This past Monday on WWE RAW, Finn Balor was brutally attacked by his own faction, Judgement Day, in a surprising betrayal. The incident unfolded at ringside during Dominik Mysterio’s Intercontinental Title match against Penta, where Balor accompanied JD McDonagh and Mysterio.
Earlier in the match, when Mysterio asked McDonagh for a hammer, Balor intervened and insisted Mysterio should secure victory without outside assistance. This distraction allowed Penta to capitalize and claim the Intercontinental Title, much to Mysterio’s dismay.
Tensions Explode Between Balor and Mysterio
On this week’s RAW, an irate Dominik Mysterio confronted Finn Balor. Balor arrived with JD McDonagh and initially apologized. However, he soon criticized Mysterio, claiming he had not learned anything despite Balor’s efforts to train him. Balor escalated the tension by repeating a disparaging remark supposedly from Rey Mysterio, Dominik’s father, calling his son a “spoiled bi**h.”
The situation quickly deteriorated when Mysterio struck Balor, who retaliated, triggering a brawl. Unexpectedly, McDonagh turned on Balor with a powerful clothesline. Soon after, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez joined the assault, targeting Balor with coordinated attacks.
Dominik Mysterio Delivers Final Blow in Vengeful Retribution
Dominik Mysterio took violent revenge by striking Balor unconscious with the hammer earlier mentioned. He then secured the weapon in his boot and executed the 619 move on Balor while McDonagh restrained him against the ropes. The attack culminated with Mysterio performing a frog splash from the top rope onto a chair placed across Balor’s chest, leaving him severely incapacitated.
Judgement Day Clarifies Their Message After the Betrayal
Following the episode, Judgement Day members Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio posted a video on WWE’s official Instagram, sending a clear warning to Finn Balor and anyone who might stand in their way.
“Liv Morgan: What did we say? When you listen to Fiiiin…
Dominik Mysterio:…you don’t win. You should’ve known by now, Finn. This was the game. This is how it’s always been played. And you taught me best. Dirty Dom out.”
This video firmly establishes the faction’s ruthless new direction and signals ongoing hostility toward Balor.
