The Judgment Day faction has gained momentum on WWE RAW following Liv Morgan’s injury, with a prominent WWE veteran expressing interest in joining the group ahead of Judgment Day SummerSlam 2025 in New Jersey. R-Truth, a longtime WWE performer, revisited his connection with the villainous faction as anticipation builds for the major two-night event.
R-Truth’s History and Renewed Interest in Judgment Day
R-Truth’s involvement with The Judgment Day dates back several months, highlighted by a storyline culminating in him and The Miz defeating the champions at WrestleMania XL. During that time, the 53-year-old believed he was officially part of the faction, even removing JD McDonagh from the stable after besting him in a December 2024 Street Fight. As SummerSlam 2025 approaches, Truth was seen interacting with current roster members Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, inquiring about the group’s present and former members with clear interest in rejoining.
“JD’s [McDonagh] still there? DP [Damian Priest] ain’t there. Rhea [Ripley] ain’t there. Is Nick [Dominik Mysterio] there? Y’all are in on it together,” Truth said. —WrestleZone, H/T Sportskeeda Wrestling
A Veteran’s Unsuccessful Bid and Critical Reflection on the Faction
Despite his eagerness and visible efforts, R-Truth has yet to secure an official spot in Judgment Day, with the faction favoring JD McDonagh as a member instead. The veteran‘s attempts brought some members to break character during live broadcasts, revealing the tension and drama behind the scenes. On WWE Deutschland, Truth candidly addressed the situation, noting the contributions he made to the group, including boosting their merchandising revenue and providing resources the faction lacked.
“You’re the only one that’s bringing the money in. I’m talking about money; you know what I’m saying. I ain’t talking about chump change or a little bit of change, bringing the money and fattening the pockets up, taking care of them. I got them a TV; they had no TV in there. They were all on their phones, you know what I’m saying, on their iPhones and stuff,” Truth said. —WrestleZone, H/T Sportskeeda Wrestling
Looking Ahead to Judgment Day’s Role at SummerSlam 2025
The developments involving R-Truth and The Judgment Day underline the faction’s evolving dynamics as they prepare for SummerSlam 2025, a highly anticipated event billed as The Biggest Party of the Summer. With Liv Morgan sidelined due to injury, the group’s narrative momentum appears strong. How R-Truth’s storyline with Judgment Day advances remains uncertain, but his continued presence and vocal insistence on recognition signal ongoing intrigue for WWE fans.
The faction’s shifting lineup and the veteran’s active pursuit suggest that the upcoming summer event in New Jersey might bring significant storyline shifts or surprises related to The Judgment Day’s power and membership on the blue brand.
