Rhea Ripley to cause title change before Bad Blood; massive return after 920 days? - 5 ways The Judgment Day vs. The New Day can end on RAW next week
The New Day will challenge The Judgment Day on next week's episode of WWE RAW among Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest's heated rivalry with the heel group. A lot can happen during the upcoming battle.
This week's WWE RAW featured a backstage segment where JD McDonagh claimed that his faction has not forgotten about The New Day. He reiterated that The Judgment Day runs the tag team division. A World Tag Team Championship match was thus announced with the challengers being The New Day's Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.
Below are five ways the upcoming title match could meet its end.
#5. The Judgment Day wins clean
Regardless of their character orientation, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh have always been portrayed as a strong unit together. Considering the recent developments, the same may not be said about The New Day.
While Odyssey Jones was released by the Stamford-based company, his involvement with The New Day teased several tensions between Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. If the company plans to continue the storyline, the miscommunication between the partners could cause them to cleanly lose to Finn Balor and JD McDonagh.
#4. The New Day wins clean
While a breakup has been teased, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods showcased unity when they defeated The Final Testament on a recent episode of WWE RAW. They may have handled their issues to become a stronger unit than ever.
Considering that The Judgment Day is already involved in a heated rivalry with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, it may be sensible to take the World Tag Team Championship away from the heel group in order to give other tag teams a chance to feud over the gold. A clean win for The New Day could ensure an end to the rivalry without disturbing the ongoing rivalry between former Judgment Day stablemates.
#3. The Judgment Day wins via disqualification
As mentioned earlier, The Judgment Day is currently involved in multiple feuds. Considering the happenings of the last few episodes of the red brand, there is a high chance of Rhea Ripley or Damian Priest's involvement next week.
If The Terror Twins interfere in the ongoing battle and attack Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, the heels will win the match via disqualification. This could enrage The New Day, potentially starting a fierce rivalry between the three popular factions. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston could also turn heel after years during this potential rivalry.
#2. Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest cause a title change
Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest have been keen on causing eternal damage to their former Judgment Day stablemates. The heat will potentially lead to an interference on next week's episode of WWE RAW.
While the ending via disqualification seems more likely, the Stamford-based promotion could surprise fans if Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest manage to ensure The Judgment Day does not walk out as the World Tag Team Champions. This scenario will take the ongoing rivalry to a whole new level. The Terror Twins could also earn new allies in The New Day.
#1. Big E returns to WWE RAW
Big E has stayed tight-lipped about his potential return date if the comeback is possible at all. However, he has shared positive updates in recent months, hinting he could soon return to in-ring action in WWE.
If the return is possible, the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW is the perfect time for it. The Judgment Day will likely use help from Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan, so, Big E could return to neutralize the numbers game. The return will be received with a thunderous reaction, potentially crowning The New Day as the new World Tag Team Champions.
