Finn Balor and JD McDonagh will put their World Tag Team Title on the line against The War Raiders this Monday on RAW, but this time General Manager Adam Pearce has added a stipulation to the contest.
The Judgment Day is banned from ringside, meaning that Carlito and Dominik Mysterio will not be allowed to interfere and help their friends win the match and retain their title.
This stipulation turns things upside down for Finn Balor and JD McDonagh and makes their title defense challenging, to say the least. Meanwhile, Adam Pearce's stipulation allows a former World Champion to interfere and cost his former friends their title.
This former World Champion is Damian Priest. Priest is currently embroiled in a feud with Balor, as the latter cost him the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam and Survivor Series, respectively.

The two superstars got a title opportunity at Saturday Night's Main Event but failed to dethrone Gunther in a Triple Threat Match. This time, The Punisher could show up and distract Balor and McDonagh, costing them the title and getting revenge on his former stablemate.
On this occasion, it is very likely that we will see Finn Balor and Damian Priest collide on the RAW premiere on Netflix on January 6 in a match that could settle their rivalry.
WWE legend expects Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to lose their World Tag Team Title Monday on RAW
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh have defended their World Tag Team Title very few times since they became World Champions nearly six months ago.
This time, they will have a rematch with The War Raiders and WWE legend Tommy Dreamer is not optimistic about the outcome of the battle for The Judgment Day.
During an appearance at the Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer said he expected Finn and JD to lose their World Tag Team Title on Monday night.
"If I could use my little crystal ball here, I would say that Finn Balor is not winning [at] Saturday Night’s Main Event. I will say then he will have another bad night on Monday and [Balor and JD McDonagh] will lose the tag team titles, and we’ll have new tag team champions — a bunch of vikings," Tommy Dreamer said.

It remains to be seen whether Balor and McDonagh will retain their title or if The War Raiders will become the World Tag Team Champions.
