The Judgement Day were given the penultimate match on WrestleMania Sunday—the co-main, if you will. A bout that promised fireworks from the moment Becky Lynch’s music hit, but by the final bell, many were left scratching their heads…and even more after the WWE RAW results filtered through.
Excellent performance from all four women
Let’s be real—all four women put on a banger. The narrative depth, the chemistry, the physicality—it all clicked. WrestleMania 41 was gifted a standout tag match. Highlights included the simmering tension between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch, a rekindling of their old rivalry with stiff shots and sneering disdain.
Raquel Rodriguez, as always, brought her unique blend of power and agility, meshing beautifully with the more technical Lyra Valkyria in the opening exchanges. Credit where it’s due: this match delivered. So everyone wanted an immediate rematch on the next night of WWE RAW Netflix, right?
Why replace Bayley?
Becky Lynch is a megastar, no doubt. But it still begs the question—why not Bayley? Why is it always Lynch slotted into the comeback spotlight?
Bayley has done the grind—through injury, through bad creative, through being the glue when the women’s division floundered. She even hosted WrestleMania 37 when she couldn’t physically wrestle. Becky? She dips in and out and still gets handed the keys to the kingdom. Maybe there’s another Becky Lynch book the WWE wants to sell us…
Bayley has been there, and if WrestleMania was about rewarding loyalty, she’d have had the entrance pop, not Lynch.
Lynch didn’t need the win
The crowd erupted the second Becky’s music hit. That’s the proof—she didn’t need the W. She was already over. Giving her and Lyra Valkyria the victory at WrestleMania might’ve made for a crowd moment in the stadium, but it undercut Liv and Raquel, who were finding their stride as a team.
Liv and Raquel aren’t some thrown-together pair. They’ve fought their way to legitimacy. WrestleMania could’ve been their coronation—not a cheap “shock loss” just to get it back 24 hours later.
Then… the RAW reset
So they lost at WrestleMania. Then what? The very next night on RAW, they got the belts right back. Classic WWE hot potato logic. It’s like creative got cold feet and hit “undo” the second the backlash started brewing.
What does that win even mean now? Is it redemption? Or is it an admission that they shouldn’t have lost them in the first place?
What happens to Liv and Raq?
The Judgement Day as a faction is visibly wobbling. Dominik snagged the Intercontinental Title, sure, but Finn Balor’s tensions are boiling, Carlito’s back to being Carlito, and now the women’s tag scene is wrapped in another temporary fix.
Liv and Raquel regaining the belts is good—but how long before WWE gets bored again?
Maybe it’s time they went rogue. Ditch the men, form a standalone faction. Hell, bring in Naomi. She’s doing stellar heel work and could help them carve a real identity as a dominant female trio. Or maybe Bayley returns, pissed off, and joins them to take the fight to Lynch in her own backyard.
Either way, Liv and Raquel need more than booking chaos—they need a direction.
