WWE star shares how the legendary figure turned the faction’s fortunes around during a difficult time

Rhea Ripley has opened up about how WWE’s chief content officer, Triple H, played a pivotal role in saving The Judgement Day during a tough phase early in the faction’s formation. In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Ripley shared how, at one point, she doubted the future of the group as they faced internal and external struggles.

Ripley recalled the uncertainty surrounding The Judgement Day’s future, particularly after the group’s split from Edge and her own injury, which added to the stress. “There was a moment where I didn’t think the Judgment Day was going to pull through,” she said. “We had just started. We had just kicked Edge out. I got injured and it wasn’t going very well.”

As Ripley watched from home, she was anxious about the direction the faction was taking, especially with her absence. “I was very nervous watching from home, watching it all unfold. And I’m like ‘What’s happening with my boys? Why aren’t they out there? Why aren’t they beating the hell out of people?’”

It was then that Triple H stepped in, and Ripley credits him for turning the group around. “But then Triple H stepped in and took it, and it’s just been a wild, fun ride since then. He really sees a lot in all of us,” she said, acknowledging the legendary figure’s faith and influence in the faction’s success.
