The Judgment Day completely died for me when Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley left, and it has been floundering, stale, and chilly ever since. Properly, possibly that is a lie, I assumed the Priest/Ripley vs. Dominik Mysterio/Liv Morgan tag crew match was fairly good, however even that did not embrace the remainder of the Judgment Day, and I did not actually think about it a Judgment Day storyline. Which might therein be the issue, the faction is not precisely working collectively anymore, anyway. The faction is all however fractured. Morgan, Mysterio, and Raquel Rodriguez are principally in a storyline all of their very own, they usually’re solely seen collectively of their “clubhouse” the place Morgan offers orders to Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to give attention to the tag crew championships. Which, additionally sucks, as a result of Morgan isn’t any Ripley on the subject of being a feminine chief of the group. She’s not a dominating presence in any respect, and it feels extremely compelled.

I am additionally extraordinarily bored with Balor’s obsession with Priest. Balor must recover from the loss and give attention to attending to the World Heavyweight Championship himself, if that is what he is even after. He scolded Mysterio for not successful the match final week, and Priest shifting on to face GUNTHER, however why did not Balor intervene, or higher but, attempt to get into the match himself? None of it is sensible and I am actually bored with it.
I believe it is time for Judgment Day to finish, and the splits are fairly clear already. Mysterio, Morgan, and Rodriguez can go off in a technique, as their relationship storyline with Rodriguez as their bodyguard does not want the remainder of the faction behind it. Balor and McDonagh might stay a heel tag crew, and Carlito might lastly get one final singles run, one thing he deserves and hasn’t actually acquired since coming again to WWE.

This week’s bizarre backstage phase with the group simply felt flat, uninteresting, and had me realizing how a lot this is not working anymore. Not in a nasty means, I suppose, however a lot slightly in a boring, meaningless means. Nobody helps anybody anymore, interfering in matches and even being at ringside, as a result of all the blokes are attempting to point out they will do issues themselves. Then… why have a faction? Nobody feels necessary, outdoors of Morgan, when she remembers she has the Ladies’s World Championship to defend, so a faction is not doing anybody any favors. Judgment Day had an excellent run, as soon as it lastly acquired off the bottom, nevertheless it’s unimportant, and time to fade off into a pleasant, purple sundown.
