Few things work better than a smart babyface knowingly walking into a trap, anticipating the ambush and still succumbing to the numbers. It generally serves everyone involved well, as no one looks foolish or weak as a result.

Damian Priest knew that Dominik Mysterio’s challenge of a one-on-one match was clearly a trap, but he wanted to get his hands on Dom-Dom. As he made his way to ringside, Priest spun around and caught the rest of Judgment Day charging him, fending off all four (plus Liv Morgan) initially until the numbers game caught up and the group dogpiled him.

The beatdown was on, and Rhea Ripley and Priest were left laid out by the Judgment Day, fighting valiantly against the odds and coming up short. The Terror Twins lost this round, and seeing how it took all of them to subdue Damian and Rhea means they have to know the heels will try to use the same tricks at Bash in Berlin.
