Is a member of Judgment Day being removed? WWE recently added powerhouse Raquel Rodriguez to the faction upon her return to the company.
Since its inception the WWE faction has undergone several member changes. The group originally began with Edge, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley. As time went on, neither of the originating three members of the faction are apart of the group. Edge was kicked out when Finn Balor joined the faction, Rhea and Damien are now feuding amongst the new members of a faction they helped build. And recently Raquel Rodriguez has been added to the group upon her return to WWE.
All this brings the question.. is a member of judgment day being removed from the group? Recent discussions within Backstage Pass, have lead to conversation about Carlito possibly being removed from The Judgment Day for a singles push. While it was discussed that there has been conversations internally within the company, no timetable had been announced in relation to when Carlito may be exiting the group.
Here are some quotes from the podcast courtesy of WrestlingNewsCo: (transcription)
A couple of more nuggets that we can touch on is we are hearing discussions to potentially remove Carlito from the Judgment Day and get him back into a singles competitor, possibly a singles push….
“I think now, with the addition of Raquel Rodriguez to the Judgment Day, it started to get a little bit bloated. And I think if you have a street trash type gimmick for the Judgment Day where they’re kind of thugs and, you know, getting….rule breakers in that sort of environment, if you don’t toe the line of the entire group, or if you step out of line a little bit, or if you make a mistake, you’re going to pay for those mistakes. So I think you’re going to see Carlito here in the next couple of weeks, sort of give the Judgment Day a reason to want to excommunicate him from the group. And I think he deserves a singles run.”
“There’s no timetable. We haven’t heard much. I’d expect by the end of the year, maybe a singles run by Carlito’s in the fold, but we do know that those plans have been discussed to separate him from the Judgment Day.”
We will have more on whether or not a member of the judgment day being removed as that news becomes available.
