They are now what they need to be which is cocky heels who are slight goofs
Priest and Balor have got back their confidence and look comfortable since they don't have to be ultra serious heels while a new level in Rhea has been unlocked. I didn't like turning her heel since she was getting over big time as a babyface but she's found her footing as a heel with this role

I find it so funny that despite being Rey's son they play him up as Eddie's child more than anything because of the damn storyline lmfao

Hate that I'm a legit actual Judgment Day fan now. Dominik getting a reaction in San Diego that sounded like someone was about to hop the barricade and try to kill him just standing there lookin freaky was great.
HAVIN A GREAT TIME IN THE BAY AREA

Judgement Day are a legit highlight now. Rhea was from day one but Balor and Priest appear much more comfortable in the group too in recent weeks and even f***ing Dominik is kinda working. The heat he was getting tonight was great. Rhea really is the star of the show. It’ll probably be Bayley but I’d love her to be the next women’s champion and destroy Bianca Lesnar/Cena style. Although maybe it’s a good thing she’s being kept away from the title picture. Being the de facto leader of JD has made her seem like a bigger star and when she does eventually re-enter the women’s division she’ll be a way bigger deal than the ice cold Rhea who was champion last year. That seems like a lifetime ago.
Yeah really, last year was just rough because her winning at Mania 37 was a Plan C or D, plus Vince pretty clearly didn't get her character (she's noted that the lack of crowds made it worse because she couldn't point to them to go against Vince's ideas), which led to her alignment being uncertain along with some very stop-start booking later on. It's been all good for a while, though, and her return to matches is an exciting prospect. Something else I like about her role in the group is that Judgment Day feels very integrated in a way that's rare. It's not unusual to have a female member in a group, but rather than that being what it usually means, where they're just the valet, or presented very differently, she's basically just one of the guys. They all dress similarly, they play off each other well in promos, and it creates a pretty unique dynamic.

I was surprised by how much heat they got tonight. The crowd really hated them. So whatever they are doing is clearly working which is kind of amazing in itself as the angle was such a disaster the first three months or so. Edge getting kicked out still makes no sense but the current lineup is clicking regardless of it not really making any sense of how they got to this point.
I also wish they would eventually have them win a PPV match. Since Edge left they've lost all of their big matches which again goes back to them kicking Edge out for Finn making no sense. When Edge was in it they were winning all of their PPV matches including one where he pinned Finn. They kick Edge out for Finn and now they've lost every PPV match. So even though are being presented well on Raw there's a lot of fans who only watch PPV's so I can them coming off as ineffective losers to a lot of those fans.

The heat for Dominick was great. Rhea seems so comfortable in this role. My one doubt about Bayley beating Bianca for the title is they haven’t done Bianca v Rhea yet and I think Rhea deserves that title match. Maybe next year. Balor was also pretty funny in the AJ Styles segment.
Judgment Day is certainly a more cohesive act than they were with Edge or post them turning on Edge.

They are becoming heat magnets. This is just the beginning of how great they could be as a group. Balir, Priest, and Rhea can wrestle their asses off and Dominic is is Dominic. Hopefully they can capitalize off of this. We haven't even gotten to the conclusion of what they planned for Rey. And adding AJ to the mix is great.

Man, Dominik is HATED.
He's gonna be one of the best heels in the company if they roll with this.

Dom actually doesn't look like a complete dweeb here. Well, he still looks like dancing Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3, but it's an improvement.

Dominick's massive grin when the boos rained down was awesome.
I can't even imagine how fulfilling that must be for a heel.

It's been a great turnaround. Kind of makes me wish we got to see what Triple H could've done with Retribution.

Shoutouts to Rey and Edge too for putting their all in to this angle. Rey in particular has been going so hard on the emotional promos he's almost made himself cry like every week, including tonight. Matt Riddle came up like HEY BRO LET'S KICK THEIR ASSES and Rey couldn't even put on a smile cause he was about to start bawling. Like god damn dude.

I guess I don't follow all that closely, but what is the purpose of them all being together? What are they judging exactly?
