The Judgment Day recently regained the spotlight on WWE RAW when Finn Balor and JD McDonagh defeated The New Day to claim the World Tag Team Championship. At the same time, Raquel Rodriguez agreed to maintain the Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside Roxanne Perez amidst Liv Morgan’s absence. Their reigns underscore The Judgment Day’s current dominance in both the men’s and women’s tag divisions.
Despite this success, The Judgment Day’s hold on the World Tag Team Titles may be short-lived. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, key members of Seth Rollins’ faction, are emerging as serious contenders poised to challenge Balor and McDonagh before SummerSlam 2025. Reed and Breakker’s power and alliance with Rollins are contributing to their rising prominence on WWE’s red brand.
Potential Contenders: The Rising Threat of Reed and Breakker
Bron Breakker and The Auszilla — referring to Bronson Reed — have experience working as a tag team. They have previously defeated notable opponents like Sami Zayn and Penta, proving their capacity to function well together. Given their existing chemistry and physical prowess, Seth Rollins might consider pushing them for the tag team titles to escalate his faction’s influence in WWE.
There is speculation that WWE may organize a Triple Threat tag team match that could include The Judgment Day, the team of Reed and Breakker, and possibly Sami Zayn and Penta. Awarding tag team gold to Rollins’ faction would enhance their credibility and secure their position as a premier group within WWE’s RAW roster.
SummerSlam 2025 Venue and Importance for the Tag Team Scene
SummerSlam 2025 is scheduled for August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This major event, often described as
“The Biggest Party of the Summer,”
demands significant storylines and compelling title feuds to attract viewers. WWE will likely want to feature high-profile tag team rivalries, placing The Judgment Day’s championship fate at the center of attention.
Currently, the scenario is speculative, and it remains uncertain if The Judgment Day will maintain their titles leading into SummerSlam. The buildup will be crucial in shaping the tag team title picture on WWE’s biggest summer stage.
Finn Balor’s Reflection on His Tag Team Success Amid World Title Aspirations
Finn Balor, one of The Judgment Day’s top members, enjoys strong fan support not only for his current WWE run but also for his time as Prince Devitt in New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Bullet Club. While Balor’s accolades outside WWE are impressive, he has had limited success with WWE’s top world titles. He was the inaugural Universal Champion but had to relinquish the belt due to injury within a day.
Since then, Balor has made several attempts at the world championship without lasting success. Recently, a fan shared a photo from Balor’s NJPW career, vowing to post it repeatedly until he secured a world title in WWE. Balor responded, teasing that his current tag team championship represented a significant achievement in its own right.
“The tag team title doesn’t count, huh?”
—Finn Balor, WWE Superstar
His comment suggests satisfaction with holding the tag team gold, even as fans continue to hope for a full reign as world champion in the future.
