Former Judgment Day member contemplates strategic partnership with Damian Priest and The Usos as title defense against Liv Morgan approaches.
Rhea Ripley’s trajectory in WWE faces a pivotal moment following her departure from The Judgment Day. After her on-screen relationship ended due to betrayal and Liv Morgan’s alignment with the faction, The Nightmare prepares for her Women’s World Championship defense on January 6, 2025.
The title match, scheduled for RAW’s Netflix debut, represents a crucial juncture in Ripley’s career. Recent developments suggest potential new alliances forming, as evidenced by social media activity showing Ripley celebrating Christmas with Damian Priest and Jimmy Uso.
This social gathering has fueled speculation about a possible coalition between Ripley, Priest, and The Usos. Such an alliance could serve multiple purposes, providing Ripley with support against The Judgment Day while helping The Usos address their ongoing issues with Drew McIntyre, who has targeted the OG Bloodline since his return.
As the Netflix premiere approaches, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan has expressed confidence about her upcoming defense against Ripley. Taking to social media platform X, Morgan made a bold declaration about the significance of their January 6 encounter:
On January 6th, I prove that I am the GREATEST Women’s World Champion of alllllllll time.
The championship match at the Intuit Dome marks their sixth televised confrontation since 2022. Their competitive history shows Ripley leading with three television victories, while Morgan has secured two wins during non-televised events. This latest chapter in their rivalry coincides with WWE’s transition to its new streaming platform.
