Damian Priest: Rhea Ripley Is Taking More Of A Leadership Role In Judgment Day, It’s Interchangeable

Damian Priest says everyone in The Judgment Day is a leader, and they step up when needed. 

Since Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley kicked Edge out of The Judgment Day, each one of them has taken turns being the leader of the group, which also includes Dominik Mysterio. Ripley was absent for a few weeks in September, but she has resumed the leadership role since she returned. At WWE Fastlane, she stopped Priest from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.

Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Priest was asked to respond to those who say it seems like Ripley has been positioning herself as the leader of The Judgment Day recently.

“They’re right. I think a few short weeks ago, I was the one everybody was saying was the leader. A few months before that, it was Finn Balor. Before that, well, nobody really ever says Dom. But it’s interchangeable. We’re all leaders, so they are right. She is a leader, and I think Finn Balor’s a leader. I’m a leader. I think we all share in that leadership role, and right now, she’s just taking more of it because we obviously at times don’t act like ourselves. In this instance, she was there to lead me the right way. When she wasn’t around, I kind of took the reigns of leading the guys in a certain way. Other times, when Rhea was distracted and I was distracted, Finn Balor stepped in. That’s the beauty about what we got going on. We can all lean on each other, and somebody’s always gonna step up and take that leadership role when it’s needed,” Priest said.
