Notable RAW Superstar credits Shawn Michaels for his move to America

The Judgment Day is one of the most popular stables on the roster today. They are heavily featured on the flagship show. All the talents involved have greatly benefitted from this, including JD McDonagh. According to the Irish star, Shawn Michaels was instrumental in bringing him to the fold.

JD McDonagh, while conversing with Alex McCarthy of the Daily Mail UK, elaborated on how he wound up moving to the United States of America, disclosing The Showstopper's involvement:

"I'm so happy that Shawn Michaels told me to take a bet on myself and come to America. It was the best decision I ever made," JD McDonagh said. It was towards the end of my run in NXT UK. Obviously I have a great home life in Ireland, I've got a good circle of people around me and Shawn reached out and said we'd like you to come to America, we think that you've done everything that you can do where you're at so far and we want you to take the next step up."

Two weeks ago, on the December 18 edition of RAW, R-Truth defeated JD McDonagh in a no disqualifications match with a prior stipulation that only the winner will get to be part of The Judgment Day moving forward. Depsite this, it appears the creative team has no plans to go in that direction.
