Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest were both betrayed at WWE SummerSlam but now on Raw questions about their own relationship have been answered.

SummerSlam kicked off with Rhea Ripley challenging Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship and Mami had Dominik Mysterio by her side for the bout. Mysterio’s influence proved to be pivotal as he stopped Ripley from nailing Morgan with a chair but rightfully pointed out that would have stopped her from regaining the title she never lost.

However, a later distraction from Mysterio proved harder to explain as he took the referee’s attention which allowed Morgan to hit Ripley with Oblivion on the chair to pick up the win. After the bout, all became clear as Dominik Mysterio helped Liv Morgan to her feet before planting a big kiss on her.

The betrayals didn’t end there however as Damian Priest was screwed over by Finn Balor as he defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther.

After months of simmering tension, Balor placed Gunther’s foot on the rope to break up a pinfall attempt by Priest before The Ring General locked a distracted champion in his sleeper hold to win the World Heavyweight Title for the very first time.

Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley Unite On Raw

Now on Raw in Baltimore, battle lines have been drawn. Finn Balor introduced the new Judgment Day confirming that he is still with JD McDonagh, Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.

Damian Priest faced JD McDonagh later on the show but that match descended into a Judgment Day attack on Priest. With Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan putting the boots to Priest, Rhea Ripley ran to his rescue and the ‘Terror Twins’ ended up standing tall after Priest dropped McDonagh with his South of Heaven chokeslam.

After the show, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley claimed that they were The Judgment Day and vowed to “make it rain pain” for those who have betrayed them.
