3. Judgment Day Continues To Thwart Rey

If we have to keep pitting Rey Mysterio against Judgment Day, at least the stable keeps winning and keeps pressure on the legendary luchador.

The dark group has expanded their reach to include Matt Riddle, who lost to Finn Balor last week after rejecting an offer to join them, and so it was Riddle who teamed with Rey to take on Judgment Day Monday night. The duo flashed some signs of brilliance, but Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio and an attacking Seth Rollins proved too much for them.

Judgment Day racking up wins only helps the group, though we’ll repeat: the group needs to branch out from Rey and now Riddle. It’s getting repetitive and makes it look like the roster is nonexistent.
