Rhea Ripley shocked Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan by making her return on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. The Eradicator returned during the post-match victory celebration of Dirty Dom and Morgan. Mami's return terrified the current Women's World Champion, who retreated to the crowd to save herself, leaving Dirty Dom alone in the ring to have a confrontation with The Eradicator.

The 27-year-old star tried to justify himself to Mami but the latter was in no mood to hear him. However, amid this, Damian Priest seemed to be the only Judgment Day member who supported Rhea Ripley following her return.


Damian Priest may have already known about Rhea Ripley's RAW return

Before Rhea Ripley made her return in the closing moments of the red brand, Damian Priest was seen backstage on a phone call, asking the person on the other end of the line where they were. Later, in the main event, Mami made her arrival on RAW, suggesting that the current World Heavyweight Champion was speaking with the former Women's World Champion during that call.

This indicates that Ripley and Priest might have been actively communicating despite Rhea being on a hiatus from the Stamford-based promotion.

The return of Mami came as a major shock to Dominik Mysterio, but it seems Damian was already aware of her impending return. This shows that The Archer of Infamy has a close connection with Rhea Ripley right now compared to the other Judgment Day members.


Damian Priest is the only one who is against Liv Morgan's involvement in The Judgment Day

In the absence of Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan has attempted to integrate herself into everything The Eradicator loves, including Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day. Initially, Dirty Dom sought to distance himself from the current Women's World Champion, but he eventually became comfortable with her, as evidenced by their recent participation in a mixed tag team match on RAW.

Additionally, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh were initially opposed to Liv's involvement in The Judgment Day. However, when she assisted them in winning the World Tag Team Championship, they began to support her.

Amid these developments, Damian Priest is the only member who is clearly against Liv's inclusion. He has even opposed Dominik and Finn's interactions with her.


Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley could be turning babyface soon

Another reason why Damian Priest is the sole member of The Judgment Day who has Rhea Ripley's back is that both of them could be turning babyfaces soon. The Eradicator could become a heroic character during her feud with Liv Morgan leading up to SummerSlam 2024.

Meanwhile, Damian Priest has already been showing hints of turning into a babyface character. This makes it seemingly clear that Priest and Ripley are on the same page, unlike the other members of the villainous faction.
