JD McDonagh has a small part to play in the triumphant victory of the Judgment Day at Payback. McDonagh advanced his hand towards the group for being their ally. He also gifted Damian Priest a custom Money in the Bank briefcase. Following this week’s RAW, Rhea Ripley sent a message to McDonagh after he attempted to be friends with Damian Priest.

The Eradicator replied to McDonagh’s post on X, where he wrote, “A friend of a friend.” Rhea responded to this statement as she wrote, “Don’t push it. Baby steps.” The Women’s World Champion advised JD to be easy with Damian and not rush it. This was a clear indication that Ripley was still contemplating his inclusion in the faction.

JD McDonagh has been a prominent member of the RAW roster lately. His involvement in the matters of Judgment Day has been interesting to watch. It remains to be seen whether he will be a part of the heel faction as he looks for a place in the group. On the other hand, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest are still pondering on this.
