In recent weeks, Finn Balor has asserted himself as the leader of The Judgment Day despite the faction’s claims of having no designated leader. This behavior continued on the most recent episode of WWE RAW during a backstage segment. Báalor criticized Dominik Mysterio for The Judgment Day's loss the previous week when Dirty Dom and Carlito were defeated by the Viking Raiders.
However, the former Universal Champion tried to spin things positively, emphasizing their focus on defeating their rivals moving forward. Balor also mentioned Liv Morgan needing an ally for her WarGames match against Rhea Ripley at Survivor Series. Throughout this commanding session, Dominik Mysterio’s subtle reactions spoke volumes.
While the rest of the faction seemed attentive, Dominik’s facial expressions suggested he was uninterested and possibly irritated by Balor’s leadership behavior. The former NXT North American Champion appeared visibly frustrated, hinting at deeper tension within the group. This isn’t the first sign of discord, as a few weeks back, heated arguments between Dominik and Balor further fueled speculation of a potential betrayal.
Meanwhile, during the recent segment, Finn Balor reaffirmed that The Judgment Day has no defined leader, describing the faction as a happy and successful family. However, Dominik Mysterio’s behavior suggests otherwise, and Balor should remain cautious about this.
It will be intriguing to see how The Judgment Day’s dynamics evolve in the coming weeks. Also, it remains to be seen whether Dominik Mysterio ultimately betrays Finn Balor due to his overbearing behavior or if the faction will find a way to mend their growing rift.
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh finally faced the War Raiders in a Tag Team Title match on a recent episode of RAW. However, the match ended unexpectedly, with the villainous faction members emerging victorious and retaining their titles.
A significant part of their victory can be credited to Dominik Mysterio. The Dirty Dom not only interfered in the match but also saved JD McDonagh by placing his leg on the ropes when he was inches away from losing.
After Finn Balor and JD secured the win, Dirty Dom joined them in a celebration at ringside. This segment, which initially showed Dominik seemingly annoyed with Balor and later aiding him to secure victory, suggests that a betrayal might be looming, but it’s not on the immediate horizon.
These developments could be part of a long-term storyline, with fans possibly witnessing the end of The Judgment Day on the Road to WrestleMania 41. Additionally, the Netflix debut of RAW could be a game-changing event, potentially altering the trajectory of the group.
