WHY DOESN'T JUDGMENT DAY END IN WWE?
Since its inception, Judgment Day has established itself as much more than just a WWE villain stable. Even after the departure of important names like Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, who went solo after betrayals and internal disputes, the group remains alive and strong, proving its incredible capacity for reinvention. But why doesn't Judgment Day end?
One of the reasons given for Judgment Day's longevity is its cohesive structure. Unlike other recent stables, Judgment Day has a very well-defined identity, both in its gimmick and in the name and positioning of each member. This solidity means that, even after departures or changes, the group quickly reorganizes itself and continues to be relevant.
In addition, Judgment Day has become almost a "luxury internship program" in WWE: it takes names that could get lost in the middle of the roster and transforms them into fundamental pieces. This was the case with Damian Priest, who reinvented himself and became world champion after leaving the group, and also with Rhea Ripley, who achieved “Mami” status and became one of the biggest female stars of today.
The role of Judgment Day goes far beyond dominating fights or accumulating titles; it is a growth platform for fighters who, otherwise, might fall into oblivion or even be fired. Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan and even Roxanne Perez are examples of talents who found in Judgment Day a chance to elevate their status and gain television time, protecting their relevance within the company.
For this reason, the group has become a true springboard: when the fighter reaches their peak and gains enough strength, they naturally break away from the group, ready to pursue an independent career. This is how Damian and Rhea became big names, and this is what could happen in the future with the current members.
Of course, the history of Judgment Day would not be as rich without internal tensions. The case of Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio's kiss, for example, shook the group and caused friction. Finn Bálor also got in the way of Damian Priest when he tried to win Gunther's title, generating internal rivalries. However, these tensions are far from destroying the stable; they end up fueling the public's curiosity and making the storyline even more interesting.
If recent history is anything to go by, Judgment Day should remain strong, welcoming and molding new talents who need to stand out in WWE. At the same time, it serves as a showcase to boost individual careers, always keeping the door open for transformations and betrayals that renew the stories. Ultimately, Judgment Day will not end because it has become a fundamental part of WWE: it reinvents, transforms and projects stars who, without the group, might never shine.
