5 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE Raw (Jan 16 - Review)

2. Judgment Day Steps To The Bloodline

Who would have thought that the Judgment Day would be the group that would hold the most dominant force in WWE at bay on Raw Monday night?

The Bloodline was out crowing about their success (as usual) when the purple-and-black-clad foursome interrupted. Rhea Ripley told them that the only thing they need to acknowledge is that the Judgment Day runs Raw, with Finn Balor noting that after winning the tag team gauntlet match last week, they were coming for the Raw Tag Team Championship next week.

It got interesting when Damian Priest wondered why during all their attacks on Raw, the Bloodline has never stepped to them. Dominik Mysterio (whose new “ex-con” gimmick is a fantastic wrinkle) said he smelled fear on the Usos, told them they would have lasted one night in his prison with the convicts he was locked up with, and then turned his attention to Solo Sikoa.

Have no fear though, because Rhea stepped up to Solo, who backed down a bit before Dom jumped him, triggering a brawl. Even though it was two heel stables doing battle, this was good fun.
