Judgment Day member reacts to Zack Sabre Jr. winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship

The Judgment Day member recently reacted to Zack Sabre Jr.'s historic win. The star in question is one-half of the reigning WWE World Tag Team Champions JD McDonagh.

At the King of Pro Wrestling event, ZSJ defeated Tetsuya Naito to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. He previously earned himself a title shot by winning the 2024 G1 Climax and challenged Naito for the title at King of Pro Wrestling, instead of Wrestle Kingdom.

On his Instagram story, McDonagh shared a photo showcasing his respect for Zack after his historic IWGP World Heavyweight Championship win.

"ZSJ," wrote McDonagh.

Judgment Day member JD McDonagh spoke highly of Cody Rhodes

JD McDonagh recently shared his thoughts about Cody Rhodes, calling the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion a "class act."

Speaking in an interview with Irish Wrestling & Entertainment, McDonagh recalled meeting Rhodes on his first day on RAW. He also revealed that the two superstars squashed their beef from an incident at Over the Top Wrestling's Being The Elite event. The Judgment Day member said:

"My first day on RAW, we met up and we squashed the beef, the years-long beef. No, I'd gotten over it by that stage, of course. It's water under the bridge. Cody is a class act. I wasn't even sure he would remember who I was by the time I got to RAW, but he made a beeline for me and let me know that he was sorry about it. I said to him, 'Look, one day you're going to lose that title. You can put me over then.'"

Since moving up to the main roster, McDonagh joined forces with his mentor Finn Balor and eventually became a member of The Judgment Day. On the 24 June episode of Monday Night RAW, McDonagh and Balor won the WWE World Tag Team Championship by defeating R-Truth and The Miz.
