Disappointing update on Judgment Day's WWE future - Reports
A recent update on Judgment Day's future in WWE is sure to leave many of the group's fans disappointed. Rumors suggest that Damian Priest could leave the faction down the line and get into a feud with his current stablemates.
Judgment Day has been dealing with turmoil within the faction ever since Rhea Ripley went on a hiatus from WWE due to a shoulder injury. Damian Priest and Finn Balor, especially, have gotten into frequent arguments backstage that have raised doubts over the stable's future. Since the seeds of the faction's implosion have been laid, it's safe to assume it's only a matter of time before things go to a head.
As per a recent update by the insider account, Xero News, The Archer of Infamy could be feuding with his Judgment Day stablemates, meaning his exit from the faction is just around the horizon.
Check out the tweet below:
"Priest will feud with The Judgment Day very soon."
Damian Priest is currently slated to defend his World Heavyweight Title against the recently returned Seth Rollins at next month's Money in the Bank 2024.
Jim Cornette is not convinced by Damian Priest's run as the World Heavyweight Champion in WWE
On a recent edition of his Drive-Thru podcast, Jim Ross shared his reservations about Damian Priest's slow-burn turn towards the good side. The former WWE manager explained that he was unable to buy into The Judgment Day member's run as a champion and that he believed he didn't seem "comfortable" in the role.
"I hate to say it because they're doing what we wanted them to do, which is make him more credible as a singles guy. Is it he just hasn't got comfortable yet to do his own thing or is this his own thing? I don't know, maybe they're telling him to say many of these things."
Facing Seth Rollins would be the biggest test of Damian Priest's title run yet, especially since it was the latter himself who put the challenge forward to Rollins. Defeating The Messiah all by himself at Money in the Bank 2024 could further solidify Priest's position as a valiant champion, who fans could root for.
