Change is in the air on WWE RAW.
Rhea Ripley joined Judgment Day at WWE WrestleMania Backlash when she helped Edge defeat AJ Styles. “The Nightmare” had newly black hair to represent the bold change in her direction.
The next night on RAW, the trio came to the ring, and the WWE Hall of Famer also had a fresh haircut. His legendary locks were gone; instead, he came to the ring with a different look, as his hair was cut short.

He and his other ally, Damian Priest went on to explain that while they could have destroyed everyone on their own, adding an instrument of violence like Ripley to their group has made them unstoppable. Ripley proceeded to explain that she joined the faction because she saw how Edge and Priest changed for the better, and she wanted that for herself. She then stated that she was tired of being used. She particularly had a problem with fans selling her autograph.
“The Nightmare” noted that she had unfinished business with her former partner, Liv Morgan, and she vowed to destroy the latter.
"I am DONE signing autographs at the airport for all tthe little kids who come running up to me saying they want to be just like me when they grow up. The next day, I go online and I see those same autographs being sold on eBay. I'm DONE being used."@RheaRipley_WWE#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/is4TrFKb5Q

The two former friends faced off in a singles bout, and despite Morgan’s best efforts, Ripley picked up an impressive win by making her tap out. Under Edge’s orders, Ripley continued to attack Morgan after the bout. The former RAW Women’s Champion music played after the match, and it was a new theme song to match her altered look.
Minutes later, Edge attacked Finn Balor during his match with Priest. After the bell, Ripley got involved and tipped the momentum in her partners’ corner, as Balor and AJ Styles refused to hit her. Judgment Day left their enemies lying to end the night standing tall.
