2-time WWE Champion to return on RAW on Netflix and form an alliance with Damian Priest? Possibility explored

WWE Superstar Damian Priest recently cost Finn Balor and JD McDonagh their World Tag Team Championship. The Archer of Infamy interfered in the title defense match of his rival faction’s members and caused a last-minute interference which made The War Raiders win. Now, with Priest back on the offensive, he could team up with AJ Styles on RAW’s Netflix debut to form an alliance against The Judgment Day.

This week on RAW, Dominik Mysterio planned to lure Damian Priest into an ambush under the guise of a singles match. Although The Punisher discovered all the members of the heel faction in their hiding spots, he was eventually outnumbered. However, before Finn Balor could decimate Priest with a volley of Coup de Graces, The War Raiders entered the arena to aid him.

Priest, Erik, and Ivar raised their hands together after spoiling The Judgment Day’s plans to thrash The Punisher. Later in the episode, the former World Heavyweight Champion was seen backstage with the World Tag Team Champs. The three wrestlers bonded with each other and decided to take the fight the heel faction together.

However, the numbers don’t really match and the opposition lacks one wrestler to counter the four male superstars of The Judgment Day. This vacant spot could be filled by AJ Styles. The two-time WWE Champion was last seen on SmackDown on October 4, 2024, where he lost to Carmelo Hayes via referee stoppage.

Since then, there has been no news about AJ. Thus, it is possible that WWE could be saving him to aid Damian Priest and bring him back on RAW’s Netflix premiere. While this is a possible direction the company can take to bring Styles back, it is just speculation so far.

Rhea Ripley could also join Damian Priest to counter Judgment Day

Damian Preist and Rhea Ripley got betrayed and kicked out of The Judgment Day at the 2024 SummerSlam. Since then, The Terror Twins have fought their former faction mates several times, emerging victorious in their last confrontation at Bash in Berlin. Now, when Priest is teaming up with The War Raiders, Mami can join the team to help him against Liv Morgan.

The Eradicator recently grew close to IYO SKY. The Japanese wrestler had helped Ripley’s team win the women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. Moreover, Mami was also seen carrying the Damage CTRL member back to the locker room after she lost to Liv Morgan in a title match.

SKY could aid the Judgment Day opposition by keeping a check on Raquel Rodriguez. Thus, Damian Priest could have a full-fledged faction in the Netflix era to deal with his former stable. It would be interesting to see if these superstars actually team up on RAW and end the heel crew.
