Judgment Day was in Finn's locker room discussing their next plan to get back at the Terror Twins. They have lost to them in Bash In Berlin and Finn was upset at the outcome.
Finn was pacing around the room while the Judgment Day members looked at him with a blank expression on their faces. Finn begins talking as he paces around the room, and throws his hands into the air.
“So what is this? We lost to the Terror Twins and now they get to go around bragging how they beat us in numbers advantage.” Finn complains.
JD looks sympathetic as his friend keeps pacing around the room.
“Well they not going have the last laugh around here, we are the Judgement Day and we are meant to be taken seriously.” Finn complains more.
“Finn, will you calm yourself down before you destroy the locker room?” Liv said in authority voice.
Finn sighs heavily and stops pacing around the room, he then sits down on the chair and puts his head into his face.
Finn puts his hands away from his face and looks at the crew. “They not going get away with this.”
“You damn right they not.” Dominik said as he was holding his other eye.
“We have Dominik with a black eye, Liv has a bleeding finger, and the rest of y’all got beaten so easily.” Finn complains more.
JD didn’t say anything because he knew his friend was right…they were beaten so easily and their plan didn’t work.
Finn looked at Carlito as he was sleeping and this caused him to be even more angry and he stood up with a fist in his hands.
JD immediately shakes Carlito to prevent him from facing Finn's wrath. “Wake up!”
Carlito wakes up immediately from McDonagh Yell and immediately says. “Yes Judgment Day is stronger together and we beat the Terror Twins.”
The group groans at Carlito's delusions and Finn spats out. “You not even listening and you passed out the minute I was talking!”
Carlito shrunk back afraid that Balor was going to possibly hit him but JD speaks up to stop it.
“Finn stop it, he is just tired like the rest of us and he possibly needs a break.” JD said to his friend.
Finn scoffs at this and paces around the room again and when he stops he looks at his crew with a determined look on his face.
“Things need to change around the Judgement Day. We can’t beat the Terror Twins like this and things have to change.” Finn said.
“We know the Terror Twins is not done with us. Rhea certainly going want Liv title so here the change we going have to do.” Finn said with venom in his voice.
The rest of the Judgment Day began to listen to Finn very closely like he had some sort of big plan he was ready to tell.
“Each Man in this group going to attack Rhea. No mercy, straight forward attack with kick and punches.” Finn said.
Each group member of the Judgment Day except for Balor looks at each other for sec and Liv can’t help but speak at this weird plan of Balor.
“I’m sorry…what?” Liv manages to say.
“We going attack Rhea.” Finn said again.
JD can’t help but disagree with his mentor and friend. “We can’t hit a woman Finn…”
Finn looks at JD as he speaks. “Why not? You scare to hit a woman?”
JD immediately shook his head. “That not it it that-“
“Ok stop it,” Liv said as she stood up. “WWE is not going allow men to hit a woman Finn and even if they did, there is no way am letting my Dom face off against that monster.”
Finn sighs heavily again and he paces around the room again. “Well, things need to change around here.”
“I see you all back in the car.” Finn said as he left the locker room.
The Judgment Day stays silent at Finn leaving and Carlito can’t help but say. “Wow, he is crazy.”
JD looks at Carlito like he joking. “Don’t talk to Finn like that.”
“But he-“
”You guys stop it!” Liv yells out. “You about to make my Dom scare and you guys know it.”
Jd sighs as Dominik begins to speak up. “I wonder what Finn's plan is?”
“You know Finn better than we do JD, do you know?” Liv said as he raised her eyebrow.
JD shook his head. “No, unfortunately, I don’t.”
“Well am sure he will let us know when he comes up with one.” Liv said as he cuddled with Dominik.
JD smiles as he picks up his tag titles and is packing up. “Yeah, I’m sure he will let us know.”

JD was busy speaking to Pearce about the tag titles. Judgment Day hasn’t defended their tag titles in months and Pearce was getting pissed off about it.
“Do you know how many superstars complain to me when you guys going defend your tag titles? Kofi, Chad, and Kross complain they want their match for those titles.” Pearce said angrily.
“Yeah well, they not on our level to earn those shots.” JD shrugs.
“They certainly are on a level more than what you guys are.” Pearce retorted. “Right now There will be a number one contender for those tag titles and you and Finn going to defend them Next week on Raw. Do you understand me?” Pearce said with authority in his voice.
JD sighs angrily. “Fine.”
JD gets out of Pearce's Office and as he was returning back to his Locker room he was met with Jey Uso with his YEET glasses.
Oh JD can’t stand him.
“Oh if it isn’t the big-headed Irish ace.” Jey grins out. “Did Pearce finally force you guys to defend your championship?”
“Get lost Jey.” JD said not in the mood.
Jey smiles. “I pin the tag champs like what? 2 times? I think I have the right to stay here and speak.”
“But as much as I want to brag and all the other stuff I want to do with you, I have something else I need to speak to you with.” Jey said.
“And what is that?” JD said getting impatient.
Jey puts on his thinking expression as he taps his cheek. “So I was wondering how it feels to be ordered around with the new leader and all.”
JD laughs at this. “New leader? Have you been paying attention? We don’t have a leader in Judgment Day, we make our own choices.”
“Own choices you say?” Jey said intrigued. “Well did Finn order you to say that? Or was it your own choice?”
JD raises his eyebrow. “What you talking about?”
“Come on JD everyone can see in this Locker room Finn is the new leader in Judgment Day, we ain’t stupid.” Jey said.
JD shook his head. “Well, you guys are certainly stupid if you keep thinking that. Finn said there was no leader and that was his words, he doesn’t order us around.”
“Did Finn order you to face Damian after SummerSlam?”
JD was about to respond but his mouth was still open. Finn did order him to face Damian, that wasn’t JD's choice at all.
“Well…no.” JD manages to say.
Jey can’t help but smile. “Ooooh looks like your friend out here lying to everyone. This will be an interesting breakup.”
JD glares. “They're not going to be any breakup Uso. My best friend knows what he is doing and he is not like Rhea or Damian who boss us around.”
Jey laughs. “Oh, Uce you said that yet he probably orders Carlito and possibly Dominik to face Damian before Bash In Berlin. That Finn knows what he doing and he did everything behind y’all guys back.”
JD scoff. “You better get out of here before I knock your skull out.”
“What for speaking the truth?” Jey grins out. “I better get going anyway, Mami and I are going out on a date after Raw and I need to prepare myself, YEET.”
Jey walks away from JD and JD can’t help but hear Jey's voice in his head of what he saying about Finn being the new leader, Finn said there would be no leaders in Judgment Day so he trusts Finn that there would be no leaders.
Right?
JD started walking back to their locker room to tell Finn about having to defend their tag titles, as he saw Finn's locker room he opened the door, and what he saw shocked him.
Finn and others were laughing together with another woman.
Raquel Rodriguez.
JD was confused, what was she doing in Finn's locker room? Why does it look like she is buddies with Judgment Day?
JD clears his throat gathering everyone's attention and as soon as he does Finn looks at his friend with a smile like he is happy he arrives.
“Oh JD! You came back, how was the meeting with Pearce?” Finn asks.
JD saw everyone staring at him and he couldn’t help but be confused. So nobody going to mention why Raquel Rodriguez is in the locker room?
JD ignored those thoughts and said. “We have to defend our tag titles next week.”
Finns groans angrily. “Why am I not surprised? Of course, Pearce does this just to get the tag titles of Judgment Day.”
Finn was busy groaning while JD finally asked a question that was still a mystery. “So anyone going tell me why Raquel is in Finn's locker room?”
Liv, Dom, and Carlito look at each other while Finn happily replies in a cheerful voice. “JD meet our newest Judgement Day Member Raquel Rodriguez.”
JD can’t help but widen his eyes. New member?
Raquel walks to JD with a smile with her hands in front of him. “Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you JD.”
JD within a few seconds shakes Raquel's hand and Raquel goes back to where she was standing before. JD has so many questions on his mind…
“So Raquel did Liv ask you to join us?” JD said a bit confused.
Liv smiles. “Oh no Finn was the one who called her, I was just helping him to convince Raquel to join us.”
“Yup and now we got a powerhouse to attack Rhea.” Finn smiles.
JD could only nod in response. It was kinda weird Finn did all this without telling Judgement Day about Raquel, except Liv of course.
Finn claps his hands gathering everyone's attention. “Ok, so we going give the Terror Twins the beating that they deserve, JD you be facing Damian again while Dom and Carlito are in your corner.”
JD could only widen his eyes again, did his friend just Order him to face Damian again? Or maybe it was something else that they had planned for the former world champ?
“But I lost to Damian before…” JD can’t help but say.
“No, you didn’t it was a Dq because I saved you remember?” Finn said. “You were handling yourself out there with him and with Dom and Carlito by your side it will be much easier.”
“And if Rhea interferes, Raquel and Liv will finish her off for you to get the win.” Finn said simply.
“And what you going be doing?” JD asks noticing his friend is not going to come out with them.
“Sitting here attacking Damian from behind when his guard is down what do you think?” Finn says with a smile.
JD just stares into Finn's eyes. He wasn’t bothered by this before, but after Jey's talk, Raquel, and now this? JD doesn’t know what to think.
“Don’t worry JD.” Carlito says wrapping his arm around JD. “We be sure to protect you and those Terror Twins is going get what coming to them.”m
JD nods with encouragement on his face, Carlito is right that JD can beat Damian in a match and he surely has faith in him.
Right?
“In the meantime.” Finn said breaking JD's thoughts. “I will be going to Adam to discuss our tag titles and adding JD match with Damian.”
Finn left the room and as soon as he closed the door Raquel and Liv started talking again. JD managed to pull Dom away and whisper in his ears.
“Do you notice something weird about Finn?” JD asks.
Dominik shrugs. “I haven’t noticed anything. He probably stress out about Bash in Berlin.”
JD stood silent but he nodded and took Dominik's words truthfully. Finn surely knows what he doing and that is why he asks for a match between JD and Damian.
JD grabs his set of tag titles so he can be ready to go in the ring. This time he will beat Damian.
He just has to.

JD was busy filling up his water bottle as his water bottle was empty from the drinking.
Judgment Day has been a joke lately. JD lost his match against Damian even with help from his family, and what's funny is He didn’t even get any real offense in on Damian.
Damian ragdoll him around the ring while JD was just taking hits. Damian this time has been the one gotten stronger while JD feels like he has just gotten weaker.
This is crazy considering before JD was on par with him by his friend's words, but he just got decimated and overpowered by the former Judgement Day member.
Judgment Day was lucky they were standing tall in the end when Raquel and Liv helped deal with Rhea in the post-attack. With few sneaky attacks and cheap moves, they stood tall just barely even with Raquel's help.
Sami and Jey officially won the tournament and became number one contenders and on Raw, they officially won the tag titles off Judgment Day.
Yes, they lost the tag titles in their first defense and Balor was pissed off.
Finn luckily manages to convince Pearce to get him and JD a rematch for the tag titles. As much as JD wants to be happy about that, he can’t help but feel he doesn’t want the title match.
Not because he scared off Sami and Jey of course, but more like the day with their title defense he was the one taking most of the hits in the ring while his friend just stood there on the apron almost doing nothing.
Whenever JD wants to tag Finn says to him loud enough for him to hear that he isn’t ready yet and stick to the plan…yeah that plan was for JD to wear down Sami and Jey so that a fresh-off Finn can do the rest, that what Finn said to JD at least.
Even when Finn is tagged in Sami and Jey still manages to overpower him, and Finn quickly tags JD back which JD actually raises his eyebrows at this that he wouldn’t be surprised if the camera got it.
JD was the one that got pinned and that is how they won the tag titles off him. Finn reassures his friend it wasn’t his fault and that they would get a rematch, but JD has this sneaky feeling his friend secretly thinks it is his fault.
This is strange because JD never thought his friend blamed him for something before…
JD finished filling up his water bottle and as he was ready to go back to Finn's locker room he was suddenly pulled by someone.
JD was about to attack when suddenly the lights were on and he saw Rhea Ripley was the one that pulled him into the closet.
“Didn’t expect me?” Rhea spat at him.
JD was about to open the door to get out but Rhea immediately stood in front of the door to guard it, he grit his teeth as he so wanted to punch Rhea but he knew he couldn’t even even they were not in the ring.
“Let me out now.” JD said angrily.
“I suggest you whisper because if you yell or scream, you know I can beat you inside this closet.” Rhea whispers angrily.
JD just glares at Rhea as he says. “Why are we whispering?”
Rhea ignored his question as she angrily said. “What the fuck is Raquel Rodriguez doing in Judgement Day?”
JD blinks his eyes but then he can’t help but smirk. “Why? You jealous she taking your place in the group?”
Rhea scoffs as she whispers angrily again. “ Why would I be jealous of women who couldn’t even win a world title, and hasn’t made that much of a difference being in your group? You know in most beatdowns I outsmart her a number of times and put her down.”
“Something is not right here.” Rhea said as she crossed her arms. “There no way Raquel would come back and join Judgment Day without some sort of royalties.”
“Raquel didn’t ask for money.” JD said.
Rhea looks at JD as if he is an Idiot. “I’m not surprised that big head of yours doesn’t know that there are different meanings of royalties.”
JD gives her a look expressing he doesn’t care what she says, but Rhea doesn’t care either.
“So I ask again, what is Raquel doing in Judgment Day?” Rhea asks firmly.
“I don’t know.” JD said truthfully. “She said it was her secret to keep, and that she has her reasons for joining.”
“So she didn’t join because of Liv?” Rhea raises her eyebrow.
“Like I said I don’t know, maybe Finn or Liv knows but I don’t know.” JD said getting annoyed.
“Your leader really out there making decisions-“
“You too?” JD said scoffing. “Finn is not the leader of Judgment Day, we all make our own decisions and plan our battles.”
“You said that yet that man hasn’t even told you and the others about Raquel did he? Who idea was it to get her in Judgment Day anyway?” Rhea asks raising her eyebrows again.
“That's none of your business.” JD said simply.
Rhea was silent for a moment before responding. “I’m only speaking to you because Damian is concerned and because of me being suspicious of Raquel.”
JD can’t help but chuckle. “Damian? concern?”
“Don’t ask me because after what the both of y’all said in that promo after SummerSlam, it surprises me he feels that way.” Rhea said.
Rhea crossed her arms. “Your “family” I saw them talking outside together, they were laughing about something that I didn’t bother hearing about.”
JD raised his brows at what Rhea said, they were talking outside and were laughing? About what?
“I was already there talking with them, I just need to fill up a bottle of water.” JD said lying to Rhea.
“Sure…” Rhea said suspiciously. “Either way am just out there to warn you. Damian was right you are already betrayed and am just here to deliver the message.”
JD shrugs. “Yeah well, I’m going to have to decline that message because I don’t care what you have to say. So you should just let me leave now.”
Rhea just grins at JD. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Jey told me all about your guy's talk and I would trust his words if I were you.”
JD ignores Rhea and Rhea just opens the door for JD and he is finally out.
JD with a bit of suspicion in his mind decided to go outside and see if Rhea was right about what she said, as he did he saw Finn and the rest of the Judgment Day talking and laughing about something.
Rhea was right.
JD walks towards the group and the second they see him they immediately stop talking and laughing and wave at JD.
JD feels so much suspicion about what is going on. Why did they suddenly stop talking and laughing as soon as they saw him coming?
“JD you are back.” Dominik said smiling.
JD has a strained smile on his face as he said. “Yeah…I’m back. So what you guys were laughing about?”
“Oh, just some joke that Raquel made up that made us laugh.” Liv said smiling.
“Oh.” JD said starting to understand. “So what was the joke?”
The group stood there silent and JD was about to say something when Finn intervened. “So I have some great news to share with you, all of us are going be at ringside for the title match so it could increase our odds against Jey and Sami.”
“That's great.” JD said not really thinking it a great news in this circumstance.
“Yeah, so we definitely going be winning back our tag titles.” Finn said determined.
JD felt his friend was talking to him, but his mind had been clouded and his head was hurting from the suspicion of everything that had been happening.
JD sighed and began talking with his friends on the tag team title match.
XXX
“Finn we need to talk.” JD said getting in his friend's hotel room.
Finn was busy reading something when he saw his friend come in through the door, Finn was surprised that the door wasn’t locked and had to make a note to lock the door.
“JD? What up?” Finn said putting his book down.
JD didn’t waste any time. “What is going on?”
Finn was confused. “What do you mean?”
JD frustratingly sighs. “This whole “plan” and the “leader” thing in Judgment Day, what is going on? Because from what am seeing everything starting to become different.”
“JD-“
“No Finn I just want answers!” JD yells as he can’t take any more paranoia in his head. “Tell me the truth, are you secretly the leader in the Judgment Day? And that whole no Judgment Day talk was just a lie? Are you hiding something from the family? Just tell me what is up!”
JD sees Finn's eyes widening, he couldn’t tell but he guessed Finn is looking pretty sympathetic on hearing his friend's outburst in his room.
“JD there is nothing going on, there are no leaders in Judgment Day. Where do you get that idea from?” Finn ask confused.
JD was pacing around his room with his hands on his head. “You ordering me to face Damian? After SummerSlam and after Bash in Berlin?”
“I just thought you would want revenge because of Damian not accepting you in Judgment Day after SummerSlam. After Bash in Berlin, I just thought you would want revenge on that loss too since you were holding up against him.” Finn said.
JD stops pacing as he looks at his friend. “Raquel joining Judgment Day?”
“I admit I should have told you and our family about Raquel, but me and Liv wanted it to be a surprise to show you guys how to deal with Rhea.” Finn said.
JD only furrows his eyebrow as he notices something doesn’t add up on his friend's statement.
“What about me being some type of punching bag during those tag team title matches with Sami and Jey?” JD asks.
Finn's eyes widen with shock “What? You're no punching bag JD, I never thought of you like that at all. The only reason I want you out there more than me is because I see you as a future star, and you being out there would show the world how awesome you are.”
“Even if we lost against Sami and Jey the second time with our group together, you still make a huge name for yourself. Sooner or later this family including you will have all the gold and we show the Terror Twins we don’t need them at all.” Finn said smiling.
JD's eyes looked to the side as he couldn’t look at his friend at the moment. They lost against Sami and Jey and his friend used the same plan and tactics on the first match with them, he can’t help but feel frustrated.
Finn's excuse sound…plausible? Of course, his friend wouldn’t want Damian to face him that easily, Finn wants to play mind games with Damian to get the upper hand and he understands that.
JD doesn’t understand tho about the Raquel situation. What is the benefit of being a surprise and thrown in the face about a potential new member without consulting the family about it?
Finn gets up from his bed and goes to JD as he puts his hands on his shoulder. “I’m sorry JD, I know how much I put you through. I promise you tho I’m not trying to be the leader in Judgment Day, we are family and there are no leaders as I said.”
“And to make that clear, next Raw the Judgment Day going go in the ring and I would fix the issue. Does that sound alright?” Finn smiles.
JD looks at his friend, the person who has been mentoring him and helping him become a wrestler to start his career. Finn was the one who believed in him and brought him up with Judgment Day, so it does make sense to believe his words.
JD smiles. “Yeah, it sounds alright Finn.”
Finn smiles back and they both embrace each other as they settle the misunderstanding between the two.
XXX
“So Finn says he wants to address the confusion that has been going on? Did you know what it is?.” Liv asked as she was doing her nails.
JD was putting on his Judgment Day shirt as he spoke. “He is addressing what been going on with Judgement Day.”
“He is?” Dominik ask confused.
Liv scoffs. “Oh good. I didn’t want to say it but there something been going on with that man for awhile.”
“Yeah, I agree.” Carlito said.
Raquel was busy doing her makeup as she spoke. “We are opening the segment, so get ready guys.”
“I will meet Finn near the entrance way, me and Finn will wait for you guys there.” JD said.
“Understood Irish Ace.” Dominik said.
JD leaves the locker room and as he is walking he encounters Damian who seems to just arrive backstage.
Damian saw JD and smiled. “So I heard Finn will be addressing Judgment Day in the opening segment tonight.”
JD glares at Damian. “Yeah? What about it?”
Damian shrugs. “Nothing, am just surprised he taking this long to see what he has been doing to you guys.”
“FYI Damian he has no idea what he doing but when he realizes what he is doing he feels bad about it.” JD said.
“No idea what he doing?” Damian chuckle. “This is the same guy who plans to get revenge on me for a year now. I wouldn’t trust his words if I were you.”
“Yeah, just like what You, Rhea, and Jey said together right? What are you guys trying to do? Try to drive a wedge between me and my friend? Try to break up Judgment Day? Or what secret plan are you along with Rhea and Jey planning?” JD spits out.
“If we were planning a secret plan JD we were of done it a long time ago.” Damian said rolling his eyes. “We are just trying to save you from getting backstabbed from-“
“There will be no backstab.” JD cuts him off. “There no leader in Judgment Day and this whole thing you doing with Rhea and Jey needs to stop because we ain’t disbanding.”
Damian grins. “Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Just know as much as I don’t like you, I rather you be okay than be heartbroken by being stabbed in the back by your best friend.”
Damian walks past JD and JD looks back with a scoff on his face and keeps walking to meet up with Finn.
They eventually meet up and the rest of the Judgement Day too. The opening segment was about to happen and they started doing their entrance as they walked to the ring.
JD feels some type of normal as they do their entrance, like some type of closure that he needs to get his mind off what Damian said.
Judgment Day arrives in the ring with their mics in their hand, after the theme ends Finn is the one who speaks up.
“Now I understand you guys and maybe most of these idiotic fans are questioning my role in Judgment Day, well am here to set things straight.” Finn said.
“I say this a few times but I say it again, there are no leaders in Judgment Day, and am tiring of having to explain this to everyone.” Finn said.
Finn look at his family, “But I notice you guys have been affected by my attitude lately, and you guys didn’t deserve that at all.”
Carlito crosses his arms as he smiles. “Yeah, you have been kind of a…”
“Power trip?” Liv finishes.
“Yes but am thinking of something else.” Carlito put his hand under his chin.
Finn chuckles. “Don’t worry about it you guys, JD basically tells me what I need to hear, and Judgment Day needs to change.”
Liv along with the rest looks worried as they stare into Balor.
“What kind of change?” Liv asks.
“Myself of course” Finn exclaimed. “I shouldn’t be treating you guys like trash after Bash in Berlin and me and Liv should have explained to you guys about Raquel.”
“So I want to say that am sorry and I hope you guys can forgive me.” Finn lowers his head sadly.
JD and the rest look at each other and each gives a nod as they smile.
“Of course Finn we forgive you.” JD said.
“I haven’t been in Judgment long time like you guys, but I know you just making a mistake.” Raquel smiles.
“Yup.” Carlito said.
“Me and Liv forgive you Finn.” Dom said.
Finn grins “Thanks guys, you are the best. And I promise they are no leaders in Judgment Day and I would change myself.”
Raquel smiles and shouts. “Group hug everyone?”
The Judgment Day smile and within a few seconds they hug each other together ignoring the boos from the crowd.
It was an emotional moment for the family.
“GAHH!!” JD screams.
The Crowd's voice was silent as they saw the display of what happened.
JD felt like he wanted to throw up as his stomach felt like it was hurt in an instant, he was processing the shock but he felt his balls were full of pain.
JD for a brief moment saw what had happened.
The women's world champion Liv Morgan low blow JD Mcdonagh from behind.
JD falls down as he clutches at his bottom and for a brief moment he opens his eyes and sees a shocking display.
Judgment Day was surrounding him and JD managed to barely sit up as he saw the display.
Dominik has a grin on his face.
Raquel looks angry.
Liv has a snarky look.
Carlito's face was smiling.
And Finn's face was…cold.
JD's face is shock and disbelief as he tries to back away while sitting up on the ground, he slowly starts to realize the horrifying truth.
The Judgment Day, his family, and the one friend who took him in are turning on him.
Rhea, Jey, and Damian were right.
The Judgment Day started laughing at their actions as together they started jumping JD all together.
JD can barely raise his arms to defend himself, he was being mauled by everyone including Liv and Raquel.
JD felt his body being lifted up and for a brief second he saw Raquel was the one lifting him up, she body slammed him on the ground and Dominik did a frog splash to do more damage.
That hurt.
JD shouted in pain from impact felt his hands being dragged and realized he going outside of the ring. His head made a thud on the floor and he felt overwhelmed by attack again.
Liv nails cut the left side of his cheek, JD felt it stinging as he was being attacked together by her. The Irish Ace felt himself being picked up and was thrown into the steel steps.
JD rolled in pain, a few seconds later he felt his hair that was untied now being grabbed and his head was now face-first into the steel steps.
JD felt his ears ringing and couldn’t help but scream more, his body was placed down on the ground, and for a brief moment, he saw Finn do a coupe de grace from the steel steps onto his stomach.
The Irish Ace clutched his stomach in pain and he could hear his former friends talking but he couldn’t hear because of the ringing in his ears. He felt himself being picked up and both his arms were held together, he felt a steel chair hit his head which knocked him down completely.
Judgment Day picks up JD and they throw him into the ring post where he limply falls to the ground in pain. Finn Balor goes to the announce table and throws away stuff on the table as Raquel picks up JD.
JD felt himself being in the air and was being carried, he then felt his whole body being slammed on the announce table and he cried out in pain.
Everything hurts.
JD could barely hear anything with the ringing in his ears, was the crowd booing? Is he imagining it? Everything was a disaster for him and he has no idea what to think.
JD's eyes started to close but then he felt his hair being pulled and he was now in a sitting position, he felt someone breathe in his ears and he saw that it was his now former friend Finn Balor.
Finn Balor was grinning at him, all JD could think about was why? Why is he doing this to him? But Finn keeps grinning at him.
The Rest of the Judgment Day was standing side by side as Finn's face was level with JD's, he was speaking towards him but JD was tired and in so much pain to hear what he had to say.
Finn let go of his hair and his body again was limply on the ground, JD as his vision was getting blurry saw Finn and the rest raise their hands together like they always do after winning a beat down.
And it was at that moment JD fell unconscious.
Finn sees this and grins at Dominik and the camera crew, he then goes down on the ground puts JD In a sitting position, and grabs his head as he makes a pose on camera.
“Make sure to get a good photo out of this, want to place this picture in our new clubhouse later.” Finn grins more.
The camera crew with hesitation points the camera at Finn and the Unconscious body of JD as they keep filming them.
It was that day that things officially changed for the Judgment Day.
