Rhea Ripley confirms character change ahead of WWE SummerSlam

Rhea Ripley appeared on the Kick-off show ahead of WWE SummerSlam earlier today where she looked ahead to her bout against Liv Morgan. The Women's World Champion seemingly made a quick exit from the building before Mami's arrival, which allowed Ripley to cut her own promo without interruption.

The Eradicator noted that she was upset about the way that Morgan had gone about her business and that she had messed with her family. She also claimed that she loved Dominik Mysterio and that Morgan had crossed the line.

Ripley asked the WWE Universe in attendance if her actions were justified before shaking hands with Michael Cole and Pat McAfee on her way off the stage.

It was clear from her actions on the Kick-off show that she is now seen as a face. Mami was cheered and asked about her potential relationship with Jey Uso, to which she responded that he was "alright."

You can check out the SummerSlam Kick-off show in the video below:

Ripley and Priest were firm fan favorites on the Kick-off show, which makes sense because Morgan and Gunther are the heels heading into their respective title matches at the premium live event.

Is The Judgment Day now a face team on WWE RAW following Rhea Ripley's Return?

Damian Priest has been slowly turning face since Rhea Ripley's injury hiatus from WWE and it's clear that he is seen as the underdog heading into SummerSlam. His back story has been used as a major part of the build-up to the match and the crowd appear to be heavily behind him.

It is likely that The Judgment Day is slowly turning face. If Rhea Ripley is betrayed by Dominik Mysterio tomorrow night at SummerSlam then it could complete her face turn culminating in the group being fractured. Mysterio would be considered the heel with possibly Liv Morgan and some of the other members of the faction by his side.

It seems that Ripley is now a firm fan favorite following her WWE return.
