12 Secret Mistakes You Didn't Realise WWE Have Already Made In 2024

10. Keeping The Judgment Day Together

For a time there, Monday Night Raw's purple menaces were some of the most entertaining figures in the industry.

The banter was genuinely comical. The matches were always a fun time. And the simmering tension felt during many a backstage segment had you intrigued about the idea of an inevitable implosion.

But halfway through 2024, and coming up to two years into this current incarnation of the faction's run, it feels like WWE have squeezed as much juice as they can out of this heel stable.

The lovely visual of the unit all celebrating at the top of the WrestleMania 40 ramp together as Damian Priest successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase helped disguise the fact that the team hasn't really felt like a properly compelling part of the product all year.

All involved have been ready to go their separate ways since the start of 2024. 

Rhea Ripley was already a ridiculously popular performer in her own right before her injury, Priest feels like he's been on the verge of a Balor showdown for a year now, and Carlito now having to prove himself to earn membership into the team just feels like a rehash of the JD McDonagh storyline.

This Judgment Day should have ended months ago, but we're still not on the Other Side of that much-needed break-up yet.
