The WWE Universe saw major cracks in The Judgment Day as Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio had an intense confrontation. Balor called out "Dirty" Dom for losing the Fatal-Four Way number one contender's match and allowing Damian Priest to challenge for the World Heavyweight Title.
Mysterio brought up Balor's failures, including his loss to Priest and unsuccessful world title pursuits. They almost came to blows before Liv Morgan intervened.
During the argument, there were subtle signs of Balor breaking free from The Judgment Day and creating his own faction. On that note, let's look at five superstars who can join Finn Balor if he quits The Judgment Day to form a new stable.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 & #4 Carlito and JD McDonagh are good friends with Finn Balor
Trending
Murmurs of a potential split grew louder with Balor's recent Instagram post. The first-ever Universal Champion posted a picture of himself with Carlito and JD McDonagh, with The Judgment Day's name in the background.
McDonagh and Balor hold the World Tag Team Championship. Hence, the duo sticking together makes sense if a potential split occurs. Carlito worked his way into The Judgment Day, and The Prince supported his inclusion. On countless occasions, Balor has vouched for both men.
If The Judgment Day implodes, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodgriguez will certainly side with Dom, but Carlito and McDonagh will likely follow Balor's lead.
#3 & #2 Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson
When Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson returned in late 2022, Balor was part of The Judgment Day. Gallows and Anderson sided with AJ Styles, re-forming The Original Club (OC).
The OC recruited Michin and remained united for a year. However, when Styles returned as a heel, he walked alone and was extremely harsh to his former friends. Since the split, Gallows and Anderson have struggled to remain relevant. They had an unsuccessful tag title pursuit in NXT and were barely featured on TV. Their luck could change if Finn Balor breaks free from The Judgment Day.
Balor is also good friends with The Good Brothers, dating back to their days in Japan. Reuniting The Club could be a great option, giving The Prince familiar allies and The Good Brothers some perspective.
#1 Sheamus and Finn Balor are fellow Irishmen
Sheamus and Finn Balor are from Ireland, but their origins have seldom been a hot topic of discussion on TV. Either way, despite spending years on the main roster, the former world champions have rarely crossed paths.
The Celtic Warrior and The Prince are friends, and WWE could use this friendship to create an on-screen alliance. Their contrasting styles would create an interesting dynamic, but their common origin could bind them together.
The faction doesn't have to operate on nationalistic or xenophobic rhetoric, but exploring an alliance between them could be worth the effort.
