This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW started out with an explosion with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler brawling. Despite having a match to kick off the show, all hell broke loose with the surprise return of Rhea Ripley. Even Raquel Rodriguez came out to take a piece of Jax. Once the ring was cleared out came The Judgment Day to stand with Ripley. However, Ripley had some harsh things to say to her teammates.
Ripley has always been the voice of reason and brains behind The Judgment Day. During her absence, another member was left in charge, and Ripley was not happy with the way things were handled during that time.

While Ripley was taken out by Jax two weeks ago, Priest was left in charge of The Judgment Day. “I gave that responsibility to someone else. And they disappointed me. I left that responsibility to you, Priest. I go, and you can’t handle the job?” Ripley said. She claimed that in her absence, Priest could not handle the job. Finn Balor was out injured, while Priest was not medically cleared to compete.

She also blamed Priest for Dominik Mysterio losing his NXT North American title to Trick Williams at NXT No Mercy. Ripley claimed that Priest wasn’t there to help Dom despite being told to do so by Ripley herself.

This showed the heated tension between the members. However, Priest laid the blame off himself onto Dom. Despite claiming that they won’t break up, the cracks are real.

Ripley’s absence took a heavy toll on the group
As mentioned by Ripley, her absence as the brain of the group took a major toll. Finn Balor was left injured during their last encounter with Cody Rhodes and Co. After the brutal assault on Priest, he still competed in last week’s main event. This worsened his injuries, and he wasn’t cleared to perform tonight.
According to Ripley, Priest was also tasked to help Dom keep his NXT title, which he failed to do. This tension between the members is exactly what Ripley was talking about and why people don’t fear them anymore.
