Adam Pearce has been put on notice by a Judgment Day member. The star in question is JD McDonagh.
On this week's Monday Night RAW, Finn Balor demanded a rematch against Damian Priest after losing at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. Pearce rejected Balor's demands and instead announced a World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contenders Tournament.
Taking to Instagram, McDonagh threatened to go against Pearce's rule by claiming that The Judgment Day wouldn't defend the Tag Team Titles unless a worthy tag team stepped up to the occasion.
"Someone needs to tell Pearce, when somebody worthy of a shot steps up, we'll defend 'em. Until then, they're hanging on the wall of the clubhouse," wrote McDonagh
Check out a screenshot of McDonagh's Instagram comment:
Jim Cornette criticized Judgment Day member Finn Balor
Jim Cornette isn't a fan of Finn Balor as a heel. In 2022, Balor turned heel when he joined The Judgment Day and replaced Edge (aka Adam Copeland) in the faction.
At the SummerSlam 2024 Premium Live Event, the former Universal Champion betrayed his now-former tag team partner and Judgment Day stablemate, Damian Priest. Balor's actions cost Priest the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther. The Punisher got his revenge by beating Balor at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.
Speaking on The Experience, Cornette criticized Balor as a heel. He said:
"Finn Balor is not a big f***ing big-time top heel. I'm sorry, but he's got the rag in his back pocket and he's wearing sneakers, and he's got the little voice like that, and he's a foot shorter than Priest, and 40 pounds lighter or whatever it is."
Since winning the WWE World Tag Team Championships in June, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh have successfully retained the titles against The New Day in their only title defense.
The teams that are set to compete in the World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contenders Tournament are LWO (Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee), American Made (The Creed Brothers), AOP, and The New Day.
