WWE’s Rhea Ripley Clarifies R-Truth’s Involvement with the Faction
Summary
– Rhea Ripley confirms that R-Truth is not a stable member of The Judgment Day.
– R-Truth’s recent actions and victory over JD McDonagh led to speculation about his membership.
– Ripley emphasizes that The Judgment Day consists of five members, and R-Truth is not part of their plans.
WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley has made it clear that R-Truth is not a member of The Judgment Day stable, despite recent events that suggested otherwise. This clarification came during the WWE 2024 Preview Special, where Ripley addressed the confusion surrounding R-Truth’s association with the group.
R-Truth, who returned to WWE at Survivor Series WarGames, declared himself the newest member of The Judgment Day. His claim seemed to gain legitimacy when he defeated JD McDonagh in an unofficial “loser leaves Judgment Day” match on the December 18 episode of WWE Raw. However, Ripley has firmly stated that R-Truth’s victory over McDonagh does not grant him membership in The Judgment Day.
Ripley expressed frustration with R-Truth’s actions, emphasizing that he is not part of their group. She acknowledged the recent reunion of R-Truth and The Miz, known as “Awesome Truth,” on Raw but insisted they should steer clear of The Judgment Day. According to Ripley, the stable consists of five members who need to consider R-Truth for inclusion.
Ripley’s comments suggest R-Truth’s attempts to integrate himself into The Judgment Day are unwelcome. She described his actions as an intrusion, highlighting that he has been trying to insert himself into their plans and even using their entrance music without official approval from the group.
The situation was further complicated during a tag team match on Raw, where R-Truth teamed up with The Miz against Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio. During the match, R-Truth showed confusion about his tag team partner, leading to him inadvertently aligning with The Judgment Day’s corner at times.
Rhea Ripley’s clarification ends speculation about R-Truth’s status with The Judgment Day. How this development will affect R-Truth’s role in WWE programming and his interactions with the stable moving forward remains to be seen.
