On this week’s WWE RAW, Dominik Mysterio, alongside The Judgment Day, betrayed fellow member Finn Balor, disrupting the group’s dynamic. Mysterio later addressed Balor directly on social media with a brief but pointed three-word message.
Just a week earlier, Mysterio lost the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Penta during Monday Night RAW. Balor and JD McDonagh were present at ringside but Balor stopped Mysterio from effectively using a hammer, which contributed to Penta’s victory.
Confrontation Escalates Between Mysterio and Balor Before The Judgment Day’s Attack
This week’s RAW featured a tense confrontation between Mysterio and Balor, escalating when Mysterio shoved Balor. Balor responded with a Pele Kick, which then triggered The Judgment Day to assault their former ally. Following the incident, Mysterio posted a cryptic message on Instagram aimed at Balor.
“@finnbalor I shot ya…👹” wrote Mysterio.
Damian Priest Reflects on His Own Betrayal by The Judgment Day
Damian Priest, once a member of The Judgment Day and tag team partner of Finn Balor, was himself ousted from the group after SummerSlam 2024. Originally inducted by Edge, Priest was part of the stable’s initial lineup, which included Rhea Ripley. After Edge’s exit, Balor and The Terror Twins took over, running out Priest.
Priest responded to the betrayal with a sharp remark on X, underscoring the pain of the split.
“Sucks doesn’t it?”
Since leaving The Judgment Day, Balor has shifted focus back to singles competition. He recently challenged CM Punk twice for the World Heavyweight Championship but fell short both times. The first match took place in Belfast, earning Balor a loud ovation from the crowd, and the second was at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Chicago. After the latter match, Balor and Punk shook hands, signaling a possible return to a heroic role for Balor.
Impact and Future Prospects Following The Judgment Day’s Internal Division

Dominik Mysterio’s public message may further fuel this unrest, while Balor’s ongoing singles career suggests possible new rivalries ahead. Fans will likely watch closely to see how these conflicts develop and what consequences they have for future WWE events and championships.
