Proof Surfaces that WWE Considered Name Change for Judgment Day Stable

The Judgment Day has gone through numerous lineup changes since its inception, with Damian Priest being the last remaining original member before his eventual ejection. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the stable, but despite the transformations, they managed to avoid a name change along the way.

Recently, a reported surfaced that WWE had almost rebranded Judgment Day as “Street Trash,” a phrase coined by GUNTHER during their build-up to SummerSlam. This potential new direction would have been a drastic shift for the stable, creating plenty of buzz among fans. Needless to say, the concept of “Street Trash” as a name brought a lot of intrigue, but ultimately, WWE opted not to move forward with it.

WWE decided to stick with the Judgment Day moniker, and Finn Balor’s new version of the stable did not adopt the “Street Trash” name. The decision not to rebrand the group led to some criticism, with fans questioning the legitimacy of the original reports. However, recent developments seem to lend some truth to those rumors.

WrestleVotes posted a graphic on social media showcasing an item from WWE’s official shop that features the words “Street Trash” alongside a trash can and dumpster design. The image also had the phrase “Judgment Day: Street Trash” on it, further suggesting that WWE had at least toyed with the idea of going in this direction. While the name change never materialized, it’s clear WWE considered the possibility before choosing a different creative path. You may find a link to that Judgment Day t-shirt here.

The decision to keep Judgment Day’s name intact highlights how fluid WWE’s creative process can be. Much like Vince McMahon used to do, Triple H seems to be comfortable with shifting storylines and branding based on week-to-week developments. The presence of the “Street Trash” merchandise suggests that nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to WWE’s creative plans.
