I think Dom will betray Rhea. Dom's character is that he hates his dad. He finally beat Rey with the help of Liv and develops a crush on her for this reason.
That’s where I got the idea from! Liv helped him beat his dad, and I feel like in that last moment before Rhea came out, Dom’s face showed that he had started to fall for Liv. While Dom tries to win Rhea back, I think getting the cold shoulder from Rhea, plus Liv continuing to embrace him will lead him to fully turn on Rhea and give up
@@WrestleHook that’ll most definitely happen. The heat Dom will get from betraying Rhea will be legendary and I imagine Finn, JD and Carlito will end up following Dom because of tensions between Priest and Finn and how Liv has treated them.
I think both dom and Finn will betray them. Finn and dom have 1 thing in common. Both not only battled the judgement day in its early stages but were literally beaten into the judgement after weeks of resisting them. Damien and rhea were the OG members next to edge that voluntarily joined before kicking out edge and taking it over after Finn gave in and joined
There was also the line that Dom threw at Damian "You're starting to sound like my dad!" I DEFINITELY think we are getting a Rhea and Damian split from Judgment Day. Not sure if Dom will stick with the other guys or not but we'll see!
I don't know if anyone else remembers but Jey had some eyes for Mami a few months back. With Jey as big as he is now, imagine the magic they could have 👀
it feels like damien has been slowly inching towards a face turn for a while now, it'd be cool to have rhea join him! if bad blood is a ple specifically focused on grudge matches, this feels like an opportunity to have fueds that could boil to mcintyre/punk levels by that point
His actions with set last night were pretty babyface lol giving him another shot if he retains against gunther is not something I'd expect a heel to ever offer
@@Dporticus i only started watching wwe regularly since just before backlash so maybe i don't have a good read of priest's character but he seems weirdly respectful for a heel. even if he doesn't do the face turn, if that's just a part of his character that makes him unique and i like that a lot
This episode was the first time I realized there's a half hour missing from Raw every week on Hulu. They ran a segment about Kofi Kingston's match from the week before, and I did not remember that happening. Because they didn't include it.
It will be interesting to know what direction The Judgment Day takes, especially after Summerslam. I think Damian loses the championship to Gunther and Liv retains (with help from Finn) against Rhea. Maybe Dom tries to Make Liv lose and Finn shows up to stop him and make Liv win. Right now I feel that both (Damian and Rhea) are already seen more as babyfaces than as heels.
Motionless in white really killed it with Rhea's theme song, the way it starts with Chris screaming is up there with the glass breaking for Stone Cold with the shock factor.
Rhea being the baby face in this feud would only make sense if she addresses the elephant in the room, and that is she created this monster which is Liv. Rhea and Liv used to be tag team partners back in 2022, but Rhea betrayed Liv to join the judgement day. Rhea also attacked Raquel backstage and injured her knee which cost Raquel and Liv the tag team titles. Lastly, Rhea sneaked attacked Liv before their match, then injured her and taunted her. So what Liv is doing here is justifiable just like Drew. Let us also not forget that Rhea also tormented Dom before and "Stockholm-Syndromed" her way to his heart, assaulted Rey and his sister Aliyah backstage which ultimately lead to Dom betraying Rey and joining the Judgement Day.
What I love abt this story is that both Rhea and Liv used two different manipulation tactics on Dom and he fell/is falling for both. When he realizes this and learns to stand on his own I feel like he’s got a great babyface run in him
@@Dporticus I love how Cody vs Roman at WM 39 is what got you into wrestling ! I had kinda lost interest in the product ever since the pandemic and that match completely rejuvenated my love for the business
I cannot wait until Damien and Rhea are their own group. They have the best besties vibes. I have a feeling that the big finale of Liv vs. Rhea will be at Bad Blood. It's just too perfect of a name.
Confused why you don’t want the title involved. The title is one of the things Liv “took” from Rhea. Also, this is historically what we’d call a “title worthy feud”. This is the level of storytelling you’d want for your main event scene, I’d think. Love your stuff man!
That's why I said I hope rhea kind of takes things back one thing at a time. Hope this doesn't just end up being resolved at summer slam. I think it has potential to go beyond that.
@@Dporticus Ah I gotcha. I doubt if they have any kind of one on one match it won’t be for the title tho, but there’s no way they don’t address everything that’s been going on, I’d wager.
Man, I want to say. This kind of video that's basically a reaction to community engagement stroke me as very low effort initially. The pattern is clear and the content is easy to produce (I think). But man, it comes from a place of such sincere fandom that I engage with it happily. Good job!
Well, since I don't normally script my videos in general, this would almost be more effort (for me specifically) because it requires more editing throughout the video than most of my other stuff 😆 But seriously, I'm glad you see it for what it is. I only started making wwe videos as an outlet for bottled up desire to talk wrestling with people. So yea, a decent chunk of videos end up being me looking for an opportunity to talk wrestling with the community! Thanks for giving it a chance. And welcome, if you decide to stick around for more! ❤️
As someone who has been watching for about 19 years, I no longer watch every minute of every show, last night I heard Punk was on the show (he's my all time favourite along side Torrie Wilson), so I tuned in for his segments. When I heard Damian on the phone, I was like OH YEAH this is gonna be good Mami is back, so I came back for the main event, I do wish Rhea hit either Dom or Liv but all good.
I’m going to Raw in 2 weeks. Last time they were in town, The Judgement Day brought in Finn and kicked out Edge, so I hope there’s the breakup angle then
I feel for Liv story-wise, their feud started because Rhea betrayed Liv, beating and injuring her. So far Liv delivered and really helped everyone. Helped Finn and JD get the titles, stopped Braun from destroying an injured Dom, got Dom his first win on Rey. Liv's not really the bad guy here, but they can't play it that way because Rhea is way more popular, she's the face of the division no matter if she wants it or not.
Rhea wont get the title right away. Liv is popular however and will keep the title until Wrestlemania and Rhea will beat Liv for the title then. If WWE plays this right it could be an historic rivalry.
I was hoping that they’d hold off Rhea’s return until Liv literally took everything from her like she said she would ie win Dom over and break up the judgement day. Either way, fantastic return
Survivor Series Elimination match maybe? Dom/Liv/JD/Finn/Carlito vs. Damian/Rhea/three others. Having the women in the match does kind of make it weird though. If either were eliminated then by the rules of WWE the other woman would also basically be eliminated since they don't do intergender.
I think Liv takes over the Judgement day and everyone in the group votes out Priest and Rhea(Priest because he would have lost the whc against Gunther, and Rhea maybe because she loses against Liv at Summerslam). That would give the whole Judgement Day faction something new while not fully disbanding
I say Rhea should’ve returned next week because Dom just willingly embraced Liv for the first time this episode, imagine next week Damien is in the judgement day locker room just for Rhea to barge in and say “Where’s Dom” then for the next three hours you can do so many different things but at the end she finds Liv instead of Dom and show ends with them fighting
If you want Dom to go mega-heel, make him the special guest ref in a Liv/Rhea title match, force Dom to make the 3-count on Ripley, and soak in the boos.
A little too early to me. I would have loved to see Liv FULLY take over Judgement Day, Damian's out, Finn's out, bring in a new member, make it totally unrecognizable, get her and Dom openly in a relationship and he helps her cheat to win a few title defeses, and THEN Rhea comes back to bring everyone back together and get her family back. Glad she's recovered and ready to go and everything, full faith this will still turn out to be a great story, was just hoping to see this setup phase drag out a little more for a more satisfying payoff.
Man started watching WWE just a couple years ago and already thinks he's notSam doing an emergency podcast 😉 jk love the content and the love of the sport
6:30 Only issue I have here is calling Rhea and Damian Faces, they ABSOLUTELY are NOT!!! At best they are tweeners! I don't give two sh!ts or any f**ks who people are cheering for! Fans don't cheer for people because they are face, they cheer because they see people who bust their asses to entertain them night after night!
I know I made a recent comment about not wanting to watch raw or smackdown when it's live, but this seems like it was a really great show after a ple....
What do you mean "when it's live"?! The shows are ALWAYS(except when they are overseas I guess; though PPVs are usually just on hours sooner in the US than is normal) live!
@@JacksonOwex well I have DVR so I can record them and just skip thru what I don't want to watch. I'm not spending 3 hours watching raw and another 2 hours on smackdown every week....
Mami, the demon in your dreams, what can I say? This made me extremely happy. I actually thought Rhea would be out longer, but I’m not complaining. The pop was just awesome as soon as the music hit as well, now I have a reason to get invested in the storyline because the buildup has been mediocre to borderline boring. Now Mami’s back all bets are off 🖤
@@Dporticus as I said, I’m not complaining because honestly this storyline has been boring, I knew it wouldn’t start getting good until Rhea came back. In terms of Liv it could be a double switcheroo where her and Dominik realise they actually have “legitimate“ feelings for each other and a new variant of the judgement day formed with the following Finn JD Funko Dom Liv After Rhea and Damien get kicked out/leave
keyfabe qustion wouldn't dom see the video of liv laughing in the backround? he saw and commented on the video of priest so if he doesn't know by now why. and if after that video why is liv only posting dom content on her twitter i still feel there is more to it then just she is going to be like fuck off dom
They wouldn’t have brought her back if she couldn’t compete,wwe only bring wrestlers back when they are close to coming back it one of the reasons dom wasn’t written off tv when he was injured because was that serious they even took comm punk off tv a bit after the rumble but brought him back and use him sparingly since he close to return to drag out the feud
I think liv. Finn and jd form their own judgment day against the recovering dom they “loner priest” and baby face Rhea and Finn becomes part of the title picture filling the void left by drew and cm punk
Hard disagree on Dom not turning on Rhea. It seems like the right move. We’ve never seen any actual romantic interest from Rhea to Dom which makes sense. We have seen her assault Dom, manipulate him and treat him badly at times. For that reason, I think it’s perfectly reasonable that Liv could be like Poison Ivy and seduce him without having any real interest and have him be her lackey. Dom would get massive heat for turning on Rhea, Rhea will become the baby face even in spite of her actions and you can have Liv be a cowardly heel that is bailed out time after time. I’d say have everyone short of Damien join her and Dom too. Liv is good not great in the ring but I’ve always thought she was extremely compelling to watch and I think that the antics with Dom need to continue. If neither Liv or Rhea want anything to do with him, then he has nothing to do and then you miss out on the massive heat he produces weekly. The RAW women’s division is kind of weak at the moment when it comes to potential feuds for either Liv or Rhea so it makes the most sense to continue the course, innovate where necessary to keep the story fresh and have a big payoff at one of the big 4. Dom will definitely turn on Rhea and align with Liv permanently post Summerslam.
Mami's always on top 🫡🫡🫡 (also we got that "bonus footage" (of them going up the ramp) in Canada on the broadcast, i dont know why USA keeps doing that, so dumb .)

On the matter of Rhea v Liv:

oh this is gonna be interesting
I have a question, do you open your wrestling figures or keep them in the box
I keep them in the box. Not for any value reasons or anything but I just like the boxes.
@@Dporticus fair enough
I think it’s the Chyna and Eddie storyline. So if you ever seen that then you can guess what is going to happen.
Liv fled faster from Rhea than Jey from thd Wyatt6icks
