The Judgment Day with new World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio are shown entering the arena earlier today.

The Judgment Day celebrates their WrestleMania successes

Finn Bálor, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh of the Judgment Day are standing in the ring. The crowd is loudly booing them. Bálor says to all the haters, doubters, the people who thought Rhea couldn’t beat Becky Lynch, and the people who thought Damian Priest would never cash in Money in the Bank and become Señor World Heavyweight Champion, they were all wrong. Bálor laughs at the crowd. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio grabs the microphone to LOUD boos. Mysterio shouts, “And STILL Women’s World Champion, my Mami, Rhea Ripley!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring. Ripley gets in the ring and embraces her Judgment Day stablemates. A loud “Mami” chant fires up. Ripley says WrestleMania was almost perfect. They have a few new problems they need to deal with, but two things came out of this weekend. One is that Mami is always on top. The other one is that this is a new era for the Judgment Day. Bálor presents the new World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest.

“ALL RISE!”

World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest makes his way to the ring. As Priest gets in, a “You deserve it” chant picks up. Priest says, “You’re damn right I do.” Priest refers to himself and Ripley as “The Terror Twins.” They always rise to the occasion. The world needs to follow suit and rise for the Judgment Day.

All of a sudden, R-Truth stands between Priest and Ripley with his Raw Tag Team Championship! The crowd roars. Priest says they’re not doing this again. R-Truth says he brought the Raw Tag Team Championship back to the Judgment Day. R-Truth wants to change subjects. They’re a little picky about picking people for the group. R-Truth is only one half of the Raw Tag Team Champs.

Raw Tag Team Champion The Miz makes his way to the ring. The Miz says he doesn’t want to be in Judgment Day. R-Truth doesn’t want to be either. Priest shouts that R-Truth isn’t in the Judgment Day, but R-Truth shouts that he is. The Miz gets in the ring and pulls R-Truth to his side. The crowd chants, “Yes, he is.” Miz says since they’re introducing new champions, he wants to introduce to Judgment Day and Philadelphia the new Raw Tag Team Champions Awesome Truth.

Bálor says it’s funny that Awesome Truth will have the shortest Tag Title reigns. Since they spoiled their celebration, they can put their Raw Tag Team Titles on the line right here and now. R-Truth says they can’t because there are only three of them. Bálor is confused. The Miz asks if R-Truth is talking about a real person and not Little Jimmy. R-Truth says they can have a 6-man Tag Team Match against him, The Miz, and the guy you can’t see. The crowd roars. McDonagh wants to get this right. The two of them and an invisible man against the Judgment Day… McDonagh agrees to the match.

The Miz says he wants to physically see their partner. R-Truth starts to introduce this person, but Judgment Day attacks Miz and R-Truth. R-Truth and Miz are sent out of the ring. The Judgment Day stands tall in the ring.

Backstage Segment

All of a sudden, a chair comes flying and hits Ripley in the head! Liv Morgan is the one who threw it. Morgan viciously attacks Ripley until WWE officials break it up.

Rhea Ripley addresses WrestleMania XL
Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring alongside “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. Ripley has a brace on her left wrist. Ripley is less than two weeks away from facing Becky Lynch with the title on the line at WrestleMania XL. A “Mami” chant picks up. Ripley says to Mysterio that she feels like she’s not getting enough attention. She feels like a certain someone isn’t giving her their full attention. Becky Lynch continues to fight week after week. Ripley could have gotten her attention by attacking her during one of her many matches, but she decided to be respectful. Ripley is getting impatient because WrestleMania is just around the corner. Lynch should be giving Ripley her full attention.

Mysterio takes the microphone, and the crowd starts to loudly boo him. Mysterio says, “Becky…” and Becky Lynch’s music immediately interrupts him. Lynch gets in the ring to a nice ovation. Lynch shouts, “The Man has come around to Chicago!” Lynch stares at her WrestleMania opponent, and a “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says she doesn’t have to wait for Ripley to have a twenty-minute match to feel safe to come out and confront her. That’s what Ripley has done to her. Lynch could never do that because Ripley doesn’t compete on Raw anymore. Ripley asks why she would wrestle before the biggest match of her career. She doesn’t have to prove herself week after week. Lynch says that is the problem. They have two different interpretations of what a champion is. To Ripley, it’s posting her ass online to get attention. To Lynch, it’s busting her ass night in and night out to prove herself. There’s always going to be someone newer, younger, and hotter. The long game is skill, merit, and survival. It’s how you come back from not being the chosen one. Ripley hasn’t experienced that yet. At WrestleMania, the Man will give her a new experience.

Ripley says Lynch is right. She’s been through everything. Lynch is a survivor, but she reminds Ripley of something. Lynch is a cockroach. She’s hard to kill, but it’s not impossible. At WrestleMania, she won’t take it that far because she wants to leave her alive so she can sit on her couch and watch her do what she does. She wants Lynch to sit next to her daughter and listen to her call Ripley “Mami.” Lynch is furious. A “Mami” chant fires up. Lynch says that is Ripley’s one pass. If she ever mentions her daughter again, it’ll be the last words she says. It’s not just a line or funny. Her dad never got to meet her daughter. He was proud of everything she’s done in this ring, but the thing he would be most proud of is the mother she’s become. It might be a joke to Ripley, but it’s not a joke to Lynch. Ripley claims she didn’t attack Lynch out of respect, but there’s no respect in Ripley. She knows if she attacked Lynch, there’s no going back. After WrestleMania, neither of them will be the same again.

Lynch gets in Ripley’s face, but Mysterio backs Ripley up. Mysterio gets in Lynch’s face, and she punches him down. Ripley and Lynch begin to brawl in the ring before Ripley sends Lynch shoulder-first into the ring post. Ripley checks on Mysterio at ringside. Lynch leaps off the steps and attacks them both. Referees separate them, and Mysterio pulls Ripley away. Lynch breaks free, runs over Mysterio, and continues to brawl with Ripley. More referees run down to break it up.

“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”

Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, a finalist for the 2024 South Australian Woman of the Year, makes her way to the ring to a great ovation. Ripley will next defend her championship against “The Man” Becky Lynch.

Ripley says, “Welcome to Monday Night Mami!” A loud “Mami” chant picks up. This weekend, she walked into her home country as the Women’s World Champion and out as the Women’s World Champion. Nia Jax might have been the biggest threat to her title reign. It doesn’t matter how big you are. Just because she’s from Down Under doesn’t take away from the fact that Mami is always on top. She is Rhea “Bloody” Ripley.

“The Man” Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Lynch gets in the ring and stands across the ring from her WrestleMania XL opponent. A “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says, “The Man has come around to San Jose! And the Man has come around to WrestleMania to fight you.” Lynch points at Ripley. Lynch says she is out here to congratulate Ripley. Ripley had a great night on Saturday. Actually, they both did. Lynch won the Elimination Chamber. Ripley successfully defended the title against Nia Jax in her home country in a filled stadium in the main event. Ripley’s friends and family were in the front row to see her victory. It was even better because now they won’t have to fly over to WrestleMania to watch Ripley lose. The crowd boos. Mysterio says, “Nobody talks to Mami like that.” The crowd loudly boos Mysterio. Lynch says, “Shut your mouth, you dirty cumquat.” If Mami won’t put him in his place, the Man will. Ripley has been the face of this company over the last year, but she spent the majority of the time being fed grapes by that loser (Mysterio). Lynch has been the heart and soul of the company, became a Grand Slam Champion, and has a best-selling book. The Man can do it all, including beating Rhea “Bloody” Ripley.

Ripley asks if she’s done. Lynch nods. Ripley warns her not to disrespect her Latino Heat ever again. Ripley congratulates Lynch on winning the Elimination Chamber. It’s about time she stopped disappointing Ripley to get a little close to her. The Man always thinks they’re the backbone of everything. The funny thing is behind every great man is a greater woman. Ripley isn’t behind Lynch because Mami is always on top. Ripley and Mysterio walk off.

All of a sudden, Nia Jax attacks Lynch from behind. Jax slams Lynch down a few times and drops a leg. Jax shouts at Ripley and drops another leg on Lynch. Ripley and Mysterio storm off. Jax pulls Lynch to the corner and sets up for an Annihilator, but WWE officials run down to help. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce shouts at Jax and warns her that he’ll fine her. Jax angrily walks off.

The Judgment Day is walking backstage when they come across Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. She asks “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio about challenging Gunther. Mysterio says they’ve got this. Ripley says she hopes so and walks off. Finn Bálor tells him to go smooth that over. Mysterio walks off and bumps into Andrade. Mysterio says it’s good to see him, but he’s got to smooth things over. Andrade says he’s going to be meeting with Adam Pearce to discuss his first opponent. Mysterio wishes him luck.

“The Man” Becky Lynch talks about her first Elimination Chamber match

“The Man” Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring. The crowd loudly chants her name. Lynch shouts, “The Man has come around to Lexington, Kentucky.” She just saw an interesting sign… she’s going to the prom in 2034. They are officially on the Road to WrestleMania. It has been crazy, wild, chaotic, and confusing. It’s also unpredictable. That’s what she loves about this. She loves this business so much. She was 15 years old when she first stepped into a wrestling ring. She has been obsessed ever since. That obsession has been great most of the time. She traveled the world and is in front of these fine people right now. It’s the reason a girl who once failed gym class went on to win the Main Event of WrestleMania. It’s how she met her husband and has her daughter.

That obsession is also the reason she’s missed birthdays, weddings, and her own father’s funeral. Her daughter is only three years old, but she’s already had some difficult conversations with her. She’s had to explain why her face is busted and bloodied, why she can’t pick her up because of a separated shoulder, and why her daddy wants to fight Maui. She’s going to the Elimination Chamber. Her daughter will see her mother’s face smashed on the steel, but she’ll also see the brutality that her mother is capable of. She is obsessed with this and has never been more obsessed about getting the title back she hasn’t held in two years. That starts with winning the Elimination Chamber and going face-to-face with one of the most dominant champions we’ve ever seen. A lot of people love Mami. They don’t think anyone can beat her. A “Mami” chant picks up. Lynch isn’t just anyone. She ain’t never faced anyone quite like Lynch. Whether you love Mami or hate her… whether you love Lynch or hate her… Lynch asks for a drink to make a toast. If you have a drink, some popcorn, or a fist, she wants them to raise it up in the air. This is for Rhea Ripley. She can enjoy her last few weeks as champion. Bottoms up!

Nia Jax comes out to the ring to loud boos. Jax knows they’ve had their differences, but she has something to say to her. Jax gets in the ring, and a “You suck” chant picks up. Jax is pretending to be emotional. She has so much respect for Lynch. If her mom was half the mom Lynch is, she’d be lucky. She hopes to be a mother one day and use Lynch as an example. Lynch looks confused. Jax says Lynch will win the match at Elimination Chamber. With that passion and that drive for her little girl, there’s nothing that will stop her from winning that match and going to WrestleMania. Jax is pretending to cry and then stops. Jax says nothing will stop her from beating Rhea Ripley and winning the Women’s World Championship. It will be them at WrestleMania.
