Tonight's episode of WWE RAW will decide The Judgment Day's fate. Last week, Rhea Ripley returned to the red show and caught Dominik Mysterio in a rather compromising position with Liv Morgan, and Mami is enraged. She will return on tonight's show for vengeance and it will not be pretty.

However, it might not just be Rhea Ripley who might show a change in character, but 6-time WWE champion (World Heavyweight Championship once, United States Championship once, SmackDown and RAW Tag Team Championship twice) Damian Priest might turn face on tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW. This speculation comes after an act by The Archer of Infamy in one of the WWE live events in Mexico over the weekend.

Damian Priest defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso. After successfully defeating Main Event Jey, The Archer of Infamy was walking away when he changed his mind. He returned to the ring, and helped Jey Uso back to his feet, followed by acknowledging Uso with the signature "YEET" arm movement.

This isn't the first time Priest has shown signs of turning face. Previously, he stopped Finn Balor and JD McDonagh from brutalizing Jey Uso at Backlash 2024 and Seth Rollins prior to the title match at Money in the Bank 2024. If Damian Priest is doing the same on non-televised shows, it might not be an act to fool anyone but his true character at this point.

Furthermore, if Priest enters SummerSlam 2024 as a babyface World Heavyweight Champion, there's a high possibility he could defeat Gunther and continue his title reign for a longer period to solidify the face turn.

Triple H can consider making another change ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2024

Among all the feuds aross RAW and SmackDown, if there is one which is hitting the right spot with fans even without a single match so far, it's CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre. The Voice of the Voiceless has been a thorn in The Scottish Warrior's side since WrestleMania 40.

Unfortunately, Seth Rollins suffered the consequences of Punk and McIntyre's heated rivalry at Money in the Bank. The Second City Saint interfered during the title match at Money in the Bank after McIntyre cashed in, and Priest walked away with the victory even though Rollins had almost defeated The Archer of Infamy.

The Visionary brought it up with Punk on the previous episode of WWE RAW, and let him know that as soon as Punk is medically cleared, Seth Rollins will snap his arm all over again. The promo was truly fiery and showcased the more intense side of The Visionary.

Triple H should consider adding Rollins to CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre for Summerslam 2024 since it will open avenues for singles matches between Punk vs. McIntyre and Punk vs. Rollins for future premium live events. Furthermore, reports already suggest Rollins will become a part of the feud ahead of SummerSlam, so it would be logical to make the match a Triple Threat.
