The Judgment Day Keeps Its Name, Embraces "Street Trash" Slogan

Following the dramatic shake-up of The Judgment Day at SummerSlam 2024, fans were left wondering about the future of the popular WWE Monday Night Raw stable. After Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest were unceremoniously ousted, speculation ran rampant about a potential name change, with "Street Trash" emerging as the frontrunner.

Initial reports from WrestleVotes suggested that a new moniker was on the cards, sparking a wave of social media backlash from fans who were fiercely attached to The Judgment Day's identity. It seems their voices were heard, as the faction will, thankfully, retain its name. However, "Street Trash" will not be consigned to the scrapheap, instead, it will be incorporated as a prominent slogan for the group.

This decision comes after extensive fan feedback and a move from WWE to recognise the strong connection fans have with The Judgment Day. The use of "Street Trash" was originally introduced during Priest's rivalry with Gunther, culminating in their World Heavyweight Championship showdown at SummerSlam. Gunther's derogatory label for Priest, "Street Trash," became a rallying cry for the faction, ultimately playing a key role in Balor's involvement in Priest's defeat.

According to WrestleVotes, Finn Balor was the mastermind behind the "Street Trash" slogan, and merchandising for the faction, incorporating the new motto, has already been approved. This move reflects WWE's eagerness to capitalize on the popularity of the phrase, further cementing its place in the group's identity.

While The Judgment Day will maintain its existing name, the addition of the "Street Trash" slogan promises to add a new dimension to the faction, injecting a fresh dose of rebellious energy into their dynamic. The future of The Judgment Day is now firmly rooted in "Street Trash," a powerful statement that captures their raw and defiant spirit.
