WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley recently weighed in on JD McDonagh trying to tie up with The Judgment Day which currently consists of Ripley, NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Damian Priest and Finn Balor. It seems Rhea Ripley is not happy with the association of Finn Balor’s close friend, JD McDonagh.
In recent weeks, McDonagh has talked to his fellow Irishman Balor several times backstage on Raw. His conversations with the former Universal Champion initially caused some heated arguments in The Judgment Day, with Priest questioning McDonagh’s intentions.
Rhea Ripley still doesn’t like JD McDonagh
Rhea Ripley spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling‘s Riju Dasgupta and said that she has trust issues regarding McDonagh’s desire to join forces with The Judgment Day:
“JD is obviously Finn’s friend. I’ve known him for a while too just from NXT UK. But The Judgment Day, we’re such a close family, we all have each other’s backs, and we all look out for each other. I just don’t know exactly where he lies with all of that just yet. I don’t fully trust him. I don’t fully like him.”
Though the former NXT star is putting in his best efforts, ‘The Eradicator’ believes McDonagh still has a long way to go and prove his worth to her:
“Obviously, he’s done a few good things recently like giving Priest the new briefcase and sticking up for Dom and taking his place against Sami. But, at the end of the day, it’s gonna take a lot more than that. You have to prove yourself to be a part of The Judgment Day and you have to prove that you are willing to do anything for this family, and it’s gonna take a lot more than that, so we’ll see where it goes. I’m not fully convinced.”
