe he should have chosen another day to join The Judgment Day. But do you guys feel that ‘Mami’ did the right thing by allowing McDonagh into The Judgement day?
