3 Reasons why The Judgment Day are still World Tag Team Champions
The Judgment Day members Finn Balor and JD McDonagh defended their World Tag Team Titles against the War Raiders in a hard-fought match. The bout concluded with the villainous faction retaining their titles, surprising many fans.
Their victory was secured after interference from Dominik Mysterio and Carlito, which allowed JD to capitalize with a roll-up pin. In this article, we’ll explore three reasons why Balor and JD retained the World Tag Team Championship.
#3. The end of The Judgment Day might not be on the horizon
One reason why Balor and JD retained their World Tag Team Titles is that the end of The Judgment Day does not appear to be imminent. Moments before the match, Finn Balor attempted to assert his leadership, a move that seemingly didn’t sit well with Dirty Dominik. Despite this tension, the RAW faction showcased unity, with Dominik playing a pivotal role in their victory.
This suggests that the faction’s downfall isn’t happening anytime soon despite ongoing rifts and subtle hints of dissension. WWE may have chosen to extend their title reign to further develop this storyline and maintain their dominance on RAW.
#2. WWE might not have decided yet against whom Finn Balor and JD McDongah will drop their title
The War Raiders emerged as strong contenders to dethrone Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. However, despite their impressive performance, they ultimately lost.
This points to another possible reason behind Judgment Day's victory, as WWE may not yet have decided which team will eventually dethrone the villainous faction. As a result, the titles remain on the shoulders of Balor and JD, even after this week’s episode of RAW, despite the credible threat posed by the War Raiders.
#1. WWE could be waiting for a perfect stage for the same
The Judgment Day storyline continues to be a significant part of RAW, which could be why WWE is waiting for the perfect stage to have them drop the titles. This presents another reason behind their victory against the War Raiders.
It’s highly likely that whenever Balor and JD lose the Tag Team Titles, internal conflict will arise within the faction. Dropping the titles on a grander stage would be the best way to capitalize on this development in the storyline of the villainous group.
It’s plausible that the Stamford-based promotion is holding off for the ideal moment to make this happen. The RAW Netflix debut show or Royal Rumble 2025 could serve as the perfect setting for The Judgment Day to lose their World Tag Team Titles, adding maximum impact to their eventual downfall.
