The Judgment Day sided with Dominik Mysterio and ousted Finn Balor from the group. He will bring his alter-ego, The Demon, in his fight against Mysterio at WrestleMania 42.

While Dirty Dom might have other Judgment Day allies by his side, a shocking turn could see Roxanne Perez betray them and join the same man who brought her into the faction, i.e., Finn Balor.

The WWE Universe saw a glimpse of Liv Morgan betraying Dominik Mysterio upon her return at WWE Survivor Series 2025, only for Morgan to reveal that it was a ruse.

However, Morgan could decide to go solo and create a shocker at Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 by betraying her Daddy Dom, which could be one of the biggest shockers in the show’s history.

3. Jade Cargill’s allies leave her side

The road to WrestleMania 42 saw Jade Cargill’s former foes, Michin and B-Fab, become her allies in her feud with Rhea Ripley. However, a major double turn could see them turn the tables on Cargill and betray her to side with Mami instead to create a huge, shocking moment at the show.

2. Pat McAfee joins Cody Rhodes
