Judgement Day gotta breakup this year man

[HIM]

We all agree with this?

I was reading that Sami thread and I remembered that dude had a stint where he faced these dudes for months. After that I remembered that Jey did it too, hell even Cody did it. For a good while this group was opening shows and running roughshod over not only the men but the women too since Rhea's damn near untouchable to the point where she'll probably go over clean on The Man Becky Lynch aka one of the most over superstars this past decade. It's to where even guys like Dom, who's improved and is dope, got Gunther to admit that dude's tougher than he thought.

Like, I love the superstars in this group, don't get me wrong. But the group as a whole? We gotta get em outta here. We've dealt with the Bloodline doing this for years and this group's done enough as it is I feel. We don't need them to be as agonizing as them.

Each superstar can do so much more as singles/tag stars away from the group. I genuinely think each of them are dope in their own ways but the group's thing? We can move on. They can each take a piece of what made the group dope with themselves too if need be. Like, we done with it.

What yall think?

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

they are Raw’s crutch at this point and it all started going downhill for the group as a whole (not individually) when they kept teasing that priest would be kicked out and it went nowhere. it is obvious that was called back because it is easier to keep things as usual

[XIII]

Bloodline Purple is probably going to last at least another year. lol

[BRV]

The crowd is cheering for Rhea Ripley, booing Dominik Mysterio, and at best ambivalent toward Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and J.D. McDonagh.

Split them up after WrestleMania. Rhea turns face, Dominik strikes out on his own as a heel, Damian finally decides to cash in Money in the Bank (win or lose), Finn gets to go back to being an elite singles wrestler, and J.D. exists in the ether.

[J is Justice]

Best part of Judgement Day is Truth, and he's not an official member.

[Bang Bang Bart]

I get the feeling that the tag ladder match paves the way for it with Finn and Priest losing both sets of titles.

[Main Event Mark]

I still like this group together, but it feels like it's time for something to change.

[Deleted]

the group peaked IMO months ago and really has done nothing but spin their wheels since.

Like someone said JD has been great for those in it...but not for their opponents.

[4real]

Can see Priest getting kicked out of the group at some point soon. Balor and JD I see either becoming a team or JD basically being Finn’s corner man. Rhea & Dom I don’t think you can really split unless Rhea goes full face.

Boot JD out of the group and go back to the classic lineup of Finn, Priest, Dirty Dom and his Mami. Dude adds nothing to the group and has absolutely no swagger.

Yeah this is where I'm at with it.

I will say adding JD to JD was a mistake. I get he was brought in to be the fall guy to protect the others in matches, but nah.

[jabroni]

They need to either break up or one of them needs to win a World Championship and give them 1-2 months in the Main Event scene to see if the act becomes greater or lesser with the addition of the championship. They've run their course in the midcard and people will tire of it, with Priest having that briefcase, seems likely that McIntyre wins the belt at WrestleMania and then Damian Priest will "rob" him of it in some capacity.



The Judgement Day as a whole I would hope, have just as much drawing power as Seth Rollins at this point. Lateral move and worth the risk, because you're right, it's getting stale now. But even incorporating R Truth into a Main Event Judgement Day angle would be amazing as well. I think after Mania, they'll let them be the top dogs on Raw for awhile. Kill some time while business is down.

On the other hand, the group were really good foils for Raw's super-faces for several months, and helped keep them over up to Wargames. By that point they weren't as necessary for people like Cody and Seth, so got downplayed a bit. As far as the group goes, the build to Elimination Chamber was already a trial run for Rhea working tweener/face apart from the group, but I sense they feel there's some major storyline moments to be had running an actual break-up angle rather than the group just drifting apart.

[Bang Bang Bart]

The Judgment Day you grew up with is gone.

[Lizuka #BLM]

They really should've had the Truth stuff build to the group having a face turn, since it'd at least be different and they'd probably be over huge in that capacity, but no, Bloodline Purple it is.

[Indiana Miz]

I'll be satisfied with them just losing all their titles. They have great chemistry as a team.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Even Rhea feels like she's kind of embarrassed to be around them anymore, she's become more adjacent to them than anything and that's pretty much because she's outgrown the all outside of Dominick, who still has good chemistry with her, as an act right now.

[A Platypus Rave]

My guess is they lose the titles at Mania and they all kindajust break up from there.

Not sure who on the men's side goes face... Finn is probably the easiest to turn... because up until Judgement day they couldn't keep the fans from cheering him...

[BorneAgain]

There's an obvious direction for all of them if there is a likely breakup. Turn Finn face again, test Priest out as a major singles heel, keep Rhea as a tweener slowly going face on her own, see the value in Dominik/Andrade team, and put JD's name in the random gimmick generator going forward.

My dream is that Priest cashes in on Cody at Wrestlemania.

Cody beats Roman. He finishes the story. Roman turns face in his "You're alright Laruso moment in defeat". Cody holds up the finger to acknowledge the tribal chief. Cody's got the belt and is walking over to his mom to hand it to her...Priest's music hits.

To make it even better, they do a Priest face turn earlier in the night where he sides with Truth against Judgement Day. Priest ends Wrestlemania as the champ. R- Truth is celebrating with him. Everyone is a face. Cody did it, but he didn't. The fans don't know what to think!
