 What's good Josh? We're Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna be checking out WWE killed the biggest opportunity it had WrestleMania talking about Judgment day the group that a lot of us were excited that was created by Edge Only to be disappointed when Edge got the boot and then we found out why he got the boot creative differences in the back Apparently, this is what they were saying Apparently they wanted the judgment day group to go in a supernatural route which Edge was not for So they kicked him out the group and you know what it really does suck because the group you can tell was made to help Stars that are kind of just floating around on the roster like noticeable stars people know who they are but they're not really Getting over the hump like it's not really much for them to do or they're not getting Where they need to be, you know, like they're just kind of floating around in the mid-card space so this was a way to get them over and They dropped the ball on that so we're gonna check this out Once again, y'all go subscribe to WrestleMania if you haven't already been subscribed to him for quite some time So go check out some more of his other videos As soon as I see that he dropped this I want to check it out with you guys because I think this is a very interesting topic To really dive into so let's get right into this bad boy, man What's happened to the judgment day the once white hot faction that became less popular than the 24-7 championship division With the judgment day faction WWE's biggest opportunity in some time Wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusively is also check out wrestling.co.uk and a non-wrestling channel incredible The judgment day is DIY aka dead on arrival Yeah, incredible reversal of fortune for one of the WWE's hardest factions since the hurt business Regrettably, it looks like the judgment day will go down in history just like the hurt business did if action That was white hot with wrestling WWE found a way to ruin the hurt business had so much promising potential and they WWE for whatever reason Mess that up, too. I don't know why it's like the the formula is there to really help Other wrestlers get themselves over even more Bobby was already getting over with the help of MVP having Cedric and Sheldon Benjamin they're with them that would have helped them as well. Like I don't know man. It's just This is why factions are created Sometimes they're created to help one guy really get over more than everybody else and in other situations They're able to get somebody that wasn't doing nothing on the roster Get some TV time get some people to care about them as well. That's what it's supposed to do In it as good as the hurt business was the case can be made that the judgment day had even more potential And that it could have jump-started both raw and smackdown Firstly, it was a powerful premise The judgment day had money written all over it Things got off to a superb start as Edge bitter over his repeated failures to create new glories after a miraculous return from retirement Assembled a faction of rising stars who also felt held back by their reliance on pleasing the fans Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley who have both tasted success clearly wanted more and Edge told him everything they wanted to hear The group did what they said and beat down WWE talent with promises of more destruction to come as well as an open invitation to Anyone in the WWE to come join them It didn't take long for the judgment day to become the most exciting thing happening on raw This is very true The judgment day had the potential to target both raw and smackdown superstars and Edge's remark about losing to someone Cosplaying Aquaman was a great tease for an Edge versus Roman rematch. I love that segment. I love that little promo Segment, I'm thinking this is nice. This is what I want to see even though Edge is a heel Roman is a heel I'm all for it Who would not want to see the judgment day? Faction depending on how many more people they added versus the bloodline in like a survivor series elimination match And you found a way to get the WWE championship off of Roman back on Monday night raw and somehow Edge was able to get the championship Edge was able to get the championship and he's you know leading team judgment day over Team blood the bloodline like that would have been a nice survivor series match. I would have been all for it I would have been all for it. Hell. You don't even have to put the title on edge the WWE championship That's still a main event few they could have been trying to destroy each other on each other show like The possibilities there, which is they were there, but WWE. I don't know They just wanted to go to Supernatural like what are we talking about? This time with Edge having backup Why did it fall apart? The judgment day continued its winning ways defeating the trio of Liv Morgan AJ Styles on Finn Balor and Helen Promising a new member Regrettably that's when everything fell apart as the judgment day and introduced its newest member the next night on Raw with Finn Balor Joining the group and helping Damian Preason rear-replay kick edge out of the very group he'd assembled The most obvious reason why judgment day is DOA is the decision to take its founder edge out of the group However, there's more to the group going from the penthouse to the outhouse than the loss of its leader The first is a poorly executed plan a kicking edge out of the judgment day wasn't a bad idea However, as often happens with the WWE's creative department The plan was poorly executed Resulting in a dull aftermath and a variety of plot holes in what should have been a dynamic development for the group of heels Yeah, the writers also failed to follow up with a compelling storyline to show why the new version of the judgment day was Even more dangerous than the first Number two hot shop booking a boating edge out of the judgment day was more hot shop booking from the wwe And as we've noted before there can be cases where hot shop booking works But usually these instances are the exceptions that prove the rule Although the wwe seems to have leaked stories that edge didn't want to participate in a supernatural storyline There's no evidence to back up the supernatural storyline spin Certainly the judgment day had a gothic feel from it from the start But there were never any supernatural elements nor have there been any since edge And here's the thing about that rumor. I somewhat believe it because it's wwe That's the their their creative team and And I don't even think it's just all their creative team. I think vince has to ultimate say so I think that just wreaks of Vince McMahon Oh, let's add a supernatural element You know or somebody that like really is a yes man for vince saying that like I just I can believe that a lot more because This wwe were talking about And I could see why edge was like, you know what? I'm out of here. Just take me out And it was a weird thing when it happened because it was so soon like they just created the faction So if edge was going to get the boot I would think it would have been much later when these guys are really established as something a very serious threat here, you know, but You see what happened edge left a group the wwe is unlikely to admit this But the evidence suggests edge was kicked out in order to give raw a top baby face Furthermore edge's latest turn is problematic as the radar superstars fallen into the same category as the big show in brawn stroman superstars whose turns make no sense and usually without any explanation While wrestling fans have short memories when it comes to heel turns that this one could end up hurting his character As the fans will have little reason to cheer a man who just spent the last two months insulting them Yeah kicking edge out has led to no advance in the storyline The decision to have the heels govern themselves as equals may have seemed logical because no one left in the group stands out as a Main eventer unlike edge Unfortunately the judgment day's collaborative rule has led to no accomplishments like the original incarnation had making them look incompetent It didn't help that the judgment day seemed to have sit on their hands for the next two weeks after eliminating edge Suggesting the wwe wasn't even sure what to do with the new tree They even do nothing when i'm after it if you're gonna do that you gotta have them wreck shop on everybody That's what I would have had them just screwing up matches before rea got hurt and stuff I would have had them just doing all type of chaotic stuff To really illustrate They have gone make a rogue. No one can tell them what to do. They're going to destroy Raw smackdown nxt don't matter until they get what they want Yo after edge's expulsion number three gaping plot holes Unlike most seemingly hot-shotted storylines that there are plenty of plot holes in the judgment day 2.0 First there was no explanation for just what led to the faction turning on edge a leader who helped them get their dare we say competitors edge back Second what made the group think that Finn Balor was a good addition when he proved incapable of defeating anyone from the judgment day These storyline shortcomings could have easily been explained, but so far they haven't The decision takes bell edge could have been based on the group becoming intoxicated with their recent success and power But the wwe has done nothing to show this with promos or backstage segments As for recruiting balor the wwe could have shown balor deciding that he's had enough of getting beat up every week And or revealing he planted seeds of doubt in priest and Ripley Take the group over with the promise that he could help the nightmare and the archer of infamy Accomplish even more than what they did with edge the wwe universe have come to expect plot holes May they be minor or gaping but when they affect a popular storyline It's a wretched reflection on the entire company and bad for the fans is morale Fans are still getting over their disgust with what happened with the hurt business And this is sure to cause even more friction between fans and the wwe Number four rear replace injury Now obviously this was out of wwe's hands But rear replace injury obviously slowed down some of the group's postage momentum But they were already in bad shape after they kicked edge out of the group The nightmare has been vague about the exact nature of her injury So it's impossible to know whether she can appear to cut promos You'd think the wwe could have had her tape vignettes, but assuming she can't why not add another member who can talk Alexa bliss could have easily stepped into the judgment day And as fans know her name was brought up as a potential member for rear Ripley joined And considering the skills she showed playing a demon doll for the fiend Twisted version of little miss bliss seems like an easy way to make up for Ripley's absence I know for a fact a lot of you elixir bless elixir elixir bliss fans We're talking about the the hardcore fans all Y'all would lose y'all would lose your mind In ecstasy if y'all found out she joined. Oh my god Oh Oh, I don't even want to think about the the comments. Oh mommy mommy Alexa bliss. Yes. She's she's part of the group now worship her Y'all love y'all some Alexa bliss a little bit too much sometimes Number five poor promos A Ripley quickly proved she was the judgment day's most charismatic worker and is the best talker once edge was removed Damian priest is better used as a strong silent type Well Finn ballad just hasn't had too many opportunities to talk in wwe Number six stalled storylines One of the worst elements of the post edge judgment day Is that the group has gone from working a high profile program with AJ Styles to a wrestling rate and dominic in a Hacely assembled series. The only promise here is a dominic heel turn But the wwe is t's dominic turning heel for the last year and a heel turn could be a good way to jump start the judgment day And dominic who should be doing more than just playing fierce punching bag It's obvious that creative has put the judgment day's development and storylines on hold pending edge's return But there's more problems ahead as bad as the judgment day's decline has been things that are likely only going to get worse When edge returns don't be surprised to see the rated r super star dismantled a group by himself With Damian priest sliding back down the card and ballad disappearing into obscurity make it aim main event Despite the judgment day certainly not a main event. Oh, no That's the wrestling. Well wwe wrestling purgatory when you start getting booked for main event It's raps be drained the wwe can still breathe some life into it by having rear ripply Do the majority of the talking at least until fin ballad finds his voice And all recruiting a member who has more charisma as an upper card or preferably main event players such as alexa blairs The judgment day's problem is entirely of the wwe's making which means it shouldn't have to bring a former superstar back Or bring in someone from outside the company while the idea of doing so may be tempting Especially if they were like to pick bray wired or something. There's just as much chance the wwe will stumble with an outsider The judgment day still has potential and the right moves could get it back on track This includes bringing one or two new members from ross mcdonald even nxt Having the group start causing havoc on all three brands as it renews. I was just saying that Have them cause chaos Chaos will breed some excitement some life. Have them just start screwing up shit on all the shows Make people care. You can still do this without edge Make people care and then have edge come back But we know edge coming back. He's gonna try to murder them all So I don't I don't know what you do there But if you want to really bring some interest to him Have them do that It's mission statement to pass judgment on the wwe and planning out a long-term storyline for the group that features them On a regular basis, but they have it guys. Yeah It's actually kind of simple I know re is out. So Take his advice maybe get alexa bliss because alexa bliss is not really doing anything right now So I think that would kind of be cool, you know, you can have alexa bliss fill in for um for rhea rippley And then rhea rippley comes back and initially, you know, she they they have some tension to alexa bliss and rhea rippley because You know, they start to you know, listen more to alexa bliss more than rhea rippley and there's some dissension there you can create some dissension there Like there's ways to really book this They just gotta fucking do it. It's actually not as hard as they think it is It's not if you want to get these guys over get them over have them Really cause some chaos build a storyline around them taking over wwe and passing judgment on everyone With a look, I would love to see it. I would love to see it. Hopefully they do it, but I doubt it I doubt it. So comment down below Let me know How do y'all feel about judgment day and where they stand now? Do you guys think they should add someone like alexa bliss into the mix or who would you like to see In judgment day that you feel like that could get them over Like kind of where they were before they kicked out as let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love and support Road to 90k. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next time. Peace
