Recently, WWE fans expressed their discontent after the news that the group “Judgment Day” could change their name to “Street Trash”. The possible modification generated a strong reaction among the followers, who manifested their disruption in a forceful way.
Earlier this week, it was reported that “Judgment Day” was about to suffer a name change, and “Street Trash” was the main option considered by the WWE. However, this proposal was not well received by the fanatic community, who expressed their rejection through various platforms.
According to an update of Wrestlevotes, the WWE has decided to put aside the idea of changing the name of the group, in response to the negative reaction of fans. Although the original name will be maintained, the phrase “Street Trash” will be incorporated as a nickname of the group, an idea that arose directly from Finn Balor, one of the team members.
The process of incorporating “Street Trash” in the dynamics of the group was already so advanced that the concepts of merchandising had been completed and approved before it was decided to keep the original name. Wrestlevotes shared in a publication:
“It seems that they listened to the protests. According to a source, the name 'Judgment Day' will remain, but the slogan 'Street Trash' will be integrated into the image of the group. The idea of 'Street Trash' comes directly from Finn Balor, and the concepts of merchandising are already ready and approved.”
Sounds like the new iteration of The Judgment Day WILL NOT be changing their name to ‘Street Trash’ due to online backlash.

This turn in events demonstrates an example in which the WWE pays attention to the opinions of its fans base, who have shown their influence on significant creative decisions as we saw in the last edition of Wrestlemania.
