Finn Balor breaks silence after failing in Damian Priest move on WWE RAW
WWE SummerSlam 2024 saw the fall and the resurrection of a new Judgment Day at the hands of Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio. While The Prince had already cost Damian Priest his World Heavyweight Title in Cleveland, he seemingly wasn’t done with him and ambushed him unsuccessfully on this week’s RAW. After failing to land a blow, Balor has now sent a message to The Archer of Infamy.
Finn Balor is a former WWE Universal Champion who earned himself a World Heavyweight Title match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2023. However, Damian Priest tried to cash in on Rollins the same night, resulting in Balor losing his chance to win.
This was probably the moment when the seeds of hatred were first planted in the mind of Finn Balor. Notably, he also saw The Archer of Infamy grow narcissistic with time, as he publicly stated that he didn’t need The Judgment Day, rather the group needed him. Now, the rebuilt faction has kicked out the Puerto Rican star after stripping him of his source of egoistic behavior - his World Heavyweight Title.
The Irishman posted two photographs on Instagram showcasing stills from his loss in 2023 and Priest’s loss in 2024, with a vengeful message.
“I waited a YEAR.”
Interestingly, however, there is a chance that Priest may not stay isolated for long and could retaliate against The New Judgment Day very soon.
Damian Priest can launch an offensive with a new WWE faction by his side
Currently, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are outnumbered two to five against Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, and Carlito. Thus, they will face a lot of problems in taking the group down. But, both former WWE champions can recruit other superstars on WWE RAW to retaliate against their former faction.
The Judgment Day members have made several enemies during their time on WWE RAW. Dominik Mysterio hates his father Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman wants to rip JD McDonagh apart, and Zelina Vega despises Liv Morgan as much as she hates Rhea.
Other than this, Jey Uso seems to be interested in building a closer relationship with Rhea Ripley. Thus, he can also tag along to help Mami and the new group if needed. It would be interesting to see if The Eradicator and The Archer of Infamy can gather these potential allies and exact revenge from their backstabbing ex-crew.
