Is a new age for The Judgement Day upon us, or just more of the same mediocrity?
Rhea Ripley finally reached the mountain top, Dominik Mysterio got spanked by his father in front of 60,000 people, and Finn Balor ate a chair to the face (still showed up on RAW a week later with 10 staples in his head but it's fine!) to end a feud that Edge didn't even need to win. Where do we go from here?

Backlash is coming up and it seems like Dominik will get to throw down with Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico which also means the feud with his father is seemingly not ending yet. I am impressed by how good Rey has been recently and the LWO look is potentially breathing some new life into some of the rest of the roster. That being said, WHEN WILL THIS FATHER AND SON FEUD END??
As of right now, I feel like Rhea is just too damn good for whatever direction The Judgement Day is heading towards. Finn as the leader has done nothing but lose for the most part. I do see potential for Damien Priest but I think he should have been someone that gets another shot at the US Championship which is currently being held hostage by Austin Theory. Currently, The Judgement Day have also been popping up on both brands, which gives me no faith that the WWE Draft coming up will really shake things up for them.
The best way to make the faction interesting in my honest opinion would be to add a new member. There also has to be an evolution of where things go for Damien Priest and Finn Balor. Dominik is getting massive heel heat and it perfectly fine being the weasel of the group that can also eat pins. But this faction needs some bite back and Rhea as champion, while great for her personally, is not enough right now. Finn should be seen as a better strategist who takes his time to move chess pieces around the board. A member holding gold does help somewhat because they could use this as an opportunity to have Finn and Dominik plot against Rhea's future opponents.
I also believe that the potential brand new member becoming the group's enforcer would be great. Damien should be put into a program that builds up a solid babyface as well but also gives the guy an opportunnity to actually work. Montez Ford comes to mind, as there's still opportunity for tag matches in that match-up. Overall, besides Rhea, we are looking at a bunch of losers. A new face, maybe from the NXT side of things, might give WWE a chance to rebrand The Judgement Day as a legitimate threat. So, who might be up for that kind of transition moving forward? I'll discuss that after the WWE Draft.
