The Terror Twins are a professional wrestling mixed tag team consisting of Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, currently performing in WWE on the Raw brand.

The tag team of Priest and Ripley originated as members of the villainous faction The Judgment Day, which was founded by former leader Edge following WrestleMania 38 in 2022. They started publicly calling themselves "The Terror Twins" in May 2023 as a friendship like nickname. Following both of their departures from The Judgment Day in August 2024, the two continued to affiliate as fan favorites, taking on the nickmame "The Terror Twins".

History

At SummerSlam on August 3, Ripley was unsuccessful in regaining the Women's World Championship from Liv Morgan, after interference from Dominik Mysterio, giving Ripley her first pinfall loss since May 2022. After the match, he kissed Morgan, turning on Ripley. Later that night, Priest lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther via technical submission, ending his reign at 118 days. In the closing moments, Priest hit Gunther with the South of Heaven chokeslam, only for Finn Bálor to put Gunther's foot on the bottom rope, turning on Priest by breaking the pin count.[1][2] On the following episode of Raw, Bálor addressed the events that transpired at the event before by accusing Priest of betraying Judgment Day, for calling himself a leader after becoming the World Champion and for costing him the opportunity of the same achievement at SummerSlam 2023. Priest was ejected from the group, and Carlito and Morgan were introduced as the stable's latest members. Later that night, during a match between him and JD McDonagh, Priest was attacked by the group—with the exception of Ripley. Ripley instead resigned from the stable by attacking Morgan and assisting Priest.[3][4] At Bash in Berlin on August 31, Priest and Ripley defeated Mysterio and Morgan in a mixed tag team match despite interference from Bálor, Carlito and McDonagh, with Ripley pinning Morgan.[5] This would lead to a rematch for the Women’s World Championship between Ripley and Morgan being announced for Bad Blood.
