The Judgment Day’s First Appearance at Triplemania
At the highly anticipated Triplemania show, Finn Bálor will team with Judgment Day members JD McDonagh and Raquel Rodriguez to face off against Mr. Iguana, Niño Hamburguesa, and <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/nxt/”>WWE NXT standout Lola Vice. This match highlights The Judgment Day’s historic move to perform on a global stage outside of WWE for the first time, emphasizing the faction’s growing influence in the wrestling world.
Following the announcement, Bálor took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his support with a brief message that also acknowledged his backing of fellow wrestler Dominik Mysterio for his upcoming trip to Mexico.
“Finn Bálor , hermano…. 🇲🇽,” wrote Bálor.
Finn Bálor Reflects on Dominik Mysterio’s Development in WWE
In a thoughtful discussion on The Ringer podcast, Finn Bálor spoke about Dominik Mysterio’s evolution as a wrestler since stepping out on his own in WWE. Bálor praised Mysterio’s rapid growth both in-ring and in character work, highlighting his resilience despite limited formal training and lack of NXT experience.
“Once he stepped out from under that tree and started fending for himself, he’s just been a completely different animal. Not only the growth he’s shown outside of the ring and on his promos and his character work, but his growth inside of the ring has been absolutely monumental for someone who has had very little training, no NXT experience pretty much. Most of his training has been done on the job, on live TV. This kid is the future of the business, in my opinion.”
Bálor’s comments underscore Mysterio’s impressive trajectory, positioning him as a significant figure in wrestling’s future landscape.
Recent Achievements and Future Prospects for Judgment Day Members
Currently, Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh hold the World Tag Team Championship, having taken the titles from The New Day. Mysterio, on the other hand, recently captured the Intercontinental Championship after pinning Bálor at WrestleMania 41, where he also ended Bron Breakker’s reign.
Looking ahead to Triplemania, Dominik Mysterio has the opportunity to become a double champion by competing for the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way match against reigning titleholder El Hijo del Vikingo, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano. This contest could further elevate Mysterio’s status in international wrestling circles.
The Judgment Day’s debut in AAA signifies a new chapter for the faction, expanding their reach and influence across wrestling promotions. This move not only solidifies their presence on the global stage but also signals potential future cross-promotional collaborations that could reshape wrestling narratives worldwide.
