The landscape of WWE‘s tag team division shifted dramatically as Finn Balor and JD McDonagh seized the World Tag Team Championship on RAW, casting new uncertainty over The Judgment Day. Amid growing rifts within the group, speculation intensifies around Dominik Mysterio‘s future — especially about a possible reunion with Rey Mysterio to challenge JD McDonagh World Tag Team Championship reign for the first time in almost three years.
Tensions Mount Within The Judgment Day After Title Win
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh’s recent title victory marks a high point for The Judgment Day, but beneath the surface, discontent is brewing. Dominik Mysterio’s visible reluctance during RAW — triggered by Balor’s controversial move to bestow a championship previously held by Liv Morgan to Roxanne Perez — exposes growing discord inside the faction.
This emerging conflict could escalate quickly. If internal strife boils over, Finn Balor, known as The Prince, might oust Dominik Mysterio from The Judgment Day entirely. Such a dramatic scenario could not only deprive Mysterio of the Intercontinental Championship but also propel him to embrace a babyface persona, reversing his recent trajectory in WWE storylines.
Could a Father-Son Alliance Challenge for Championship Gold?
The potential fallout may lead to an emotional on-screen reunion between Rey and Dominik Mysterio, reuniting the father-son duo last seen as a team at Clash at the Castle on September 3, 2022. Both may target Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, aiming for the World Tag Team Championship while The Judgment Day holds all the accolades. However, this dramatic confrontation is unlikely to materialize before SummerSlam, as Rey Mysterio continues to recover from injury and has publicly stated that a WWE return is expected by August.
SummerSlam, set for August 2 and 3, looms as WWE’s next marquee event, but the timeline remains tight. If Rey and Dominik reunite on the opening night, it would mark exactly 1,065 days since their separation in 2022. The anticipation around this possible team-up adds intrigue for fans awaiting a shake-up in the tag team scene.
Despite bubbling tensions, The Judgment Day currently enjoys championship dominance, giving Finn Balor little reason to act against Dominik Mysterio for now. As the group maintains its grip on the gold, underlying issues may be temporarily set aside until significant roster changes or returns force a shift.
Finn Balor’s Maneuvers Could Disrupt Dominik and Liv Morgan
Another layer of discord is unfolding due to Liv Morgan’s extended absence from WWE after a shoulder injury. In her absence, control within The Judgment Day has shifted firmly into Finn Balor’s hands, ending the ongoing power struggle with The Miracle Kid on RAW. Balor’s influence has grown further through his strategic introduction of Roxanne Perez into the stable, actively encouraging Dominik Mysterio to bond with Perez and gradually pushing the two together.
This calculated move by Balor appears designed to fracture the relationship between Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan even further. If Balor’s efforts are successful and Dominik accepts Perez as his new partner, the return of Liv Morgan could trigger a significant storyline shift. The former Women’s World Champion may choose to turn babyface, setting up dramatic confrontations upon her comeback if she discovers her role has been supplanted and her ally’s loyalty has shifted.
At this stage, the outcome remains uncertain and much of this tension is speculative, but the groundwork is in place for significant developments in the coming weeks as the alliances and rivalries within The Judgment Day continue to evolve.
What the Future Holds for The Judgment Day and the World Tag Team Picture
With Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Roxanne Perez reinforcing their positions in the WWE hierarchy, the months ahead promise upheaval for The Judgment Day. Fans are watching closely as the possibility of a Mysterio family alliance looms and Liv Morgan’s eventual return promises further drama. As SummerSlam approaches, the grip on the JD McDonagh World Tag Team Championship could face its greatest challenge yet, especially if tensions inside and outside the group erupt into open conflict. The outcome may redefine alliances and rivalries in WWE for years to come.
