The main story centers on Finn Balor and his future at Judgment Day. Balor has been quickly gaining popularity in the WWE, but his position has been declining, and this could be his opportunity to make a comeback.

Finn Balor experienced a drop in performance before making a comeback and achieving success again
Finn Balor has faced numerous ups and downs throughout his tenure in WWE. In SummerSlam of 2016, he made history by becoming the first WWE Universal Champion. Regrettably, destiny had different intentions. An injury forced him to vacate the title just 24 hours later, and since then Balor has been trying to regain his position. While he was still in the WWE, his accomplishments have eluded him, leaving fans and analysts to question when he will be back on top. As SummerSlam approaches, the calls for major changes are getting louder. Finn Balor, despite being loyal to Judgment Day, is very competitive. His desire to return to the limelight is too strong to be ignored, and many believe that his betrayal of the party is not a matter of if, but when.
Making a war with Damian Priest
One of the most intriguing elements of this plot is the increasing conflict between Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Priest has climbed the ranks in WWE and currently possesses the Money in the Bank trophy this season. This will increase the intensity for the power struggle in March. Balor, frustrated by Philistine’s recent success, decided it was time to strike.
The idea that Balor might challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship isn’t entirely accurate. In fact, this could spark a real controversy beyond SummerSlam. Balor’s betrayal could lead to a long-term story that would unite former friends in a battle for supremacy. This could be the spark that will fuel Balor’s career and give him the edge he needs to get back to the top of WWE.
Connection with Liv Morgan
Another layer to this scam is Liv Morgan, a name linked to Finn Balor’s future plans. Balor and Morgan’s history goes back to their days in the Bullet Club, when they were united against the same enemy. The relationship led to speculation that Morgan played a major role in Balor’s decision to start Judgment Day.
At SummerSlam, we may see an unlikely relationship. If Balor joins Morgan, it could mark the start of a new chapter in their two careers. Morgan, who has his own interests in the WWE, may see this as an opportunity to strengthen his position and use Balor’s deception as a way to promote his own campaign. Together they become a force that challenges the status quo and shakes the foundations of WWE.
JD McDonagh’s work on fraud
JD McDonagh, who has been close to Balor in recent weeks, added fuel to the fire. Their partnership resulted in a WWE Tag Team Championship, which may have been a major factor in Balor’s transition. Macdonagh, who is known for his loyalty to Balor, may follow him to a new team, where he could compete at Judgment Day.
There have been some subtle hints about recent WWE events, with Macdonagh talking to Liv Morgan backstage on an episode of Raw. This seemingly innocent interaction could be the start of a bigger idea, one where MacDonald and Balor abandon their current partners and choose a new, more ambitious path.
Rhea Ripley’s area of weakness
In the midst of all the rumors, one lingering question persists: How does Rhea Ripley fit into the equation? The Eradicator has always been the dominant force in Judgment Day, but his recent loss has raised eyebrows. While he was gone, Damian Priest, Balor and J.D. checked on him. McDonagh seems to be alone. This may indicate that Ripley was not fully aware of the violence in his groups.
Ripley is in trouble, especially with Liv Morgan’s involvement in the mythology. If Morgan is using Dominik Mysterio as a distraction, Ripley may be shocked by what is happening right before her eyes. This lack of awareness may be where Balor and MacDonagh begin to execute their plan to turn SummerSlam into a night of betrayal and chaos.
SummerSlam kicks
As SummerSlam approaches, anticipation is building. The betrayal by Finn Balor at Judgment Day could go down in history as a WWE storyline that significantly impacts the company in the upcoming months. Supporters are eagerly anticipating Balor’s potential comeback to the top, even if it involves turning against former friends. The stage is set, the only question left is if Balor can seize the moment.
