Rhea Ripley Reveals Honest Reaction To The Judgment Day Split

The Judgment Day have been one of the most dominant groups in WWE for years now, but everything changed last month at SummerSlam. During the show Dominik Mysterio turned on Rhea Ripley, and Finn Balor later turned on Damian Priest. Following the show Finn Balor announced that The Judgment Day would carry on without Rhea and Damian.

Rhea Ripley recently spoke to The Wrestling Classic about the dramatic changes The Judgment Day has gone through in recent weeks, and she admitted that she cried when the split happened.

“The Judgment Day was really family to me. It really was. It has helped my career so much more than I could actually put into words. That was when I started opening up and feeling comfortable going out there and being in front of the crowd. I had the boys and could fall back on. It was really emotional for me.

I saw something come out about Judgment Day members, a specific one crying backstage after everything. I’m not ashamed of it. That was me. I was upset. The last two and a half years of my life has changed now. I can’t go back to that. They were my boys and my family. It was really sad.

At the same time, when something so good comes to an end, the other side of it is something amazing is about to start as well. I wasn’t really thinking about that because I was so emotional. That was the most fun I’ve had in my career in a long time. I felt invincible. I felt I could go out there and be a cheeky little menace and get away with it, for real, and have fun with my friends.

I loved my time with the Judgment Day. Now, I’m loving my time absolutely brutalizing the Judgment Day. They are not the real Judgment Day. They are street trash.”
