The Judgment Day, a faction replete with talented wrestlers, has been beset by turmoil of late, with internal strife threatening to tear the group asunder. According to reports, plans for last week’s SmackDown episode underwent a sudden and drastic overhaul, with multiple changes to the card.
The primary cause of the upheaval was the unavailability of Damian Priest, who was scheduled to defend his title against Jey Uso in a match that would have taken place after the show went off the air. However, due to delays with his flights, Priest was unable to make it to the event, prompting a hasty reorganization of the card.
Finn Balor, another member of the Judgment Day faction, found himself facing a similar predicament, with his tag team title match against Awesome Truth being put in jeopardy due to his own flight delays. As a result, WWE was forced to make some last-minute substitutions.
In a dramatic twist, Balor was thrust into the role of replacing Priest in the matchup against Uso, while the tag team match against Awesome Truth was reconfigured, with Pretty Deadly stepping in to compete alongside Balor against the reigning champions.

The uncertainties surrounding the Judgment Day’s internal dynamics have been further exacerbated by the group’s leader, Damien Priest, who has seemingly become increasingly disoriented amidst the turmoil. His uncertainty regarding the group’s dynamics and his manager, Liv Morgan, has created an atmosphere of instability within the faction.
Morgan’s involvement with the group has contributed to the divisions, with Finn Balor even hinting that he might cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase should Priest win the title once again. The absence of Rhea Ripley, who has been sidelined recently, has only added to the sense of disarray within the group, leaving fans wondering what the future holds for the troubled faction.
As the drama continues to unfold, it remains unclear how the Judgment Day will ultimately navigate the treacherous waters of internal strife and external pressure. One thing is certain, however – the fans will have to continue waiting for Rhea Ripley’s return to gain a clearer understanding of the faction’s future direction.
