Finn Balor makes request; WWE champions replaced in big match

Finn Balor made a special request tonight on RAW. He asked his stablemates to replace him in a big match.

The Judgment Day has dominated Monday Night RAW for a long time. They have wreaked havoc on whoever stood in their way. Over the past few months, the group has undergone a major change as they kicked out Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley from the faction while adding Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to their ranks.

However, they have still maintained their dominance. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh hold the World Tag Team Championship, and Morgan is still the Women's World Champion. However, Balor and JD have the War Raiders breathing down their necks.

Erik and Ivar became the number one contenders for the World Tag Team Championship on the October 28 episode of WWE RAW. However, the champions are in no hurry to face them.

Tonight on the red brand, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio got into a brief confrontation backstage, but things quickly diffused. Balor then asked Dom and Carlito to step up and replace him and JD McDonagh next week against the War Raiders.

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. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
