Rhea Ripley maintains The Judgment Day’s leaderless facade, but her authority within the formidable faction is undeniable. Despite JD McDonagh’s enlistment before the Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event, his affiliation with the group faces uncertainty, disputed by R-Truth.

A consequential No Disqualification Match on RAW ensued, declaring the loser’s departure from The Judgment Day, ultimately resulting in R-Truth’s triumph.

Despite Truth’s declaration, JD McDonagh remains a crucial part of The Judgment Day, as confirmed by Rhea Ripley herself during a live edition of the Notsam Wrestling podcast. The Irish Ace’s status within the faction was officially affirmed after a fan referenced the pivotal ‘Loser Leaves Judgment Day’ match.

Rhea Ripley said, “I’m pretty sure Mami makes the rules and JD (McDonagh) is in.”

She insinuated that the ex-24/7 Champion wasn’t part of the group, claiming he trespassed into The Judgment Day’s clubhouse. The dynamics might shift if R-Truth shares Mami’s portion of his merchandise earnings with Ripley.

From a logical standpoint, Rhea Ripley’s entry into the Men’s Royal Rumble Match might seem unusual. However, considering Mami’s potential participation, it could serve to assert dominance and settle tensions with Damian Priest.

Recent discord within The Judgment Day suggests Mami may view eliminating Priest from the Rumble as a means for him to learn a lesson, as hinted by her liking a fan’s tweet proposing the idea.

The prospect of Rhea Ripley facing comeuppance from a male WWE Superstar introduces an intriguing dynamic. While Randy Orton’s absence in the Rumble match is noted, the idea of a Superkick from Jey Uso or a GTS from CM Punk adds excitement, considering Mami’s resilience to such punishment.
