The Judgment Day has been experiencing internal tensions within the faction over the past few weeks.
On a recent edition of WWE RAW, Finn Balor suffered another loss after Damian Priest accidentally assisted Balor's opponent, The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. Despite growing cracks in the foundation, the villainous faction continues to operate together on the Red brand.
The widening rift between Balor and Priest has led fans to speculate that the Raw faction might disband soon. Many fans are predicting that Finn Balor might leave the faction and align himself with JD McDonagh, given his frustration with Priest and the botched distractions during his matches.
