Dominik Mysterio’s unanticipated loss of the North American NXT championship has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world. The 26-year-old wrestling sensation had reigned supreme as the undefeated champion for over two months, only for his title to be cruelly taken away by NXT rising star, Trick Williams, on a recent episode of NXT No Mercy. While Mysterio processes this heartbreaking defeat, the wrestling community was caught off guard by a surprising revelation from another star, 33-year-old JD McDonagh, who claimed he could have been Mysterio’s saving grace, preventing his title loss.
Wrestling enthusiasts had speculated that Mysterio’s saviors might emerge from The Judgment Day faction, given their history of supporting their members. However, it was JD McDonagh who threw his hat into the ring, professing his willingness to step in and protect Mysterio’s championship had he been called upon. McDonagh’s confidence in his statement was palpable when he declared, “Judgment Day don’t lose when I have to get involved” This assertion hearkened back to a prior instance when McDonagh, alongside Rhea Ripley, played a pivotal role in helping Damian Priest and Finn Balor secure the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at WWE Payback.
In a snarky tweet, McDonagh expressed his belief that Mysterio’s fate could have been different had he reached out for assistance. He stated, “Dom should have given me a call; I guarantee he’d still be Champ right now.” This provocative message from McDonagh adds a layer of intrigue to the aftermath of Mysterio’s title loss and raises questions about the motivations behind McDonagh’s potential involvement.
Judgment Day don’t lose when I have to get involved. Dom should have given me a call, I guarantee he’d still be Champ right now.

Dominik Mysterio’s recent title loss followed a period of considerable success, which included a significant victory against Dragon Lee. As he prepared to defend his title against Trick Williams, confidence filled the air. However, as the match unfolded, Mysterio’s attacks consistently failed to find their mark, resulting in his shocking loss and Trick Williams being crowned the new champion.
JD McDonagh’s ongoing desire to join the heel faction known as The Judgment Day has not gone unnoticed by the wrestling community. He has demonstrated unwavering support for the faction, and his determination to become a part of their ranks may be linked to his relationship with Finn Balor.

JD McDonagh and Finn Balor share more than just their Irish heritage. In a unique mentorship, the 42-year-old McDonagh was trained by Finn Balor, along with another Irish wrestling talent, Paul Tracey. This connection underscores the potential driving force behind McDonagh’s desire to join the heel stable, as he seeks to align himself with his former coach and mentor. It’s a connection that has captured the attention of the wrestling community.
JD McDonagh’s recent overtures toward joining the faction have been notable. On the September 4th episode of RAW, as The Judgment Day celebrated their victories at Payback, McDonagh presented a unique gift to Damian Priest, which happened to be a purple-colored Money In The Bank briefcase with ‘Senor’ emblazoned on it. The members of the faction informed McDonagh that his inclusion would depend on his performance against Sami Zayn. McDonagh managed to secure a victory against Zayn, but as of now, the status of his acceptance into the stable remains uncertain.
As Dominik Mysterio grapples with the emotional aftermath of his title loss, JD McDonagh’s intriguing offer and potential motives for joining The Judgment Day faction present a dynamic that could significantly impact future interactions. Whether McDonagh’s desire to join the faction is solely rooted in his mentorship under Finn Balor or if there are hidden motivations at play remains a topic of speculation and keen interest within the wrestling community.
