Finn Balor makes conflicting statement on The Judgment Day's WWE status
The Judgment Day has ruled WWE with no leader since giving original founder Edge the boot just a few months after the faction was formed in 2022. The no leader ideology was reiterated earlier this year when Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were booted ahead of the faction's reboot. However, Finn Balor's latest statement has caused a stir within the WWE Universe.
Tensions have been building within The Judgment Day due to unfortunate events in recent weeks. Last night's RAW saw Balor give his stablemates a pep talk, declaring fun and games to be over and adding that they are one big, happy, successful family. Finn and JD McDonagh then retained the World Tag Team Championship over The War Raiders, thanks to an assist by Carlito and Dominik Mysterio.
WWE cameras later caught up with the Irish champions backstage. Balor made interesting remarks on the inner workings of The Judgment Day while apparently taking credit for Monday's successful title defense.
"Like I said, there are no leaders in The Judgment Day, but when people listen to Finn... things seem to go right around here, huh? Because we're still the champs!" Finn Balor said in the video below.
Monday's loaded live RAW episode marked just the second televised title defense for Balor and McDonagh. After dethroning Awesome Truth on the June 24, 2024, edition of RAW, Finn and JD did not defend the titles until their win over The New Day on September 16. Their next televised title defense came this week.
Updated lineup for next week's WWE RAW
World Wrestling Entertainment will return to Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington, for next Monday's RAW. This show will feature the fallout from Survivor Series: WarGames and the continued buildup to Saturday Night's Main Event and the Netflix premiere in January.
Next Monday's RAW will include The New Day's 10th anniversary celebration. Set to air throughout the episode, the tribute will feature live and pre-taped segments with Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods.
The tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Intercontinental Women's Champion will also begin next week, but no participants have been confirmed. Officials are also teasing R-Truth vs. Pete Dunne for next Monday.
