10-time champion switch sides and join The Judgment Day at WWE Crown Jewel 2023? Exploring potential swerve
We are inching closer to WWE Crown Jewel, and we may see a huge betrayal unfold at the upcoming premium live event involving top RAW Superstars.
Cody Rhodes brought Jey Uso back on Monday Night RAW after the former Bloodline member 'quit' SmackDown and WWE. The two even won the Undisputed Tag Team Championship after defeating The Judgment Day's Finn Balor and Damian Priest but lost the gold in less than ten days in a rematch.
This week on RAW, Cody Rhodes confronted Balor and Priest inside the ring but was soon cornered by the heel faction. Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio made their way to the squared circle while The American Nightmare tried to fight off the tag team champions.
This set up Jey Uso's arrival, who attacked Dominik Mysterio in his path before, as the internet puts it -- rizzing up Rhea Ripley. The multi-time champion has not shied away from showing interest in Ripley, often openly flirting with the reigning Women's World Champion.
The Eradicator has also spent the last few weeks cutting deals and manipulating match results to benefit The Judgment Day. She could make another genius move by having Jey Uso betray Cody Rhodes for The Judgment Day at Crown Jewel.
Rhodes will lock horns with Damian Priest in a singles match at Crown Jewel. Rhea Ripley could use his chemistry with Jey to set up a potential turn and the latter's future involvement in The Judgment Day.
Interestingly, it also leaves room for an exciting love triangle involving Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio. Fans have loved Jey's interactions with Ripley on RAW, which could lead to a new story on the red brand.
Rhea Ripley has a huge title defense scheduled for WWE Crown Jewel 2023
While Rhea Ripley has been occupied with caring for The Judgment Day, the heel stable's leader has a massive match awaiting her at Crown Jewel.
The Women's World Champion is booked to defend her gold in a fatal five-way match on November 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The promising title bout will see Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez, and Zoey Stark challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship. However, Ripley is confident in retaining her gold, at least until WWE Elimination Chamber in February 2024, which will take place in Australia.
