This WWE Superstar to replace Finn Balor in Judgment Day’s tag team title match against War Raiders Next week

JD McDonagh and Judgment Day are ready to face the War Raiders for the tag team championship next week.

Finn Balor and Damian Priest battled in the most gruesome match of their career in WWE. Damian Priest delivered a Broken Arrow to Finn Balor over the equipment. The officials took an injured Finn Balor on a stretcher but Damian didn’t want the match to end like this. He attacked Finn Balor while he was tied to a stretcher and threw him inside the ring.

Finn Balor and Damian Priest continued to hurt each other. Damian delivered a Razor’s Edge to Finn outside the ring and Finn went through the table. He followed it up with a South of Heaven inside the ring to seal the fate of Finn Balor. Finn Balor has been out of WWE ever since.

Who will replace Finn Balor as the tag team partner of JD McDonagh?

Jd McDonagh got support from Dominic Mysterio to face War Raiders. Finn and JD McDonagh were scheduled to face WWE tag team champion War Raiders on January 27, 2025. Finn Balor’s injury posed a threat to JD McDonagh to forfeit the match. JD McDonagh was one man short and Dirty Dom entered as a helping hand.

Finn is out of WWE owing to a neck injury. WWE has neither shared any update on the extent of his injury nor did they confirm the time of his return to WWE. JD McDonagh, however, confirmed that Finn would not be back for next week’s match against War Raiders.

Things between Judgment Day have not been smooth lately. Dominic Mysterio and Finn Balor were not seeing eye to eye and having arguments regularly. Liv Morgan was also seen mocking Finn Balor. WWE might be planning to plant another heel in Judgment Day.
