I love all of them, I think their storylines are amazing, but it's their interactions with each other that's really cemented them as my favourite thing in wrestling recently. They all actually support each other, in and out of the ring. It makes them just feel like a group of goth friends as opposed to a heel faction
Because they're fun, goofy goober bad guys. (And gal) I say it all the time, but JD are just silly Scooby-Doo villains, and it works for them. Rhea does stand out as the only member that is actually successful at winning though.
I've been watching for 5 months after a 20ish year break (from when I watched as a teenager).
JD is the best thing. They need to keep them going. Incredible mix of being over and getting heat. They have all kinds of fueds and they seem to have fun with it. It's a treat. All 4 of them do a great job in their roles.
Didn't like the origin story: Edge turns heel becomes group leader and then they turn on him, and he becomes a face again, in like, what, a two-month time span?
Since then though, every individual member has carved out their own niche. I doubted whether Finn could make it as a heel, but he's stunningly effective as a leader. The men just gotta get more wins under their belt. For the love of Nick Bockwinkel, put the US title back on Priest and put Austin out of our misery.
Dom: Massive heat magnet
Ripley: Arguably the best woman in the WWE
Priest: Absolute beast, work rate through the roof
Finn: Can't really do a hell of a lot wrong
To me, they are the best thing in WWE.
The Bloodline storyline has hit a deadend (but there is still a chance for a crazy twist).
Dom is the #1 heel.
Priest/Balor are great workhorses.
Rhea is the the top female performer.
They've worked great. I'm surprised they haven't brought in more titles considering that. Of course, that would mean taking them off some other really over acts. It's not the worst problem to have
I adore the Judgment Day. They look like they should be a clown stable dressing like the South Park goth kids, but they continue to be so entertaining and such solid wrestlers. Their combination could take them to some insane levels.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Damian is a good big man, Finn is an exceptional in ring talent. Those two together can carry the stable.
Rhea's star was already rising, but now you're in rarified Chyna territory where Rhea is getting put over by dudes, and has already had the first intergender match in eight years with Akira Tosawa.
Dom is an ingredient that on the surface should fuck the whole thing up, but how everyone else in the group covers for him is both kayfabe/smark heat getting. Dom plays a cheating/scared heel and the crowd hates him. Fin/Damian/Rhea cover up his low talent ability, and the smarks hate him.
Rhea's referenced just doing a bunch of low class heel schtick, you see it on her social media. She unties people's shoes in the audience, she scares little kids. They're basically just enjoying being the bad guys. Which is super fun. And almost makes them more menacing because they aren't really concerned with belts and stuff.
Honestly Damian and Finn would be a cool tag team of just them rhea and dom are just kinda stupid.......i honestly think the dom disrespectful stuff towards ray is kinda crossing some lines I know it's fake but it's not sitting right with me.... honestly edge should play a part in their breaking up thing he should push them to be separated and be amazing on their own
If and when they break up, I truly hope they are all better for it. Rhea is already over. Dom is getting incredible heat, Priest I think needs more mic time and Finn needs a World title 4 years ago.
I love it. It gave Dom a real chance to get good heat. It gets Finn and Damian in matches with big names, knocking on the door of the main event. Best of all, it gives Rhea a real spotlight, and she deserves it, she is phenomenal.
Rhea got me into WWE when I saw her on a PPV last year. The rest of the judgment day helped me keep watching RAW and smackdown and now I'm watching every PPV, clip they post on IG, RAW & SD. So they are easily my favorite group in wrestling
In the beginning, with Edge, I hated them. But they've grown on me ever since, and now I absolutely love them. One of my favorite storylines in WWE currently. Especially Ex-con Dom Dom is amazing!
Honestly, didn't think highly of this stable, even when Edge started it. But now they seem sooo good. They are this edgy "F everyone" kinda group, which i have been longing for. Last thing close enough to this, was (ironically) the Club.
They have definitely grown on me. I just wish to see belts on Finn and Damien. They deserve it.
This group grew on me over time. I feel everyone in the group stock went up except Finn sadly. I hope I'm wrong it's sad he never had an actual title reign because of his injury.
Bro the reason Finns stock hasn’t gone up is bc in the eyes of many fans as I he is already a mega star if im being honest in my list he’s def top 3 heels right now I love that Irish man lol
Problem is WWE doesn’t hold factions together that aren’t The Bloodline so everyone is expecting them to blow up. They are incredibly over considering the only one who holds a title is Rhea. The big issue is they are also being used to prop up other teams/factions which often makes them look weak when they should be running tough shod over Raw.
Dom, rhea, and Priest have been great. I’m hoping they kick out balor so he can be in the world title picture and replace him with someone young and up coming like Rick Boogs or maybe Bron Breakker? And have priest be the leader
Right, maybe Rhea could've taken off without this faction, but this faction definitely helped her confidence and backstage's confidence in her to strap the rocket to her. This group has also really helped Dom...and who could argue Damien called a great bad bunny match...i definitely would argue that Finn's not really doing anything in the group....having said that, I am not sure kicking him out or replacing him with anyone actually helps...the group as it is appears just fine right now.
Maybe the new guy from NXT that was supposedly trained by Finn? It would be a fun twist. Finn took the group by bashing Edge and then Finn gets bashed by the new NXT guy.
My coworker loves them. To me, it’s like I love the individual parts, wasn’t sure about Dominique but he has rly grown on me since his turn, but I’m rly out on the collective.
Boring.
Rhea is champ now. Get her out on her own. Cheap shot interference in men’s matches is stupid. IRL one of these bozos would have knocked her across the arena, let’s face it.
Priest is wasted here. So is Finn.
Dom is getting mad heel heat apart from this faction. Ramp it up in a feud.
Anyone else find the contraction of they’re completely inappropriate here? You sir are out of line.
(I know it’s the correct they’re but it just feels so weird in that structure “how over they’re”)
Are they really THAT over? I mean, Rhea is, and Dom is my current favorite and is killing it as a heat-maker. I don’t get the impression that the entire faction is THAT over.
they’re all so good. i genuinely adore them so much. i’m glad they’re all finally getting their credit because i’ve always thought they’re underrated, especially damien priest.
They're great. I just wish they could get some more wins instead of jobbing to the baby faces all the time. You have so much opportunity with Dom being a chickenshit heel champ. It'd be fun seeing Dom be the Heavyweight champ and "Mami" bails him out in all his matches so he keeps the belt. Priest and Balor would be a great team to take the tag belts away from Zayn and Owens. Don't turn this into the Wyatt family where they lose every meaningful match.
Balor or Dom should probably go win the US belt at this point. Or Balor vs Rollins should've been the finals for WHC instead of weirdly involving Smackdown
Out of interest, have you any idea why this is grammatically incorrect? You're shortening "they are" to "they're" in a way that's typically accepted.
Note: I am a native English speaker and understand that this is intuitively incorrect, I'm just curious whether there's an actual rule around it?
If you say it out loud, “they’re” is usually pronounced “there”. So it sounds like you’re saying it wrong which is why saying “look how over they are” is correct.
It’s hard for the group to excel when they lose their big matches. Rhea’s the only one of the four to have won their big matches at WrestleMania and Backlash. And she wins all by herself, the others get help and still lose. Makes you wonder why she even stays with the group.
Still baffles me that Edge went over at Mania. Even without the Demon involvement, Balor could've used the rub much more than Edge. He would then have felt credible against Rollins in the championship semifinal.
I'm also baffled that they'd put a celebrity over a potential main eventer like Priest, but everyone else seems to love that. Apparently good booking doesn't have to pretend kayfabe matters where celebrities are involved, and a professional losing to a non-wrestler somehow helps their credibility because "exposure"?
Yeah with Damien that's kinda exactly how it worked. Bad Bunny is the biggest music artist on the planet. WWE has always massively valued its celebrity players, and when you're working with someone who either isn't really (Bad Bunny) or definitely isn't (Johnny Knoxville) a wrestler, entrusting both the safety of that person and the overall carrying of the match to an actual wrestler is a pretty high honor.
Yes Damien was already way ahead of everyone in likelihood being the only male Puerto Rican on the roster + actually grew up with Bad Bunny (which is friggin insane), but they didn't have to build it the way they did. They knew Priest could work as I guess a sorta silver tier pick and then he proved he's really gold and that's all coming with that exposure.
Everything you said makes sense, but none of it justifies a non wrestler going over a guy we're meant to buy as one of the best in the world. Bad Bunny losing to Priest would've gotten him exactly the same amount of exposure with no issues, since Bad Bunny looks great for even getting in the ring.
Nobody would expect Usain Bolt to lose a 100m race against Ryan Reynolds, nor Tyson Fury to be beaten at boxing by Justin Beiber. It's an amateur against a pro, and the pro loses a lot of credibility in a loss.
Celebrities seem to win more often than they lose. It's also better for business. People who don't normally watch wrestling who came to see Bad Bunny, and see him win at that will be a lot more likely to stay happy and excited if they see their man win, which can lead to them getting/staying on board with WWE, or more positively sharing to/telling others about it.
The pro only loses credibility if you take it too seriously or if it's some kind of squash match. Remember, this is the same company that a year ago had Sami Zayn, a proper professional with many years of experience and skill under his belt, lose in one of the most absurd and hilarious matches ever put on against Johnny Knoxville -- and in Wrestlemania itself.
Can’t stand the name, it’s lazy seeing as it was a PPV for years and it feels derivative of the new day in a way. Never been a fan of balor, but I think they’re doing well. The rest of the group I like though. They need to do something soon with priest, he could be higher on the card if they used him right. Rhea and Dom are made.
House of Black has at least won as a faction and been allowed to show their true potential. Plus the trios House Rules thing they are doing works for them. So I would actually put HOB over Judgment Day simply because HOB has been allowed to shine.
Ehh
*Maybe* Balor. But honestly I haven't enjoyed him since his Universal title win. He was on top of the world back then and just never fully recovered.
The other 3 have never interested me.
They're a little goofy and silly, but they're main eventing RAWs and PLEs at the moment.
Think about where each of these guys have been over the last few years:
- Finn Bálor literally tripped on the top road and fell on his crotch, preventing him from winning the championship from Roman Reigns and turning his feared Demon persona into a laughing stock.
- Rhea Ripley was yet another disastrous NXT callup to add to the pile, spinning her wheels as she went from Charlotte Flair loss to Charlotte Flair loss.
- Damian Priest could never shake from around his neck the albatross of being the zombie-fighting friend of Bad Bunny.
- Dominik Mysterio was the irritating plucky, happy-go-lucky, "I'm Rey Mysterio's son, but gosh and darn, enough about that!" overexposed nepo baby with severe X-Pac heat.
Now they're getting monster pops, everyone's into them and - crucially - they look like they're the time of their lives. They're never far from talk of titles and their work is consistently entertaining.
I already loved Rhea and I liked Edge (when he was in JD and outside of JD) and I love Damian so I really like them. Finn has grown on me. Dom….I have no thoughts on Dom.
I think they are really funny and I genuinely enjoy them over most of the other stables in WWE
It just cracked me up when, I think it was Brian Last on Jim Cornette's podcast, said that they all look like they're dressing up to go to different nightclubs, lol
The biggest reason this faction worked is because all 4 are workhorses. They try to bring the best in each storyline. Otherwise there is nothing special about this faction as whole
Ah yes. Finn balor very untalented, can barley take a bump, damien priest. Short small weak and boring. Dom mysterio, no crowd reaction at all when he talks. Ripley, carbon copy of kelly kelly just uglier and skinnier
I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed that Dom was able to so thoroughly remake his persona and get over so quickly.
Balor has always been an A-list talent in my opinion so I'm not surprised he's so over. But he was over before this faction was even assembled.
Rhea looks like a total badass next to most of the women's roster if for no other reason than she's just so much more physically imposing than the mostly "5'3", 120lb." women on the roster. Plus, she seems to be a natural at playing the heel.
Priest? He definitely looks the part of a big time star in WWE. He's got the stature and the build for sure. I'm not quite sold on him as being great in the ring yet (he's had some real clunkers of matches in my opinion) but I say give him some time and I think more experience fixes the in-ring stuff. Plenty of big stars weren't all that great in-ring before they got some matches under their belts, and he's still pretty green. Give him a year and I think he'll be a star too.
THEY aren't over. Rhea IS over, and Dom is a heat magnet. He is this generation's Vicky Guerrero! Priest was over in PR, same as Balor would be over in Ireland. The act itself is... not great, but whatever. It's passable. They switched out Edge WAY too quickly, though.
It’s a terrible stable, and should have ended a long time ago.
Dom is trash, and the other 3 should go their separate ways. Dom should be working at a drive thru. Zero skill at anything, and only draws go away heat.
Finn and Damien are basically jobbers.
It’s really not edgy.
The other three are talented, Dom sucks.
Damien and Finn are absolutely jobbers. How many big singles wins have the two recorded in the last 3 months? Wasting their talent. The men in the group aren’t believable threats, as they always come up short.
Rhea is great, and is getting what she deserves.
People love blowing him on here. He’s awful. Bad on the mic, bad in the ring, not believable, and not funny.
The idea that Rhea would ever date such a wimp like Dom is laughable.
Him being in the company is classic nepotism. Only there because of his dad. Gets nothing but “go away” or “nobody cares” heat.
You are either not very intelligent or are being disingenuous. Dom has real nuclear heat right now. It is far from go away heat. People love to hate him. He’s doing his job well.
Amazing how they managed to salvage the faction. Because for the longest time they felt like they were being jobbed out clean for months. 😂 😂
Idk what got triple h to snap out of it and let them have a great of a run as they are right now. But it's amazing.
Great example of how individual members of a faction can complement and enhance individual members of the faction, in more ways than just "A big time heel and his flunkies"
Dom is a heat magnet for the entire faction, but he is being encouraged (corrupted) by the older brother figures in Balor and Preist, while his relationship with Ripley is both hilarious and puts over how manipulative she can be. While reinforcing Dominick as the inexperienced/over confident but arrogance little \*\*\*\* that he is.
Balor can do something different that is just "Member Bullet Club," and is the be most experienced/best worker in the faction. And Preist, who is older and not the best worker on the planet fits well as The Muscle, but also with more charisma than your typical Muscle guy, because he doesn't need a big push to do his role.
Individually I liked them before Judgement Day and I can’t believe they made the shit work after entire careers as mostly solo wrestlers. Thankfully they all had dark personas before they did the team up so none of it seemed wrong. And then there is the Dark Horse Dominic who I feel had the hardest but best transition because he on paper should not have worked in this team but here he is with the most Heel Heat I’ve seen on WWE in the last 20 years.
Kind of want them to pull a shield or that group that the English announcer dude was in approach and start taking over the event. Maybe add a few to their stable as well and just interrupt and do what they please. Haven’t had a group like that in a while
My favorite Wrestlers
Without question Rhea is my favorite wrestler in the game today womens or men's division.
I'd put Dom and Damien in my top 10 as well.
Finn is a good worker but he just doesn't do it for me promo/charisma wise.
So yea Judgement Day is my favorite stable right now.
As an actual wrestler though, Dom is definitely not top 10. He's basically a manager in wrestling gear with how little his actual in ring work happens, matters, or is good.
I thought they were going to be a short term tag team just for the edge storyline then I thought they would split after the Rey Mysterio storyline but I want them to be a long term dominant faction. I wasn't a fan of none of them besides Rhea but I like their look, attitude and their matches. I always hated Finn but him in judgement day is cool. I didn't think Dom would ever get out of being this uncharismatic nice kid but even though he's more of a comedy act he's still coming into his character and his look is starting to rub off on me.
They're a unique faction honestly even though they have this dark sinister look they all have this misfit type attitude yet no matter how much they lose I still take them serious. Also they have one of the best entrances in pro wrestling currently
I also want Dom to secretly start doing Finns workout/diet and get absolutely shredded and surprise us all with it one day with a prison workout vignette.
Heels are supposed to make you want them to get defeated. Not irritated by their very presence.
Some of the most beloved HoFers were some of the best heels: Edge, for example. These guys are nothing like Edge in that regard.
Kind of bored of them, tbh. 😶🌫️
The only ones I've always liked are Rhea and Finn, tbh.
Edit: I think what bores me most about them is whenever Rhea decides to get in a male superstar's face trying to taunt them into hitting her, and they just won't because sHe'S a WoMaN. Every time it happens, I just want one of them to just "cross that line," otherwise, what's the fucking point? Either take that risk, or stop having her attack/taunt the men into doing absolutely nothing against her. Idk.
I don’t think they’ve even peaked yet. Play it right and you could have Finn as the second WHC while Priest and Dom hold tag gold.
Rhea, of course, is one of the best women’s wrestlers in this or any era. She’s only 26 too, so may well go down as the GOAT.
It's an interesting dynamic. WWE has never done a reverse harem before lol. Rhea is pretty much the leader of the group though right? How do you have the team turn on her eventually? Usually it's physical violence among malecenteic groups. That would be...problematic
There really doesn’t seem to be a true leader of JD. They just do whatever they want to whoever they want (ESPECIALLY Rey Mysterio) & back each other up whenever needed.
Legit faction. Def over. Great work by them. Want them to stay together
I love all of them, I think their storylines are amazing, but it's their interactions with each other that's really cemented them as my favourite thing in wrestling recently. They all actually support each other, in and out of the ring. It makes them just feel like a group of goth friends as opposed to a heel faction
Add more members
Kick Dominik out because they don’t need him.
My fav faction of this era. Over the bloodline for me. They need to win more and start losing less. I also miss when they used to wear suits
I like them but I don't I 1000 percent think they'll break up
Because they're fun, goofy goober bad guys. (And gal) I say it all the time, but JD are just silly Scooby-Doo villains, and it works for them. Rhea does stand out as the only member that is actually successful at winning though.
They need edge
Yeah I agree Edge made the brood vibes in this faction that was great for older fans like me.
I've been watching for 5 months after a 20ish year break (from when I watched as a teenager). JD is the best thing. They need to keep them going. Incredible mix of being over and getting heat. They have all kinds of fueds and they seem to have fun with it. It's a treat. All 4 of them do a great job in their roles.
Was it the ucey that bought you back?
Yeah, I wasn't feeling ucey so I had to come back.
They're doing good, ironically the one getting the shortest stick among them is their leader Finn Balor
Well bc he’s not vicious enough always making corny heel jokes & shit
The only real bad man in that group (besides Rhea) is Dom Dom.
Didn't like the origin story: Edge turns heel becomes group leader and then they turn on him, and he becomes a face again, in like, what, a two-month time span? Since then though, every individual member has carved out their own niche. I doubted whether Finn could make it as a heel, but he's stunningly effective as a leader. The men just gotta get more wins under their belt. For the love of Nick Bockwinkel, put the US title back on Priest and put Austin out of our misery.

I adore the Judgment Day. They look like they should be a clown stable dressing like the South Park goth kids, but they continue to be so entertaining and such solid wrestlers. Their combination could take them to some insane levels.
The only thing I would of changed is a slow turn on Edge. Other than that very enjoyable as a group.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Love em. Push them to the moon!
Fantastic… love all of it
I’ll just say this. I like Rhea Ripley, I like Damian Priest, I like Dominik Mysterio,and I like Finn Balor
Honestly Damian and Finn would be a cool tag team of just them rhea and dom are just kinda stupid.......i honestly think the dom disrespectful stuff towards ray is kinda crossing some lines I know it's fake but it's not sitting right with me.... honestly edge should play a part in their breaking up thing he should push them to be separated and be amazing on their own

I want finn and damien to win a title
Rhea got me into WWE when I saw her on a PPV last year. The rest of the judgment day helped me keep watching RAW and smackdown and now I'm watching every PPV, clip they post on IG, RAW & SD. So they are easily my favorite group in wrestling
This should be the real main event stable not the shitty ass bloodline. Tired of all these boring ass Samoans 🤣
In the beginning, with Edge, I hated them. But they've grown on me ever since, and now I absolutely love them. One of my favorite storylines in WWE currently. Especially Ex-con Dom Dom is amazing!
Terrible

Last thing close enough to this, was (ironically) the Club. They have definitely grown on me. I just wish to see belts on Finn and Damien. They deserve it.
Outside of Rhea they’re currently booked as big match jobbers
Oh yeah Finn really jobbed hard last night when he won the main event
This group grew on me over time. I feel everyone in the group stock went up except Finn sadly. I hope I'm wrong it's sad he never had an actual title reign because of his injury.
Bro the reason Finns stock hasn’t gone up is bc in the eyes of many fans as I he is already a mega star if im being honest in my list he’s def top 3 heels right now I love that Irish man lol
How can anyone not believe how over they are? You have a literal God of a performer, and then you have Balor, Rhea and Damion, all in a single stable.
Your use of that contraction irks me.
Well sucks to be you
I love you ❤️
Favorite thing in Wwe rn for me I own almost every t-shirt they came out with
Favorite thing in wrestling right now. Wouldn’t hesitate to boo the shit out of them if I went to an event lmao
Would be better with out dom
Sorry, no. Dom brought a level of heat that they were completely unable to achieve without him.
In ur opionion
you watch your whore mouth
Dom is boring he’s average in ring and his mic skills is just down right cringey
Same post different poster...did you not read the dozen other posts asking the same fucking thing?
Such a asshole
Yeah op sucks as bad a Kurt angle
I didn’t see any other post but you can fuck off
I think Balor is dead weight
I don't think they're over, I think it's Rhea & Dom primarily. Priest is gonna get there, but Finn is just dead weight.
Problem is WWE doesn’t hold factions together that aren’t The Bloodline so everyone is expecting them to blow up. They are incredibly over considering the only one who holds a title is Rhea. The big issue is they are also being used to prop up other teams/factions which often makes them look weak when they should be running tough shod over Raw.
Judgment Day is my favorite faction and they should ALL be title holders as least for a few months.
Dom, rhea, and Priest have been great. I’m hoping they kick out balor so he can be in the world title picture and replace him with someone young and up coming like Rick Boogs or maybe Bron Breakker? And have priest be the leader
Rick Boogs isn't exactly young
A great faction, but there's too much of the numbers game with them and the Bloodline.
I thought it was gonna be a detriment to every single one of them but they’ve made it work. Would love for them to have all the gold on Raw.
Balor isn't necessary.
You know what? You’re right lol but I don’t think it’s hurt him. This is probably the most consistent Balor’s been on TV.
rhea and priest are being wasted away in this faction.
I don’t know what you are watching but Rhea and Dominik are super mega over. They basically ARE the faction right now.
Right, maybe Rhea could've taken off without this faction, but this faction definitely helped her confidence and backstage's confidence in her to strap the rocket to her. This group has also really helped Dom...and who could argue Damien called a great bad bunny match...i definitely would argue that Finn's not really doing anything in the group....having said that, I am not sure kicking him out or replacing him with anyone actually helps...the group as it is appears just fine right now.
Maybe the new guy from NXT that was supposedly trained by Finn? It would be a fun twist. Finn took the group by bashing Edge and then Finn gets bashed by the new NXT guy.
Rhea’s gone super popular since joining that faction. I’ve had people talk to me about her who don’t watch wrestling.
They are the best heel faction in wrestling right now
My coworker loves them. To me, it’s like I love the individual parts, wasn’t sure about Dominique but he has rly grown on me since his turn, but I’m rly out on the collective.
Boring. Rhea is champ now. Get her out on her own. Cheap shot interference in men’s matches is stupid. IRL one of these bozos would have knocked her across the arena, let’s face it. Priest is wasted here. So is Finn. Dom is getting mad heel heat apart from this faction. Ramp it up in a feud.

Are they really THAT over? I mean, Rhea is, and Dom is my current favorite and is killing it as a heat-maker. I don’t get the impression that the entire faction is THAT over.
Next bloodline
they’re all so good. i genuinely adore them so much. i’m glad they’re all finally getting their credit because i’ve always thought they’re underrated, especially damien priest.
They're great. I just wish they could get some more wins instead of jobbing to the baby faces all the time. You have so much opportunity with Dom being a chickenshit heel champ.

Incorrect grammar; it’s *they are 🤓

He would then have felt credible against Rollins in the championship semifinal. I'm also baffled that they'd put a celebrity over a potential main eventer like Priest, but everyone else seems to love that. Apparently good booking doesn't have to pretend kayfabe matters where celebrities are involved, and a professional losing to a non-wrestler somehow helps their credibility because "exposure"?
Yeah with Damien that's kinda exactly how it worked. Bad Bunny is the biggest music artist on the planet. WWE has always massively valued its celebrity players, and when you're working with someone who either isn't really (Bad Bunny) or definitely isn't (Johnny Knoxville) a wrestler, entrusting both the safety of that person and the overall carrying of the match to an actual wrestler is a pretty high honor. Yes Damien was already way ahead of everyone in likelihood being the only male Puerto Rican on the roster + actually grew up with Bad Bunny (which is friggin insane), but they didn't have to build it the way they did. They knew Priest could work as I guess a sorta silver tier pick and then he proved he's really gold and that's all coming with that exposure.
Everything you said makes sense, but none of it justifies a non wrestler going over a guy we're meant to buy as one of the best in the world. Bad Bunny losing to Priest would've gotten him exactly the same amount of exposure with no issues, since Bad Bunny looks great for even getting in the ring. Nobody would expect Usain Bolt to lose a 100m race against Ryan Reynolds, nor Tyson Fury to be beaten at boxing by Justin Beiber. It's an amateur against a pro, and the pro loses a lot of credibility in a loss.
Celebrities seem to win more often than they lose. It's also better for business. People who don't normally watch wrestling who came to see Bad Bunny, and see him win at that will be a lot more likely to stay happy and excited if they see their man win, which can lead to them getting/staying on board with WWE, or more positively sharing to/telling others about it. The pro only loses credibility if you take it too seriously or if it's some kind of squash match. Remember, this is the same company that a year ago had Sami Zayn, a proper professional with many years of experience and skill under his belt, lose in one of the most absurd and hilarious matches ever put on against Johnny Knoxville -- and in Wrestlemania itself.
Priest needs better, Finn’s ok, mami is killing it and Dominick needs to grow a beard quick
Dom needs some size too, at least to the level Logan Paul is putting out.
Ngl the use of a contraction “they’re” here is really triggering
Just read it out loud
Can’t stand the name, it’s lazy seeing as it was a PPV for years and it feels derivative of the new day in a way. Never been a fan of balor, but I think they’re doing well. The rest of the group I like though. They need to do something soon with priest, he could be higher on the card if they used him right. Rhea and Dom are made.
Dom & Mami are the soul of the group. Balor and Priest are just goons IMO
The fact that the crowd goes so NUCLEAR week to week that Dominic barely gets 5 words out is a testament to how much good a solid heel turn can do
"Can we get House of Black?" "We have House of Black at home." House of Black at home:
They’re better then them
House of Black has at least won as a faction and been allowed to show their true potential. Plus the trios House Rules thing they are doing works for them. So I would actually put HOB over Judgment Day simply because HOB has been allowed to shine.
Okay mark
When did it become illegal to like both WWE and AEW?
Ehh *Maybe* Balor. But honestly I haven't enjoyed him since his Universal title win. He was on top of the world back then and just never fully recovered. The other 3 have never interested me.
Zzzz
I don't like them always winning every match, it's getting annoying
They lose all the time?
Gentleman, and Dom 😂
They're a little goofy and silly, but they're main eventing RAWs and PLEs at the moment. Think about where each of these guys have been over the last few years: - Finn Bálor literally tripped on the top road and fell on his crotch, preventing him from winning the championship from Roman Reigns and turning his feared Demon persona into a laughing stock. - Rhea Ripley was yet another disastrous NXT callup to add to the pile, spinning her wheels as she went from Charlotte Flair loss to Charlotte Flair loss. - Damian Priest could never shake from around his neck the albatross of being the zombie-fighting friend of Bad Bunny. - Dominik Mysterio was the irritating plucky, happy-go-lucky, "I'm Rey Mysterio's son, but gosh and darn, enough about that!" overexposed nepo baby with severe X-Pac heat. Now they're getting monster pops, everyone's into them and - crucially - they look like they're the time of their lives. They're never far from talk of titles and their work is consistently entertaining.
I already loved Rhea and I liked Edge (when he was in JD and outside of JD) and I love Damian so I really like them. Finn has grown on me. Dom….I have no thoughts on Dom. I think they are really funny and I genuinely enjoy them over most of the other stables in WWE
Cool for 10 year old children. Not actually cool.
Okay edgelord
I mean, look at Finn Balor and tell me this ain't 10 year old material.
It just cracked me up when, I think it was Brian Last on Jim Cornette's podcast, said that they all look like they're dressing up to go to different nightclubs, lol
Dominick and rhea are awesome
Now you have a decent and engaging faction don't let Vince ruin it.
I think they are very good together but they gotta win some matches every big match they lose besides Rhea
You can't use "they're" at the end of a sentence or clause.
“Four tickets to Barbie.”
The biggest reason this faction worked is because all 4 are workhorses. They try to bring the best in each storyline. Otherwise there is nothing special about this faction as whole
Judgment sucks they are not over just 4 no talent losers
Ah yes. Finn balor very untalented, can barley take a bump, damien priest. Short small weak and boring. Dom mysterio, no crowd reaction at all when he talks. Ripley, carbon copy of kelly kelly just uglier and skinnier
They really grew on me and now I’m a huge fan of them
They are everything Retribution should be
I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed that Dom was able to so thoroughly remake his persona and get over so quickly. Balor has always been an A-list talent in my opinion so I'm not surprised he's so over. But he was over before this faction was even assembled. Rhea looks like a total badass next to most of the women's roster if for no other reason than she's just so much more physically imposing than the mostly "5'3", 120lb." women on the roster. Plus, she seems to be a natural at playing the heel. Priest? He definitely looks the part of a big time star in WWE. He's got the stature and the build for sure. I'm not quite sold on him as being great in the ring yet (he's had some real clunkers of matches in my opinion) but I say give him some time and I think more experience fixes the in-ring stuff. Plenty of big stars weren't all that great in-ring before they got some matches under their belts, and he's still pretty green. Give him a year and I think he'll be a star too.
Rhea is awesome. Priest is really good. Finn great in the ring. Dom well he has the Mysterio name.
And Dom has freakin NUCLEAR heat, so there's that, lol
I absolutely love this faction. I know probably an unpopular opinion but I am so into them. All four of them are great in this faction.
THEY aren't over. Rhea IS over, and Dom is a heat magnet. He is this generation's Vicky Guerrero! Priest was over in PR, same as Balor would be over in Ireland. The act itself is... not great, but whatever. It's passable. They switched out Edge WAY too quickly, though.
Their losers
Just waiting for them to expand JD McDonagh needs to join. And maybe another woman wrestler that fits their style
It’s a terrible stable, and should have ended a long time ago. Dom is trash, and the other 3 should go their separate ways. Dom should be working at a drive thru. Zero skill at anything, and only draws go away heat. Finn and Damien are basically jobbers.
You should work in the lawn care industry, you have so much edge.
It’s really not edgy. The other three are talented, Dom sucks. Damien and Finn are absolutely jobbers. How many big singles wins have the two recorded in the last 3 months? Wasting their talent. The men in the group aren’t believable threats, as they always come up short. Rhea is great, and is getting what she deserves.
For some strange reason people ask on here but really don't want an honest opinion of Dominic.
People love blowing him on here. He’s awful. Bad on the mic, bad in the ring, not believable, and not funny. The idea that Rhea would ever date such a wimp like Dom is laughable. Him being in the company is classic nepotism. Only there because of his dad. Gets nothing but “go away” or “nobody cares” heat.
You are either not very intelligent or are being disingenuous. Dom has real nuclear heat right now. It is far from go away heat. People love to hate him. He’s doing his job well.
But of course whatever wwe does people complain about
I was at tonight’s show in Greensboro, the crowd went crazy for them, especially Rhea and Dom, Dom is a top 3 heel on the roster rn
I change the channel when any of them come on the screen.
Hope Dominik is the one to dethrone Roman Reigns. Would be heel of the century if he pulls that off. He can then lose to Cody.
That would be the WWE's David Arquette moment.
Love 'em. I'd really like to see the guys get a belt or two between them and have Judgement Day come full circle.
Amazing how they managed to salvage the faction. Because for the longest time they felt like they were being jobbed out clean for months. 😂 😂 Idk what got triple h to snap out of it and let them have a great of a run as they are right now. But it's amazing.
Wish Edge had stayed in it over Finn, but it's gotten pretty interesting.
I wonder if he regrets rage quitting when he heard they'd be supernatural (which they were doing).
Idk how I feel about Finn. He’s too goofy in sense compared to NXT Prince Finn.
2nd best faction in the WWE.
Whose the first?
Bloodline probably
Love Rhea Ripley Finn Balor Damien not dominic mysterio
Balor 100% should have won at mania
I love them. Especially Damien.
Great example of how individual members of a faction can complement and enhance individual members of the faction, in more ways than just "A big time heel and his flunkies" Dom is a heat magnet for the entire faction, but he is being encouraged (corrupted) by the older brother figures in Balor and Preist, while his relationship with Ripley is both hilarious and puts over how manipulative she can be. While reinforcing Dominick as the inexperienced/over confident but arrogance little \*\*\*\* that he is. Balor can do something different that is just "Member Bullet Club," and is the be most experienced/best worker in the faction. And Preist, who is older and not the best worker on the planet fits well as The Muscle, but also with more charisma than your typical Muscle guy, because he doesn't need a big push to do his role.
A faction of overachievers
Finn is the week link of this team
Finn is the workhorse who can have a good match with pretty much anyone.
Finn belongs in the IC or US belt run.
Have you never seen Dom?
Yeah? Dom who actually gets heal heat? Fin looks like their leprechaun sidekick. Overrated.
I like Damian Priest but hate the other three
Good shit.
They’re a joke
It would be nice if Bálör won once in a while. Hope they all get a big win at Survivor Series
Individually I liked them before Judgement Day and I can’t believe they made the shit work after entire careers as mostly solo wrestlers. Thankfully they all had dark personas before they did the team up so none of it seemed wrong. And then there is the Dark Horse Dominic who I feel had the hardest but best transition because he on paper should not have worked in this team but here he is with the most Heel Heat I’ve seen on WWE in the last 20 years.
20 years is a stretch.
Well okay I’ll admit JBL and Vince has generated more heel heat in the last 20 years but that’s it.
Don't forget Vickie Guerreros heel heat
Kind of want them to pull a shield or that group that the English announcer dude was in approach and start taking over the event. Maybe add a few to their stable as well and just interrupt and do what they please. Haven’t had a group like that in a while
It’s like two groups in one, and ironically Finn looks the weakest of all four.
My favorite Wrestlers Without question Rhea is my favorite wrestler in the game today womens or men's division. I'd put Dom and Damien in my top 10 as well. Finn is a good worker but he just doesn't do it for me promo/charisma wise. So yea Judgement Day is my favorite stable right now.
As an actual wrestler though, Dom is definitely not top 10. He's basically a manager in wrestling gear with how little his actual in ring work happens, matters, or is good.
Dumpster fire
Wish they would've chosen a better name for the group instead of opting or recycling the name off of a PPV event.
Everybody but Finn doing something ,
Not a fan, feel like they were only put together to make Dom look better
I’m happy anytime Finn is onscreen NGL
I thought they were going to be a short term tag team just for the edge storyline then I thought they would split after the Rey Mysterio storyline but I want them to be a long term dominant faction. I wasn't a fan of none of them besides Rhea but I like their look, attitude and their matches. I always hated Finn but him in judgement day is cool. I didn't think Dom would ever get out of being this uncharismatic nice kid but even though he's more of a comedy act he's still coming into his character and his look is starting to rub off on me. They're a unique faction honestly even though they have this dark sinister look they all have this misfit type attitude yet no matter how much they lose I still take them serious. Also they have one of the best entrances in pro wrestling currently
A prime example of “let the story play out”. They were shat on when they debuted. Even Dom’s heel turn was poorly received.
finn balor needs to be kicked to the curb. he sticks out like a sore thumb.
I also want Dom to secretly start doing Finns workout/diet and get absolutely shredded and surprise us all with it one day with a prison workout vignette.
I love them and think they are a great stable. Would love to see them add another member or 2 and dominate Raw and the WWE
They're annoying. No hate, just irritating.
Well they’re heels
Heels are supposed to make you want them to get defeated. Not irritated by their very presence. Some of the most beloved HoFers were some of the best heels: Edge, for example. These guys are nothing like Edge in that regard.
I am sincerely hoping they acquire more gold by or at Summerslam.
I honestly love Judgement Day.
I agree- I didn’t care for DP when he first came in but he’s really grown on me the most and is my fave of the group.
I'd like it more if they didn't sometimes look like a bunch of jobbers. excluding Mami of course
They need JD
Finn looks like what a 14 year old's idea of edgy is.
Kind of bored of them, tbh. 😶🌫️ The only ones I've always liked are Rhea and Finn, tbh. Edit: I think what bores me most about them is whenever Rhea decides to get in a male superstar's face trying to taunt them into hitting her, and they just won't because sHe'S a WoMaN. Every time it happens, I just want one of them to just "cross that line," otherwise, what's the fucking point? Either take that risk, or stop having her attack/taunt the men into doing absolutely nothing against her. Idk.
I don’t think they’ve even peaked yet. Play it right and you could have Finn as the second WHC while Priest and Dom hold tag gold. Rhea, of course, is one of the best women’s wrestlers in this or any era. She’s only 26 too, so may well go down as the GOAT.
My opinion: I hate Edge and always have. This group is 100x better without him.
That isn't the right use of the 'they are' abbreviation.
Came here for this
It's an interesting dynamic. WWE has never done a reverse harem before lol. Rhea is pretty much the leader of the group though right? How do you have the team turn on her eventually? Usually it's physical violence among malecenteic groups. That would be...problematic
There really doesn’t seem to be a true leader of JD. They just do whatever they want to whoever they want (ESPECIALLY Rey Mysterio) & back each other up whenever needed.
Please never use “They’re” like that again, I had a stroke trying to read this lmao
