Why is Rhea Ripley a babyface despite the rest of The Judgment Day still being heels? Likely reason explored

Rhea Ripley returned on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, receiving a massive reaction from the WWE Universe. Upon her comeback, the Eradicator confronted Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, but the Women's World Champion ran away from Ripley. However, recent reports have disclosed that Rhea Ripley is now a babyface in the internal WWE list despite all other Judgment Day members still being listed as heels.

This could be because WWE was already planning Ripley's heroic turn before her injury, and her real-life injury sped up the process.

Additionally, Ripley's listing as a babyface while the rest of Judgment Day remains heels indicates that the faction members are expected to turn on her soon. However, Damian Priest might side with The Eradicator, as he was already aware of Rhea's return on RAW after Money in the Bank 2024.

Also, Dominik Mysterio's attempt to justify his actions to the Eradicator could indicate that he might side with Ripley and Damian Priest when conflicts arise within the faction.

What could happen next with Rhea Ripley?

Following her return on the recent episode of RAW, it's likely that The Eradicator might call out Liv Morgan next Monday. As we head towards the next premium live event, SummerSlam 2024, Rhea Ripley could also challenge her for the Women's World Championship to reclaim the title she never lost.

Moreover, Mami is also expected to address the issues within Judgment Day and discuss everything that has transpired in the faction in her absence. Dominik Mysterio will likely be prominently involved due to his romantic interactions with Morgan.

Not only the former NXT North American Champion but Finn Balor and JD McDonagh are also expected to be confronted by Rhea Ripley, given their comfort level with Liv Morgan. Additionally, Mami could question why the 30-year-old star aided Balor and JD in winning the World Tag Team titles.

However, in this scenario, Damian Priest could be the only one who remains on the safer side. He has consistently opposed Liv Morgan's actions and her association with Judgment Day.

Overall, the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW is expected to significantly change the landscape of the Red brand and the ongoing narratives involving Judgment Day and Liv Morgan.
