Rhea Ripley Reunites With Ex-Partner After Recent WWE Show

WWE star Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley has caught up with an old partner after a recent WWE show.

Rhea Ripley appeared on NXT Homecoming, where she teamed with Lyra Valkyria and Stephanie Vaquer to defeat Fatal Influence. But they were far from the only main roster stars returning to the brand where they made their name in WWE on the show.

Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Grayson Waller, Damian Priest, Charlotte Flair, Bobby Roode, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Carmelo Hayes, and Alexa Bliss were among other former NXT stars who appeared. In the case of Flair and Bliss, they teamed up to successfully defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame.

In footage that has appeared online from after the show, Damian Priest joined Vaquer, Valkyria, and Ripley in the ring, where he reunited with his former partner in The Judgment Day.

Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest Share Judgment Day Past

The Terror Twins, Priest and Ripley, were the first two people recruited to The Judgment Day by the group’s first leader, Edge. When they went behind the WWE Hall of Famer’s back to bring in Finn Balor, it spelt disaster for Edge as he was betrayed and kicked out of his own group.

As part of The Judgment Day, Damian Priest captured the World Heavyweight Championship while Rhea Ripley won the Women’s World Title. However, their time in the group came to an end on the same night at SummerSlam 2024 when they were both betrayed by the group.

After Rhea Ripley lost her Women’s World Title to Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio left his ‘Mami’ to join forces with Morgan, while later in the night, Finn Balor screwed Priest out of the World Heavyweight Championship, which Gunther won.

Ripley and Priest gained a measure of revenge when they defeated Mysterio and Morgan in a mixed tag team match at Bash In Berlin.
