The Judgment Day have completed six months on WWE RAW. Edge started this faction after WrestleMania 38. At the Showcase of the Immortals, the Rated ‘R’ Superstar had a singles match against AJ Styles. Former United States Champion Damian Priest turned heel on the show and helped Edge win the match.
After WrestleMania 38, Rhea Ripley also joined this faction. The trio of Edge, Priest and Ripley tormented AJ Styles and his allies Finn Balor and Liv Morgan. They won their six-person tag team match at WWE Hell in a Cell. Soon after, Balor joined The Judgment Day and kicked out the leader Edge himself from the group.
Balor, Priest and Ripley have dominated the Red brand since then, and now, even Rey Mysterio’s son Dominik has joined them. So far, The Judgment Day have had feuds against Edge, Rey Mysterio, Beth Phoenix and AJ Styles. During their rivalry, Styles also brought back his allies Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Mia Yim also made her return to WWE to even the odds for The O.C. and neutralize the ‘Rhea’ factor against their rivals. There have been many ups and downs in the journey of Finn Balor’s group. The biggest moment was probably Dominik Mysterio’s heel turn as he turned on his father Rey and his close friend Edge.
Dominik also recorded a win against Grand Slam Champion AJ Styles after joining the faction. Now that the group has completed six months with Finn Balor as their leader in WWE, here’s how fans on Twitter feel about them:
Are we even sure Finn is leader? It feels like Rhea is the leader which is fine, it's different but other than that idk it's just meh to me

Would've loved to have seen Edge's version of this pan out but I'd say it worked itself out https://t.co/SJ7J35nbyO

Tired of it. They’ve done nothing but annoy me this whole time. Never going for titles or anything. They were mid and now they’re worse with Sub. 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/4rzNBgTxL5

While you could argue that Rhea and Priest may have been champs rn if they were still under Edge, they seem to be having more fun than ever now (possibly thanks to Hunter)
Though I still think Rhea's the leader as Michael Cole has said it himself https://t.co/lAvalXz9Dg

What’s next for The Judgment Day in WWE?
WWE’s premium live events of 2022 have ended. The next show is WWE Royal Rumble 2023. With three men and one woman present in their group, The Judgment Day will be keen to win both the 30-person matches.
It will be interesting to see if Triple H pushes them to the moon over the next few days. They have the momentum by their side now.
