4 WWE stars who could replace Dominik Mysterio in The Judgment Day
The Judgment Day has been a top stable in WWE for two and a half years now. The faction first formed under Edge, but has gone through numerous changes over the years, with The Rated R Superstar, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest all booted from the group.
Currently, the stable is bigger than ever. Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez make up the faction. Both Liv and the duo of Finn and JD currently hold gold.
Unfortunately, there has been a lot of tension within The Judgment Day. This was further proven when Finn Balor posted an image of the stable on social media and purposely left out several members from the group, including Dominik Mysterio.
Some are now under the belief that Finn has kicked Liv, Raquel, and Dirty Dom out of the stable. While that's not confirmed, it is certainly likely given the recent tension between members. This article will take a look at four male performers who could potentially replace Mysterio if he has indeed been booted out of the faction.
Below are four WWE stars who could replace Dominik Mysterio in The Judgment Day.
#4. Pete Dunne could use some friends
Pete Dunne is one of the most intense and physical wrestlers in WWE. He started his time in the company in the United Kingdom Championship Tournament and then NXT UK. From there, he moved to NXT and later to both SmackDown and RAW.
The Bruiserweight has gone through quite a few friends on WWE's main roster. He felt Sheamus and Ridge Holland abandoned him when he was part of The Brawling Brutes. His long-time friend, rival, and partner Tyler Bate suffered an injury this year, which led to Pete being alone yet again.
Dunne is making enemies out of everybody, yet doesn't have friends to back him up. That could change if he were to join The Judgment Day. His ruthless attitude would fit in nicely with The Prince and The Irish Ace, while Carlito could still provide comic relief.
#3. Drew McIntyre could lead the stable
Drew McIntyre is a top star in WWE. He has held multiple world titles since 2020 and had held mid-card gold, tag team championships, and the NXT Title before his return to the main roster. He is one of the best-known and most interesting characters in all of pro wrestling.
The Scottish Psychopath hasn't been seen on WWE television for over a month now. He last appeared at Bad Blood 2024 where he battled CM Punk in one of the most brutal and bloody Hell in a Cell Matches in decades.
Whenever Drew returns, he'll do so in a big way. Perhaps the most interesting direction for Drew upon returning is becoming the leader of The Judgment Day. With Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Carlito behind him, McIntyre will make a far bigger splash than Dominik Mysterio could.
#2. Braun Strowman could return to WWE television as a heel
Braun Strowman is an absolute behemoth. The big man towers over almost everyone else in WWE. As a result of his incredible size and strength, Braun has won multiple titles, including the prized Universal Championship.
The Monster Of All Monsters suffered a groin injury during a Last Monster Standing Match with Bronson Reed on an episode of WWE RAW. After many weeks away, Braun returned to action in a dark match at the SmackDown tapings.
While he actually battled The Judgment Day in his dark match return, the bout isn't canon. In what could be a fun twist, Braun could return to RAW as a heel and shockingly align himself with The Judgment Day. This would provide the group with muscle they've never had before, which would be bad news for their opposition.
#1. Ludwig Kaiser could ditch Gunther
Ludwig Kaiser is a hated WWE star. Known for calling himself an A+ Specimen, Kaiser has been part of Imperium for the bulk of his time on NXT, NXT UK, SmackDown, and RAW. His leader is and has been Gunther.
Unfortunately, there has been some tension between Ludwig and The Ring General. Gunther has been showing more sportsmanship as of late, while Kaiser has been more disrespectful to The Ring General's WWE foes. This has since led to Gunther scolding Kaiser on more than one occasion.
In what could be a shocking swerve, Ludwig Kaiser could turn on Gunther, leaving what is left of Imperium for The Judgment Day. Finn, JD, and Ludwig could then bring European Excellence to Monday Night RAW without Gunther's involvement.
