The Judgment Day will be part of SummerSlam 2024, with its faction members competing in some high-profile bouts. One of the matches will feature Rhea Ripley clashing against Liv Morgan in a Women's World Title match. On the other hand, Damian Priest will be locking horns with Gunther in a World Heavyweight Championship match.
As we head towards the Biggest Party of the Summer, it seems like WWE has been planting seeds for the babyface turn of the Archer of Infamy, which could even take place before SummerSlam.
In this article, we will discuss four potential signs that indicate Damian Priest's babyface turn is imminent on Monday Night RAW.

#4. Damian Priest is the only Judgment Day member who is on good terms with Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley made her return to the red brand a few weeks back. Despite all the chaos that happened in The Judgment Day during her absence, Damian Priest is still the only member who maintains good terms with Rhea Ripley.
For those unaware, Mami is already listed as a babyface star internally in WWE. This suggests that if Priest is on good terms with Rhea, who is already listed as a heroic character, WWE might be planning to turn Damian Priest into a babyface star as well.
Even during Rhea's absence, the Archer of Infamy was the only one who opposed Liv Morgan's every action within The Judgment Day.
#3. Damian Priest is proving himself as a fighting Champion
Damian Priest's behavior as World Heavyweight Champion has taken a drastic turn in the past few weeks as he tries to be a fighting champion. This is evident from his insistence on not wanting Judgment Day members to interfere during his matches.
At Backlash 2024, Damian Priest and Finn Balor even had a heated face-off when the villainous faction interfered in Priest's match against Jey Uso, despite Damian's instructions of non-interference.
Typically, every heel champion uses cheap tactics or interference to retain their championship and never showcases themselves as a fighting champion. However, Damian Priest's approach as a fighting champion is a significant sign of him turning babyface even before SummerSlam 2024.
#2. The post-match interaction between Jey Uso and Damian Priest in Mexico City
Recently, a video of Damian Priest and Jey Uso from a live event in Mexico surfaced on the internet, where the Judgment Day member is already behaving like a babyface star. In the video clip, the YEET Master is flattened in the ring, but Damian comes to his aid, helping Jey to his feet and showing sportsmanship.
These actions of Damian surprised fans on the internet, leading them to believe that the World Heavyweight Champion is on the verge of turning babyface.
#1. Damian Priest's promo with Gunther on the recent RAW
Gunther and Damian Priest were engaged in a heated promo on the latest episode of RAW, where the Ring General took several shots at the Judgment Day member. However, the segment felt more like a promo between a babyface and a heel star.
Additionally, before this week’s RAW, Seth Rollins and Damian Priest had a backstage segment where they showed mutual respect following their MITB match. All these signs strongly indicate WWE's intention to turn Damian Priest into a babyface star before the Biggest Party of the Summer.
