The go-home Raw episode of WrestleMania is officially in the history books. The big star studded night exceeded expectations with explosive segments and entertaining matches. In one of the bouts, The Judgment Day got to warm up before their big title defense at the Show of Shows. #DIY teamed with The New Day to take on the evil faction in tag team action. However, one half of #DIY, Johnny Gargano, met with a major botch during the match.

This took place when the 36-year-old Superstar hit a suicide dive on Dominik Mysterio. The Ohio native crash-landed, hitting his head on the announce table. Fans were worried for Gargano, speculating whether he suffered a concussion. Fortunately, the Raw Superstar took to X to affirm he was alright after the match. Moreover, he hyped his fans and teased the extreme lengths he would go to at WrestleMania.

Both #DIY and The New Day will challenge The Judgment Day in a six-pack challenge at WrestleMania XL. Earlier, it seemed that Awesome Truth would challenge the heel faction after months of buildup. Moreover, #DIY was supposedly out of the match card at the pop-culture extravaganza amid helping The Miz and R-Truth against the faction. Thankfully, WWE decided to book the ladder match to have multiple teams perform at the biggest PLE of the year.

Both Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano will make their ‘Mania debut this year. Fans are eager to witness the six-pack ladder match. #DIY has held the NXT Tag Team titles before but has yet to hold the gold on the main roster. Hence, they will be looking to win the big ones at the Showcase of the Immortals and solidify their main roster spot.
