The Judgment Day is a villainous professional wrestling stable performing in WWE on the Raw brand. The group is composed of Finn Bálor, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Carlito, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez. Mysterio is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion in his first reign, while Morgan and Rodriguez are the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in their second reign as part of the stable.
The stable was founded in 2022 by its original leader Edge at WrestleMania 38 with a supernatural/dark gothic theme; Damian Priest was the first to join with Edge, followed by Rhea Ripley. Edge was then expelled from the group following Bálor's addition. Following Edge's removal, the supernatural elements aspect faded to more of a street thug/goth bully group, and a no leadership ideology was implemented. Later that year, Mysterio betrayed his father to join the group after initially feuding against them. In 2023, Bálor worked to recruit his real-life student McDonagh, who officially joined the group in November. The following year at SummerSlam, Priest and Ripley lost championship matches following interferences from Bálor and Mysterio respectively. After unofficially associating themselves with The Judgment Day beforehand, Carlito and Morgan joined the group as replacements following Priest and Ripley's expulsions from the group. Rodriguez subsequently joined the group at Bad Blood.
The Judgment Day have achieved several championship milestones in WWE. They are the second stable (after The Bloodline) to have simultaneously held titles across all three brands (Raw's Women's World Championship, the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and NXT's North American Championship). Also as part of the stable, Ripley won the 2023 women's Royal Rumble, ultimately winning the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39, which was renamed to the Women's World Championship during her reign, whereas Priest won the 2023 men's Money in the Bank contract, ultimately winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL.
