WWE are loving what Judgement Day are doing right now.
The dominant heel faction is on its way to being one of the most formidable in all of WWE with The Bloodline slowly breaking before our eyes. Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley all find themselves in prominent positions on the Monday Night RAW brand.
Fightful Select now reports some updates on all four members of the faction and how WWE are thrilled with each members progress.
. Fightful was even told Edge himself recognized that Judgment Day was better suited in this iteration than the original plans had outlined.
The higher up spoke highly of each member, saying that Finn Balor has been “very easy” for WWE to work with throughout this process and has molded to a variety of roles that the company has needed him in over the last year in Judgment Day.
Rhea Ripley was put over heavily for working through her knee issues that she’s spoken about in the past. However, her willingness to improve and help get everyone else over by contributing as a manager was also highlighted. Another longtime WWE staffer said it would have been easy for her to just be concerned about her creative surrounding the title. We’ve also heard that there are situations where she was supposed to dominate and was happy to give her opponent more offense.
Damian Priest’s work ethic was praised, and especially his work with Bad Bunny. Originally there was a tag team match set for that show, and WWE sources told us that everyone felt comfortable enough with Bad Bunny in the ring for their WWE Backlash match.
Dominik Mysterio received praise for his advanced schedule, which has seen him do a lot of media obligations with the success of his new character. Beyond that, we’re told WWE has been putting Dominik in a variety of situations and against a variety of opponents in the ring in order to get him used to a variety of styles and opponents.

We will have to wait and see what comes next for the faction after Money In The Bank, but it is shaping up to be the summer of the Judgement Day more and more every day.
