Finn Balor and JD McDonagh are set to defend their World Tag Team Championship against the War Raiders on next week's RAW. On the latest edition of the flagship show, general manager Adam Pearce declared that members of The Judgment Day would not be allowed at ringside for the match.

This means Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Carlito won’t be able to back up the defending champions, putting them in a tough spot against the strong team of Erik and Ivar. However, to counter this, Finn Balor could call on his six-foot-eight-inch friend, Luke Gallows, to help him retain the tag team title.

Gallows, a longtime ally of Balor, has a shared history with The Demon from their days in NJPW as part of the legendary Bullet Club. They even teamed up in WWE as part of The Balor Club, proving their solid bond in and out of the ring.

Since The Judgment Day can't step in, the 43-year-old might turn to Gallows for some support. The American Beast is not involved in any storyline because Karl Anderson is currently sidelined due to injuries. His involvement would not only give Gallows something meaningful to do but also highlight his bond with Balor in a high-stakes match.

This potential decision might not sit well with the rest of the group. Given the existing tensions within the faction, Balor's potential decision to bring someone like Gallows from outside could exacerbate the situation. It might spark doubts about the former Universal Champion's loyalty to the stable.

It's still uncertain whether Gallows will come to support Balor and McDonagh, and right now, it's just speculation. If he does decide to show up, it could change the game for both the title match and the future of The Judgment Day. Let's wait and watch.


Finn Balor is also scheduled to face Gunther and Damian Priest at Saturday Night’s Main Event

Finn Balor is set to take on Gunther and Damian Priest in a Triple Threat Match for The Ring General's World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.

The reigning champion was initially set to defend his gold against The Prince in a singles match. However, the encounter was turned into a Triple Threat last night following a massive brawl between Gunther, Balor, and Damian Priest.

This intense matchup raises the stakes for Balor in the coming days, especially since he and JD McDonagh will also be defending their tag team title against the War Raiders next Monday.

If Finn Balor fails to capture the world title on December 14 and then drops tag team gold on RAW, it could hurt his credibility, especially with rumors of a big push in 2025. It'll be intriguing to see how he manages these crucial matches.
