Rhea Ripley opens up about emotional split from The Judgment Day, finding new purpose in WWE

Rhea Ripley recently discussed her emotional departure from The Judgment Day stable in WWE. After returning from an injury, Ripley was betrayed by her boyfriend Dominik Mysterio and most of her stablemates at SummerSlam. This betrayal cost her a shot at regaining the Women’s World Championship and left her with only Damian Priest as an ally.

Ripley revealed that The Judgment Day was like a family to her and significantly boosted her career. She admitted to crying backstage after the split, describing it as a deeply emotional experience. Ripley explained that the stable helped her feel more comfortable performing in front of crowds and called her time with them the most fun she’s had in her career, even feeling “invincible” during that period.

Despite the sadness of leaving The Judgment Day, Ripley has found a new purpose in opposing her former allies. She now refers to them as “street trash” and is enjoying her time “brutalizing” the group. Ripley’s comments highlight the personal impact of storyline developments in professional wrestling and how they can affect performers emotionally.
