WWE's The Judgment Day has been facing a turbulent time, especially with key member Rhea Ripley sidelined due to an injury and Damian Priest carving out his own path as the World Heavyweight Champion. Amidst this disarray, there's speculation of Liv Morgan trying to sway the faction, particularly targeting Dominik Mysterio. However, Freddie Prinze Jr., actor and ex-WWE creative, has a fresh take on the evolving narrative.
On his podcast "Wrestling With Freddie," Prinze discussed the faction's current dynamics, pointing out the absence of a definitive leader and suggesting that Morgan’s maneuvers might be part of a larger scheme. "It’s clear there's turmoil within The Judgment Day, and Liv Morgan is not just causing a rift; she’s setting the stage for when Rhea returns," Prinze proposed. "Imagine if all of Morgan's machinations are actually paving the way for Rhea to make a grand comeback, reinstating her leadership and unifying the faction once again."
This theory comes at a time when WWE storylines are more interconnected than ever. Following Rhea Ripley's forced relinquishment of the Women's World Championship due to her injury post-WrestleMania 40, Becky Lynch stepped up to claim the title. This twist adds layers to Ripley’s potential rivalries with both Lynch and Morgan upon her return.
Securing Faction's Future
Prinze also addressed concerns about The Judgment Day's future, dispelling fears of the group dissolving abruptly. "Gone are the days when storylines would disappear without a trace," he commented, referencing the end of Vince McMahon’s era. According to Prinze, under the current leadership, even narratives that seemed to have faded are woven back into the fabric of ongoing WWE sagas, maintaining continuity and enhancing character arcs.
Prinze’s insights not only shed light on possible future directions for The Judgment Day but also reflect a broader strategy within WWE to keep storylines alive and interconnected, ensuring that past conflicts and alliances influence future events. As fans await Ripley's return, the unfolding drama within The Judgment Day could very well redefine the power dynamics of WWE's narrative landscape.
