The Judgment Day recently underwent a major change in its members and structure. Although the group looked more united than ever after SummerSlam, there appear to be cracks in the faction already. The faction’s whole shtick used to be that they had no leader and were all equals. However, it appears that Finn Balor may now want some power for himself.

During a backstage segment on Raw, Liv Morgan said that she, alongside Raquel Rodriguez, would be focusing on their match against Damage CTRL for that night. However, she hoped that Finn Balor knew what he was doing. The 43-year-old chuckled and showed off his World Tag Team Championship belt to her.

Balor walked away saying that if the Judgment Day listened to him, they were all going to win. Rodriguez and Morgan looked at each other in confusion, wondering what exactly he meant by that. Meanwhile, Carlito and JD McDonagh liked the sound of the catchphrase.

It appears that the Women’s World Champion still does not trust Balor completely. After Balor walked away, Liv Morgan asked Dominik Mysterio to keep an eye on the inaugural Universal Champion. It would be interesting to see the power dynamics play out between these two and who gets control of The Judgment Day.

On the latest episode of Raw, Finn Balor seemed dead set on inserting himself back into the world title picture. He initially walked up to Gunther, asking for a shot at his title. The Ring General dismissed him, saying that he had done nothing to deserve a title shot. In fact, the Austrian looked more interested in offering a shot to Dominik Mysterio instead.

Following Gunther’s win against Mysterio, Balor showed up out of nowhere to launch an attack on the World Heavyweight Champion, hitting him with three Coup de Grace’s. Later, Adam Pearce was livid at the Irish superstar. He said that he would have his world title shot at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, he might also have to defend the tag belts at that show.

Balor just might have dipped his fingers in too many pies. He has already aggravated Damian Priest by attacking him at Survivor Series. Furthermore, he will likely have to participate in two separate title matches at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
