JD McDonagh continues with his meteoric rise in WWE, and after having managed to enter the main cast of RAW in May, he also achieved membership on Judgment Day.
On Monday's episode of RAW, McDonagh teamed with Dominik Mysterio against Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn. However, chaos took over the ring when Finn Balor and Damian Priest suddenly entered to attack Rollins.
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso appeared to even things up, and in the brawl that followed, McDonagh earned his place in the largest faction in WWE right now.
Uso was about to Spear Priest when McDonagh tossed him aside and took the hit instead of the now Judgement Day leader.
Judgment Day admitted McDonagh
Although he had intervened on several occasions in favor of the faction, McDonagh was considered only an associate of the group, because he did not have Priest's complete trust.
However, after the events of Monday and after the intervention of Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor on his behalf, Priest put aside his distrust and admitted McDonagh into the group.
In a backstage segment of the episode, Priest gave McDonagh an official Judgment Day jacket and told him that although he had doubts about him at one point, he would now go to war at McDonagh's side.
Are Damian Priest's days numbered?
However, another element could enter the equation very soon, as fans speculate that Priest could be replaced on Judgment Day.
Monday's broadcast showed Rhea Ripley shaking hands with Drew McIntyre after the later cost Rhodes and Uso the tag title on the same card.
The event caused a furor among fans, who are convinced that McIntyre could take Priest's spot on Judgment Day very soon. They are expecting this to happen after Survivor Series 2023, on November 25.
