The Judgment Day is on a roll at the moment. Two of their four members currently possess a championship belt and the third owns the prestigious Money In The Bank briefcase that allows him to cash it in on any championship without prior notice. The fourth member will face Seth Rollins with the latter’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Yet, Rhea Ripley, one of the Judgment Day quartets, is not happy.
Recently the superstar took to X, erstwhile Twitter, to share her feelings about the upcoming SummerSlam PLE.

Several WWE superstars will be showcasing their skills at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on August 5 as WWE will host its annual SummerSlam event. But Rhea Ripley is one among those not named for the marquee show.
This has left the Australian pro wrestler annoyed with the promotion. More so, WWE used her to promote the event, despite not giving her a match. The Stamford-based company tweeted an article wherein Ripley gives the fans a behind-the-scenes look at her SummerSlam glam.
Taking a jibe at the post, Ripley tweeted, “*SummerSlam media appearance look* for reasons we all know of.” This clearly was a not-so-subtle way of showing her dissent. Ever since joining The Judgment Day in May 2022, her stock in the company has risen. She is now the Women’s World Champion and one of the two members of the stable with a championship- the other being Dominik Mysterio, who holds the NXT North American Championship.

While Ripley hasn’t been announced for the PLE, she is likely to be ringside during Finn Balor’s grudge match against Rollins. The other member who would be looking forward to this bout would be Mr. Money In The Bank Damian Priest.
The Puerto Rican wrestler would look to cash in on the champion, as he has tried a few times already in the past.
Meanwhile, do you know who the other wrestlers are at SummerSlam? Here’s a detailed list.
Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, LA Knight, possible highlight of the show
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso would battle it out in possibly the biggest match of the PLE. The winner will not only get the bragging rights but will also become the Tribal Chief. If Reigns wins, he manages to retain his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the title of the Tribal Chief. If he loses this Tribal Combat, Jey Uso takes it all from him.
LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura, Tommaso Ciampa, Chad Gable, Otis, and Sheamus will battle it out in a ‘Battle Royal’ at SummerSlam.
