How I feel about the judgment day breakup.

Can We Stop Pretending Rhea & Damian Are Babyfaces?

The abused finally standing up for themselves doesn't make them bad guys. Let's look at the actions of Damian and Rhea outside of wrestling, outside of an environment where noise is piped in and commentators are constantly barking in your ear to reinforce the idea the story tellers want to put forward.

Rhea constantly infantilized Dominik, constantly took away his ability to act on his own accord. Anytime he tried to do something on his own the result was always the same. Being asked what he was thinking, being told he was stupid, and that of course he couldn't do it. Every single time.

And say what you want but if you had a friend who had a significant other that said to them; "I don't belong to your or anyone, but you...belong to me." If you heard that being said to your roommate would you think; "Wow, they're so lucky!" or would you think "That person is crazy, how do I talk to them about how they can do better?" Let's not forget how Rhea Ripley helped recruit Dominik in to the Judgement Day in the first place.

Rhea and the others beat and tormented him until he agreed to join, and then every moment they could reinforce the negative bullshit they were going on about having him agree till he started saying it himself. Again if your friend was harassed, and attacked till they ended up dating their attacker would you say "Awww, it's true love!"? Doubt it.

Dominik runs into someone who likes him, who tells him that he can do it, that gives him positive reinforcement and actively works to build his self worth. All the talk about the Liv Revenge Tour aside the way she acted when she helped him beat his dad; the way he talked about him to others and more importantly to him directly? Get the fuck outta here with that poor Rhea shit. Once more with feeling if you had a friend stuck in a possessive, toxic relationship and they leave it for one where the other person respects and encourages them would you be booing that? And I say this knowing that Liv is no angel either at first.

This clip summarizes Damian in a nutshell. https://youtu.be/H-uqw508FDk?si=iH4ya6aI-Jz4N6x6&t=61

Time and again when anyone else was mentioned; "The Judgement Day has no leaders." and always within three minutes; "I'm the leader!" Also Damian is a coward, go back and watch all his interactions when the Judgement Day as a group and when he's not talking over anyone else that tries to speak for themselves he is in a rapid hurry to voluntold others into violent matches that he knows they won't win. He's super offended, he is so angry that he will totally sell out one of his 'friends' and then be there the moment it's over to put them down for not doing well enough. And let's not forget that half of his intro dialogue on every episode was reminding the others that they suck and can't get anything done. For the last six months that was his official substitution for the word hello. Let's not forget his love of doing shit like this. https://youtu.be/HSV6xdb0q0c?si=ubxnWiYHMavGr3BQ&t=45 He talks about how Rhea is his friend and all of that, that he knows and cares she's upset about what has been happening, etc. Which is why the first chance he could get our hero immediately starts gaslighting to intentional make the situation worse for everyone including his supposed friend Rhea. Then there is the Damian shitshow at Summerslam. https://youtu.be/O9e1MlqaDTU?si=1-oKu72WBJc_C-WB&t=83 Imagine one of your friends was betrayed and humiliated by a different friend. It sucks, your upset and then out of no where a third friend busts into the room, grabs you by your shirt and starts screaming in your face about how dare you do what you did...would you consider that guy a hero? Or unhinged? Honestly after that friend has talked over you time and again. Put you in violent situations you didn't want to be in because he and someone else got into an arguement about how whether your friend is cool enough. Only to do shit like this as well...would you still be their friend? Hell would you say they were a good guy? If one of your friends decided to stand up for themselves after being treated the way Rhea or Damain has treated Dom or Finn would you tell them they shouldn't have?
