When Rhea Ripley came out on Monday Night RAW to issue a soft challenge to Bianca Belair two days after winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship off of Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, it drew a variety of different reactions from the WWE Universe. Sure, after entertaining over 80,000 fans on Saturday evening at SoFi Stadium, […]

To call WrestleMania 39 anything other than a resounding success for Rhea Ripley would be a lie. Though the rest of her Judgement Day pals came up short, with Dominik Mysterio losing to Rey Mysterio earlier in Day 1 and “The Demon” Finn Balor dropping a stunner in the penultimate match of Day 2, Ripley […]

Charlotte Flair is a WWE legend. She’s won more world championships than any other woman in WWE history, has headlined “Premium Live Events” across the country, and will eventually join fellow WrestleMania performers Lita, Trish Stratus, and Rey Mysterio in the Hall of Fame when she decides to hang up her robes for good. But […]

With WrestleMania 39 officially here, the entire WWE Universe is preparing itself for what might just be one of the biggest shows in the promotion’s history. Three record-length title reigns are on the line, young, hungry stars are looking to unseat older legends, and with just seven matches set to go down on Night 1 […]

While Rhea Ripley has been busy as of late accompanying Dominik Mysterio to the ring, discussing her desire to wrestle for the Intercontinental Championship, and just generally serving as the public face of The Judgement Day ahead of a choice spot at WrestleMania 39, one thing “The Eradicator” can’t forget about is the actual task […]

As Rhea Ripley prepares for arguably the biggest match of her career, one would think she is totally and solely focused on securing the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, right? I mean, with the match all but certainly set to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania and the SmackDown title on the line, Ripley […]

When Charlotte Flair took the ring for a pre-WrestleMania 39 promo on SmackDown, the reaction she received from the crowd was classic Charlotte Flair. She received “what?” chants, she got booed, and through it all, the SmackDown Women’s Champion was largely unflappable, talking about her dad, talking about her legacy, and, most importantly of all, […]

Rhea Ripley is not someone folks typically want to mess with within the WWE Universe. She’s a powerhouse who can slam Luke Gallows, a dominant performer who has won 90 percent of her matches in 2023, and potentially the SmackDown Women’s Champion if she’s able to take care of business against the Charlotte Flair at […]

As the card for WrestleMania 39 rapidly comes into focus, with a “WrestleMania Showcase Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match” booked featuring The Street Profits, Braun Strowman/Ricochet, The Viking Raiders, and the Alpha Academy just booked ahead of the penultimate RAW before “The Showcase of the Immortals,” fans are eagerly anticipating which match will fall on […]

With a little over two weeks left until WWE unleashes “The Showcase of the Immortals” on Los Angeles for the 39th running of WrestleMania, wrestlers from all over the two-night card are shooting their shot in an attempt to get some sort of an advantage over their opponents. Fortunately, with hours upon hours upon hours […]

Before she was the “eradicator” of The Judgement Day, before she was the winner of the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble, and before she chose Charlotte Flair as he opponent for WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley was tag teaming with Liv Morgan on RAW. Though they never quite got themselves over as a duo worthy of long-term […]

At the 2023 Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan nearly made history when she outlasted 28 other women as the second entrant to come one elimination away from punching her ticket to WrestleMania 39. Does Morgan hold her loss against Rhea Ripley, the “The Eradicator” of The Judgement Day who’s priming for a big-time match with Charlotte […]

After powering through a fast-paced first hour of SmackDown, the WWE Universe waited with bated breath to finally see Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair stand in the same ring and talk some smack heading into their WrestleMania 39 match. Flair came out first and delivered the opening blows of what many expected to be an […]

Though things didn’t go the way The Judgement Day wanted at the Elimination Chamber, with Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest ending their respective matches with their shoulder on that mat, the faction isn’t in dire straights, as their “Nightmare” still has her ticket punched to WrestleMania after winning the Women’s Royal Rumble. Afforded […]

Whenever Edge is in WWE, he more-or-less has his mind set on one singular thing: finishing off the faction he started back in 2022, The Judgement Day. Though he isn’t a full-time performer in WWE at this point in the game, with Edge showing up on RAW roughly half the time between Kayfabe and real […]

If it’s a holiday, WWE fans can more or less expect Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley to have something up their collective sleeve to try to rain on Rey Mysterio’s day. Now granted, their schemes don’t always work, as Mysterio famously landed in prison on Christmas because of a failed trick on his “deadbeat dad,” […]

With the second RAW post the Royal Rumble officially over, it’s hard to look at any faction as having a better night within the WWE Universe than Judgement Day. Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley secured a match with Edge and Beth Phoenix at the Elimination Chamber “Premium Live Event,” Damian Priest punched his ticket to […]

When Edge and Finn Balor went toe-to-toe at Extreme Rules in an I Quit match, few expected to see your run-of-the-mill WWE match. Facing off after months of back-and-forth banter and a change in management atop the Judgement Day by way of Balor’s trickery, the two men weren’t going to win their match by submission, […]

After finally taking care of Sonya Deville in their SmackDown-broadcasted rematch for the WWE SmackDown Women”s Championship, Megan Morant caught up with Charlotte Flair to see how she felt about Rhea Ripley declaring her intentions to wrestle the second-generation star at WrestleMania 39. Fortunately, Flair was down to talk but not before she shouted out […]

Though she didn’t make an appearance on the first edition of RAW post-Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair sent in a video package to the fine folks at WWE to let the rest of the women in the locker room know that she’s ready to take on any challenger who’s willing to put in the work. “Now, […]

Despite entering the Royal Rumble at spot number one after taking a beating at the hands of Beth Phoenix before the match even began, Rhea Ripley went the distance, set a new record for the longest time alive in the match’s history, and ultimately won the whole darn thing with a one-two elimination of Asuka […]

Rhea Ripley is an Australian professional wrestler currently signed with WWE. She is a true young star for the company, being just 26 years old at this time. Before WWE, Ripley spent four years on the independent circuit, before becoming a part of the biggest wrestling company in the world. Now, she is one of […]

Rhea Ripley made WWE history, becoming the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble at No. 1 and win. Ripley’s win became even more impressive after the Judgment Day star revealed she suffered an injury in the middle of the Rumble. In going coast-to-coast, Ripley made even more history, spending a record-breaking one hour, one […]

Heading into the first “Premium Live Event” of the calendar year, Rhea Ripley made a bold prediction that regardless of where she was picked to enter the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble, “The Nightmare” would run the table and secure the win and a spot main eventing one of the two nights of WrestleMania 39. Unfortunately […]

Chelsea Green signing with WWE was one of the worst-kept secrets in professional wrestling. Initially fired by the company during the pandemic roster-trimming alongside her husband Matt Cardona, known to the WWE Universe as Zack Ryder, Green spent her time off working in Impact Wrestling alongside Deonna Purrazzo and the rest of “The Cardona Family” […]

The Royal Rumble is all about career-defining moments and massive returns, and at the 2023 running of the event, WWE got two birds with one stone via the return of Edge, who emerged from the back three spots after Booker T at pick 24. Making his first in-ring appearance since Extreme Rules in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, […]

A lot of things changed in the world of wrestling in 2022. Nothing was more shocking, though, when Vince McMahon stepped down as CEO and Chairman of WWE. Since then, his son-in-law Triple H has been head of creative duties for WWE, which, in my humble opinion, has been going very well. Fans have noticed […]

After sitting through a very long Tribal Court segment to start RAW XXX, Rhea Ripley and The Judgement Day went down to the ring in the hopes of finally being the team who unseats The Usos as the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. Unfortunately, a totally legitimate Jimmy foot injury shook things up for Dominik […]

When Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley attacked Rey Mysterio on Thanksgiving in front of Mrs. Mysterio, and the Mysterio-ettes, it took the WWE Universe by storm. Millions watched the incident transpire from their dining room tables, couches, or bathrooms alike, and through it all, one question rose above all others: why did Mysterio and Ripley […]

After trying to get A.J. Styles to turn to the dark side of the Heel-Babyface paradigm for weeks, Finn Balor finally got a chance to face off against his fellow former Bullet Club leader at a WWE “Premium Live Event” and needless to say, the match was great. Sandwiched between a firey female WarGames match […]

Thanksgiving is a day to get together, grab some food, and celebrate family, but what if you think your father is a no-good, deadbeat piece of you-know-what? Well, if you’re Dominik Mysterio and your father is Rey Mysterio, you bring your new female friend to dinner whether you’re invited or not – plus a WWE […]

With Survivor Series officially less than two weeks away, Rhea Ripley is set to pull double duty in the WWE Universe, as the enforcer of Judgement Day will all but surely back up her faction-mate Finn Balor in his one-on-one grudge match against fellow former Bullet Club leader A.J. Styles before taking part in the […]

Folks, as crazy as it may sound, WWE’s next “Premium Live Event,” Survivor Series, is just two weeks away, and already, the teams for the event’s two premier matches, a male and female version of WarGames, are slowly coming into focus. First came the addition of Nikki Cross, who left her almost-a-superhero ways on SmackDown […]

As improbable as it may have sounded a few months ago, Judgement Day might just be the most cohesive unit on the RAW brand, serving as an interesting foil to SmackDown‘s Bloodline, which features the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. They worked in a cohesive manner, with rapid-fire tags and impeccable in-ring psychology, […]

Rey Mysterio is having a tough time in the WWE Universe. His friendship with Edge has hit a snag since his son, Dominik Mysterio, turned on the “Rated R Superstar” at Clash at the Castle, his goings on are constantly being messed with by Judgement Day, and his home life can’t be all that great […]

When a certain vignette started airing on WWE television, first at Money in the Bank and then on basically every single media channel the Billion Dollar Brand has at their disposal, it felt like only a matter of time before Edge made his way back into the ring. Though the video didn’t explicitly announce the […]

After weeks of back and forth tag team bouts with The Mysterios – Rey, and Dominik – on WWE‘s RAW, Judgement Day finally returned to full strength at Madison Square Garden, where, after dropping another match to the first father-son tag team champions in WWE history, none other than Rhea Ripley took to the backstage […]

Rhea Ripley is a fantastic talent in a WWE ring. She has a fantastic image, a charismatic presence, and enough talent on the mic to make fans cheer or boo depending on her intentions. From her impressive run in NXT to her early success in WWE and her eventual run as the female member of […]

When news broke that Rhea Ripley was out for Money in the Bank with an undisclosed injury, it sent minor shockwaves through the WWE Universe and generated a ton of questions. Why was Ripley unable to go at MitB? Does it have to do with her teeth? And what about Bianca Belair, the woman she […]
