Finn Balor might be interested in recruiting a fifth member of The Judgment Day. Barring The Bloodline, there has been no faction in WWE as impactful in the last year as The Judgment Day. Despite Damian Priest and Balor both improving, it has been Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley that has taken the spotlight.

On the latest episode of RAW, Finn Balor teased recruiting the former Cruiserweight Champion JD McDonagh. The 33-year-old star was one of the NXT picks in this year's edition of the WWE Draft. He competed in the Battle Royal on his debut, hoping to make an instant impact by getting a title shot against the Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

He was eliminated instead and found himself in front of Dolph Ziggler, who he brutally assaulted to make a statement. He was seen leaving the building afterward, but Cathy Kelley managed to catch up to him before that happened.

When he expressed his desire to make an impact, the camera was subtle, but Finn Balor could be seen observing. In case you don't know, Balor is one of the men who trained JD McDonagh when he was just 16 years old.

After the Cruiserweight Classic, McDonagh was referred to as a Balor-lite version, but not in a positive way. After making his mark on NXT UK, he jumped to the main NXT brand and finished his run this year.

This is what fans on Twitter had to say about McDonagh being teased as the newest member of The Judgment Day.

Finn Balor pinned a current Champion on the latest episode of RAW

In the main event of RAW, Finn Balor and Damian Priest faced the Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Paul Heyman was seen earlier making deals with Balor, Priest, and later the trio of Imperium.

It was Imperium who came out and provided enough of a distraction to allow Balor to hit the coupe-de-grace on Sami Zayn and pick up the win.

It was a huge win for them, and right before RAW went off the air, Balor said that he would see them after Night of Champions 2023.

This is because Owens and Zayn will defend the Undisputed Tag Team Titles against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. It will be interesting to see how everything in this story plays out.
