3 Reasons why The Judgment Day lost WWE World Tag Team titles on RAW
The recent episode of WWE RAW ended unexpectedly when The War Raiders dethroned The Judgment Day to become the new World Tag Team Champions. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh defended their titles, with the rest of the faction members banned from ringside.
Throughout most of the match, they tried their best to assert dominance over Erik and Ivar. The match reached its climax when Balor and JD attempted to use a steel chair to distract the referee and gain an advantage. However, Damian Priest emerged from nowhere.
The Archer of Infamy prevented Finn from exploiting the situation and instead attacked him with the chair. This allowed The War Raiders to capitalize and secure the victory, becoming the new champions. In this article, we will discuss three reasons why The Judgment Day lost their WWE World Tag Team Titles on RAW.
#3. To intensify the feud between Finn Balor & Damian Priest
Finn Balor cost Damian Priest at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 when he was involved in a World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther. The feud between Balor and Priest doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.
One of the reasons why The Judgment Day lost the title is that it intensified the rivalry between these two stars.
With the former Judgment Day member now becoming the main reason behind Finn losing the tag titles, their rivalry has escalated to a whole new level on WWE RAW.
#2. To add a fresh element to the tag team division of WWE RAW
The Judgment Day certainly brings great dynamics to the landscape of WWE RAW, but they still fell short as World Tag Team Champions. There have been a few instances in the past few months when Finn Balor and JD McDonagh defended their tag team titles.
Giving The War Raiders the Tag Team Championship seems like a great decision, as it would not only add a fresh element to the tag team division but also allow the division to truly grow.
#1. Finn Balor's kick out from The Judgment Day is now on the horizon
Rifts have already begun to appear between Finn Balor and The Judgment Day, raising speculation that The Prince might get kicked out of the faction. One of the reasons behind The Judgment Day's loss could be that Finn is now being bashed by the villainous faction, and an exit seems to be on the horizon.
Previously, the former Universal Champion emphasized his greatness by claiming he holds the title and deserves everything in WWE. However, since he no longer holds the title, Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan could mock him, leading to further tensions.
This could eventually result in him being kicked out of The Judgment Day. To speed up this storyline, WWE may have taken the titles off Finn Balor and JD McDonagh.
