Dominik Mysterio’s punishment, exit Judgment Day? – 4 things Rhea Ripley must do as first order of business on WWE RAW next week

WWE Monday Night RAW this week is set to kick off in a big way. It was revealed during Friday Night SmackDown that The Eradicator of The Judgment Day would be kicking off the red brand.

For those unaware, The Ripper made her return to television during Monday Night RAW last week.

In the final moments of the show, her music hit and she received an incredible applause before chasing Liv Morgan off and confronting Dominik Mysterio.

Ripley had been away for several months. During a backstage brawl with Liv Morgan,

the-then Women’s World Champion injured her shoulder and she was forced to vacate her title. She had been absent ever since then until the red brand’s latest episode.

Now that fans know Rhea is back and she’ll be opening Monday Night RAW, the big question is: What will Ripley do first? This article will look at a handful of things that The Eradicator of The Judgment Day should do as soon as the red brand’s next episode begins on Monday.

Below are four things Rhea Ripley must do as the first order of business on WWE RAW next week.

#4. She must dump Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio has had quite the journey in WWE. Dirty Dom started his career as Rey Mysterio’s innocent son. That took a dramatic shift in 2022, however, when Dirty Dom was corrupted by The Judgment Day.

More specifically, he was corrupted by Rhea Ripley and the two became an on-screen couple. Over time, both developed and Dominik became one of WWE’s most hated stars while Rhea became one of the most popular. This makes Mysterio’s recent actions with Liv Morgan all the more frustrating for fans.

When Rhea Ripley kicks off Monday Night RAW, the first thing she may do is address Dirty Dom’s actions with Liv and proceed to dump him on the spot. This will allow her to focus on her career, as opposed to someone who potentially cheated or was on the verge of doing so.

#3. Rhea Ripley must leave The Judgment Day
The Judgment Day has long been the number one faction on WWE RAW, especially once The Bloodline became SmackDown exclusive. The group has gone through various lineups, but right now it may be the most impressive, at least on paper.

The group features Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, and Carlito as an unofficial member. There’s also the Liv Morgan factor, although that is still up in the air.

Notably, though, it seemed as if only Damian kept in contract with Rhea Ripley during her sabbatical from WWE television. Many believe he is on his way out of the group, but Rhea may beat him to the punch by quitting the faction on RAW. If the “family” didn’t support her, why should she stick around?

#2. She needs to ask Adam Pearce for a WWE championship match
Triple H made a big announcement last year. After the role had been gone for many years, The Game reintroduced the General Manager position for RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

Adam Pearce runs WWE RAW, Ava heads NXT, and Nick Aldis runs WWE SmackDown. As a result of running the red brand, it is Pearce who is responsible for much of the decision-making, which includes championship matches.

As a result, Rhea may use the opening segment of Monday Night RAW to call out Adam Pearce and ask for, if not outright demand, a championship match against Liv Morgan. Pearce could potentially book it for SummerSlam or even later that night.

#1. The Nightmare must attack Liv Morgan
Asking for a match with Liv Morgan is the polite and babyface thing to do, but that isn’t always Rhea’s approach to matters. Instead, The Eradicator of the Judgment Day may open WWE RAW looking for violence.

As noted, it was Liv Morgan who injured Rhea Ripley during a backstage brawl. This forced the-then champion to vacate her title. Since then, Liv has routinely attempted to belittle and humiliate the dangerous Ripley, which may have been a massive mistake on the WWE champion’s part.

When RAW kicks off, Ripley may either demand Liv come out or attack her in the back and force her to appear in front of the crowd. From there, Rhea could take revenge on her former tag team partner in front of thousands of screaming fans.
