WWE has officially begun teasing the new Judgment Day member on-screen so we’ll see what’s
going on there.
We’ll also check out some very surprising comments from John Cena, and more
Let’s start things off with the first teaser for The Judgment Day’s latest new member
It wasn’t that long ago where Finn Balor verbally confirmed that The Judgment Day was
looking to expand
Then a few weeks after that, reports started going around that WWE was serious about expanding
The Judgment Day and how JD McDonagh was the individual they were looking to add to the
group
However, it was all rumors at the time so everyone was taking the reports of this new
Judgment Day member with a grain of salt
But that brings us to the May 15th edition of Raw where it seems like WWE has given the
first hint that JD is officially on his way to The Judgment Day
JD McDonagh made his Raw debut by taking part in the number one contender’s Battle Royal
match for the Intercontinental championship
After getting eliminated from the Battle Royal, JD found Dolph Ziggler right in front of him
so JD took the opportunity to make an example out of Ziggler and put the Raw roster on notice
So JD unleashed a brutal attack on Ziggler before walking away
Cathy Kelley then caught up with JD, trying to get his explanation on the random brutal
attack on Dolph Ziggler
JD McDonagh said that he came to Raw to make a statement and thought that Dolph Ziggler
would be the perfect superstar to make that statement against given all of the accomplishments
that Dolph Ziggler has achieved
JD says that soon the entire roster will know not to bet against him
JD starts to walk off into the parking lot and as the camera rolls back over to Cathy
Kelley, Finn Balor can be seen in the background up on top, for quite literally half of a second,
just keeping a close eye on JD as he walked away after the interview
Which appears to be actual confirmation that the rumors and reports of JD heading over
to The Judgment Day, to be the faction’s first new addition since Dominik Mysterio,
appears to be true
Now the connection between Finn Balor and JD McDonagh is very deep
They’ve known each other for a very long time and JD was even trained by Finn Balor
himself
So that’s all real life history that will most likely come up and be implemented to
WWE television once Finn and JD reunite onscreen
But it looks like Finn Balor is keeping a close eye on his old friend and was very impressed
by the things that JD accomplished during his first ever night on WWE Monday Night Raw
JD unleashed a brutal attack on a former world champion, gave a very confident explanation,
and had a great highlight video that aired on Raw as well
So just all these great things that left a good first impression on not only the fans,
but also on Finn Balor as well
Now of course JD will not be in The Judgment Day literally by next week, it won’t happen
that fast
it looks like the entire addition of JD joining The Judgment Day will be something that will
be teased and hinted at for weeks to come
We already saw Finn Balor watching JD from afar, so maybe we can get another few backstage
moments of Finn keeping an eye on JD
And then from there, we can probably advance to seeing Finn Balor and JD even talking backstage
in the background of another segment
That’s something that Triple H and WWE has been doing a lot of in recent months, they’ll
advance two or three storylines all in one segment by showing certain things going on
in the background of the main camera shot
Sort of like they did with Finn Balor in this moment right here, sort of like how they had
Paul Heyman talking to the Judgment Day while Becky Lynch was walking her way to the ring…
they’ve been doing things like that for a long time now
So a conversation between Finn and JD definitely seems like something they’ll sneak into
the background of one of those sorts of segments
So once we see Finn and JD talking to each other, maybe that’s when the recruitment
could be coming extremely close to becoming official
And even though they’ll likely be a series of JD and Judgment Day background teasers
over the next few weeks on Raw, JD’s actual arrival date in the Judgment Day would still
technically be a surprise because no one knows the moment that it will happen
Maybe Finn Balor will have JD ready to go as a backup insurance plan, so that once a
situation comes up where The Judgment Day is facing some serious trouble, that’ll
be the moment where JD can come in to save the day, save The Judgment Day, and officially
arrive in the group in a major and impactful way
A lot of fans are extremely familiar with JD from his days in NXT, NXT UK, and even
his days before WWE, so those fans already know the greatness to expect from JD
And even the new fans, who were seeing JD for the first time on Raw, loved what they
were seeing from JD and think that he’ll be a smooth fit for The Judgment Day
So that’s definitely something huge to keep an eye on right now
The Judgment Day has brought a lot of major success towards its current members, so JD
should be no different, he will definitely benefit right away from joining a successful
faction like The Judgment Day on Raw

John Cena recently competed at Wrestlemania 39 against Austin Theory
And a lot of fans definitely noticed that something seemed off with John Cena in the
sense that he was treating it as if it was his final match ever
He took a bow before doing some of his signature moves and a lot of fans were looking deep
into that, wondering if it truly meant that John Cena was done in the ring for good
Well John Cena recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and explained where his mindset
and physical body is at right now for when it comes to competing in WWE, he had this
to say about that topic, quote:
“I wish I was still there in WWE every day.
My body can’t do it anymore, and I don’t want to give the consumer a bad product.”
End quote
So it was definitely a quote that made headlines everywhere and really affected many fans on
an emotional level to hear those words come from John Cena’s mouth
And even still, some fans are diving deeper into this quote, trying to figure out what
exactly it means
Is John Cena saying that he can’t wrestle on a weekly basis anymore because his body
wouldn’t be able to keep up with it, so he’s gonna limit and space out his matches?
Or is John Cena saying that his body can’t do it anymore at all, even on a limited amount,
and that he’s completely done in the ring for good?
That’s the part where fans are still unsure about
Even if John Cena can squeeze out literally one last match so that he can go out on top
with a big win, that’ll be a nice send-off for one of the all time greats
It’s been a while John Cena picked up a singles premium live event win, just around
five years since his last big singles win
So if Cena really is starting to see the sunset of his in-ring career, it would be really
nice to see him at least put that losing streak to an end before hanging up the boots for
good
So hopefully we do get even one last match and farewell tour for John Cena before he
walks away
