A few nights ago on Raw, fans finally got to see Rhea Ripley’s long-awaited return. She spent more than 3 months away from the WWE due to an injury for which she had to vacate the title, a title that Liv Morgan now holds. Ripley had engaged in a feud with Liv Morgan before she was injured. But at the time she was out, Morgan was courting Dominik Mysterio. From the way Mami chased her away on the latest episode of Raw, she wasn’t too happy about the Morgan-Mysterio situation.
However, the return has created the perfect setting for their upcoming title match at SummerSlam. Giving Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan enough time to put together a match that already builds itself. This also gives the WWE enough time to build a stronger storyline around Judgment Day. For quite a while, we have been seeing cracks within the faction that once ran Monday Night RAW.
Dominik Mysterio is getting swooned by Morgan and will most likely turn his back on Ripley. Damian Priest seems to be overconfident in his skills and believes that he doesn’t need the faction, but it is the group that needs him instead. As for Finn Balor, it seems like he too will turn out to be a traitor. With so many possibilities of building a coup d’état, WWE has recently dropped an Easter egg that might reveal the fate of the group!

Back in 2023, Rhea Ripley was asked on social media about who the leader of Judgment Day was. Something that many fans still question till now. But they finally got their answer when Ripley revealed that the true leader is actually a fictional character. As she tweeted, ”The Llama is the leader. We follow the Dirty Llama.” However, the llama had been missing time as well for quite a while, leading fans to question if the leader had changed again. But in the latest edition of the show, the llama marked its return, as revealed by a tweet on X.

A segment on Raw showed Finn Balor and JD McDonagh playing WWE 2K24 as Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. Balor could be playing as Ripley since he has been acting suspiciously for a while and seems to be in cahoots with Morgan. So maybe Mysterio and Balor would find a way to kick out Ripley now that their leader, Dirty Llama is back.
However, all this might finally take place at SummerSlam. Balor and Mysterio might help Liv Morgan retain her title and possibly make Morgan a part of the group instead. So fans sure are waiting for the hottest show of the summer, which will be held on the night between Saturday and Sunday, August 3 and 4, at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in the city of Cleveland. Are you excited about the storyline? Let us know in the comments.
