"That's a group of kids playing" - 7-time WWE champion believes The Judgment Day is over
A popular 7-time WWE champion recently discussed what he thought about The Judgment Day's current run. The champion being referred to is Damian Priest.
Priest has been signed with WWE since 2018. He started performing for the company's developmental brand, NXT, where he became the North American Champion. The Archer of Infamy was called up to the main roster in 2021 and went on to make a massive name for himself by winning several titles, including the WWE United States Championship, the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and the World Heavyweight Championship.
During a recent interview with the Casual Conversations with The Classic podcast, Damian Priest was asked what he thought about the current Judgment Day after his and Rhea Ripley's departure.
The Archer of Infamy said that he believed Finn Balor's faction was just a group of kids playing and they are not The Judgment Day.
"They could call themselves The Judgment Day all they want; that’s not The Judgment Day; that’s a group of kids playing," he said. [From 9:54 - 10:02]

WWE star Damian Priest believes The Judgment Day will push each other "into the ground"
During the same podcast, WWE Superstar Damian Priest mentioned that The Judgment Day was trying hard to be a group and hang out together.
Priest added that he believed the faction was not the same since his and Rhea Ripley's departure, before saying that Finn Balor's teammates would eventually push each other into the ground.
"I don't call them anything, they're individuals, that's not a group. They're a group of individuals that are trying to hang out together and be something they are not. They're not us. Rhea [Ripley] and I were The Judgment Day, we were The Judgment Day, without us, there's none. So they could call themselves whatever they want, they could switch up the look, it's silly to me that they still want to be called that and you're not. And the idea of them pushing each other to be the top personality in the company, it's not going to happen. I think they're just to push each other into the ground, and Rhea and I are just going to walk over them when that happens," said Priest.
Damian Priest is the number-one contender for Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship. It will be interesting to see if The Archer of Infamy will be able to add another World Title to his name.
