Finn Balor assaulted Gunther on WWE RAW after being denied a title shot. He then sent a message to his own Judgment Day stablemate.

Tonight on WWE RAW, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio confronted Gunther. Balor demanded that the Ring General give him a title shot since he helped him defeat Damian Priest at Survivor Series: WarGames. However, the Ring General told him that he didn't need his help since he wanted to show Priest that he could win on his own. Instead of giving Balor a title match, he offered the chance for Dominik Mysterio to face him since he was able to beat Priest.

Dominik Mysterio brought the fight to the World Heavyweight Champion during the match and even hit him with a low blow. He followed it up with a couple of 619s and a frog splash but still couldn't get the pinfall. In the end, Gunther was able to pick up the win.

Following the match, Finn Balor attacked the Ring General and hit him with the coup de grace. He then told Dom to "watch and learn" before he hit the world champion with two more coup de graces.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
