Finn Balor reacts after controversial win on WWE RAW; sends a message amid tension with Dominik Mysterio
Finn Balor has reacted after he and JD McDonagh retained the World Tag Team Championship against the War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW. Despite Balor not seeing eye-to-eye with Dominik Mysterio lately, the 27-year-old came to the aid of The Demon and McDonagh and helped them retain the title.
Balor and McDonagh won the World Tag Team Title on the June 24, 2024, edition of Monday Night RAW. With Liv Morgan's assistance, the duo defeated Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) to capture the gold. Their first successful title defense was against The New Day during the September 16 episode of the flagship show.
Following the latest title defense, Finn shared a set of photos from Monday Night RAW on his X (Twitter). He reacted to his and JD's win with a four-word message.
"154 Days… And [sic] Counting," Balor wrote.

Vince Russo questions Finn Balor and JD McDonagh's win on Monday Night RAW
As mentioned above, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh retained the World Tag Team Championship against the War Raiders after interference by Dominik Mysterio on last night's RAW. However, Vince Russo criticized Balor and McDonagh's title reign, claiming they had lost credibility.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, the former WWE writer stated that he had no idea why the Triple H-led creative team was "keeping the belts on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh."
"I don't know why they're keeping the belts on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. I have no idea why they're keeping the belts on those guys. Those two guys mean absolutely nothing. So, you just beat another tag team in the Vikings [War Raiders]," he said.
Notably, the changes within The Judgment Day began at the 2024 SummerSlam Premium Live Event when Dominik Mysterio and The Prince betrayed Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest respectively.
Following Priest and Rhea Ripley's exit, Liv Morgan, Carlito, and Raquel Rodriguez were officially added to The Judgment Day. The faction is seemingly on the same page despite the recent tension between Dirty Dom and the former Universal Champion.
