Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Finn Balor and JD McDonagh retaining the World Tag Team Championship. The two stars faced The War Raiders in a title match on the latest episode of RAW.
Balor and McDonagh got help from Dominik Mysterio and Carlito, who helped them neutralize Erik and Ivar this week. Dirty Dom and The Caribbean Bad Apple distracted the referee and caused a lot of chaos, allowing The Irish Ace to pick up the win for his team.
During this week's Legion of RAW, Russo questioned WWE's decision to keep the World Tag Team Championship on Balor and McDonagh. He felt that The Judgment Day members had lost their shine and lacked credibility. The 63-year-old veteran pointed out that The War Raiders' loss to the reigning champions this week dented their credibility in the division:
"I don't know why they're keeping the belts on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. I have no idea why they're keeping the belts on those guys. Those two guys mean absolutely nothing. So, you just beat another tag team in the Vikings." [From 10:52 onwards]

With this win, the duo of Finn Balor and JD McDonagh have now held the World Tag Team Championship for a staggering 154 days.
It will be interesting to see which WWE tandem finally dethrones them for the gold in the coming months.
