WWE superstar JD McDonagh was constantly trying to join The Judgment Day. Well, it looks like he is very close to achieving his goal on Monday Night Raw. The 33-year-old shared an unusual moment with Rhea Ripley this week on Monday Night Raw. Ripley was excited during Dominik Mysterio’s match and surprisingly hugged McDonagh out of euphoria.

The former NXT superstar earned The Judgment Day’s trust through unwavering loyalty to the group. He joined them and laid out continuous attacks on Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens. JD McDonagh was introduced to the faction by Finn Balor. Initially, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley distrusted him, resulting in occasional match setbacks.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, Dominik Mysterio went one-on-one against Ricochet. McDonagh and Ripley worked together and distracted Ricochet, allowing Mysterio to pick up a quick win through a roll-up. When Dominik won the match, JD and Mami embraced each other, which was shocking and unusual for the WWE Universe.

As a result, JD McDonagh finally broke his silence on this adorable moment. He tweeted the video, saying that it wasn’t a totally bad night, as he lost to Seth Rollins on Raw. The 33-year-old looked quite elated as Ripley finally hugged her, which seems to indicate that she has started trusting McDonagh.

JD McDonagh will face Sami Zayn on the kick-off show at Crown Jewel. On the other hand, Cody Rhodes will lock horns with Damian Priest, intensifying The American Nightmare’s feud with The Judgment Day. It will be interesting to see who comes out victorious at the spectacular event in Saudi Arabia.

JD McDonagh’s fate could be decided at Crown Jewel

Since his debut, JD McDonagh has aligned with The Judgment Day. He aided Finn Balor and Damian Priest in winning the WWE Undisputed Tag Team titles against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at Fastlane. The 33-year-old has been doing everything to become a part of The Judgment Day.

It looks like Crown Jewel could be the place where his fate will be decided. Rhea Ripley has talked about finishing the Sami Zayn problem, as the latter has been constantly hovering over The Judgment Day. As a result, JD McDonagh has the opportunity to finally carry out that task at Crown Jewel.

If he manages to pull an upset at the November 4 spectacle by defeating Sami Zayn, he could make his spot on The Judgment Day. He has already started winning the trust of the members of the faction. Crown Jewel could be the perfect opportunity to prove his allegiance and solidify his spot on the Judgment Day.
