One big thing: Kofi Kingston draws parallels between The Judgment Day’s collapse and other WWE factions
Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston took to social media to point out a pattern in WWE faction breakups, following The Judgment Day’s apparent dissolution at SummerSlam.
• Kingston shared a video montage featuring seven other WWE factions that have crumbled, including The Shield, Imperium, and Alpha Academy.
• He argues that these groups imploded due to “one or more of the seven deadly sins.”
Why it matters
Kingston’s observation highlights a recurring theme in WWE storytelling, where internal conflicts often lead to the downfall of popular factions.
The details
• At SummerSlam, Dominik Mysterio betrayed Rhea Ripley, while Finn Balor helped GUNTHER defeat Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship.
• These actions seemingly marked the end of The Judgment Day.
• Kingston’s video includes examples of other faction breakups, suggesting a pattern in WWE’s narrative structure.
By the numbers
• The New Day, Kingston’s own faction, has been together since 2014 without breaking up.
• 7 deadly sins were cited as potential causes for faction implosions.
What they’re saying
Kingston stated in his social media post: “For as sure as the sun will forever rise in the east, it will too forever be a New Day!”
The big picture
While faction breakups are common in WWE, The New Day stands out as an exception, with Kingston attributing their longevity to “the power of positivity” and real-life friendships.
What’s next
The fallout from The Judgment Day’s implosion is likely to play out in upcoming WWE programming, potentially leading to new storylines and character developments.
