One of the most popular factions in WWE is the Judgment Day. At one point in time, the faction was dripping in gold as every member of the group had a championship. Last year, two members of the faction, Finn Balor and his friend, the Irish Ace JD McDonagh won the WWE World Tag Team Titles.
During his recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast, JD McDonagh reflected on winning the tag team titles with his long time best friend Balor.
JD McDonagh shares how much Finn Balor meant to him
“I said to you earlier WWE was the goal. But if you had to put a gun to my head when I was 14 years old and said, What’s your ultimate fantasy dream in wrestling? I would have said, win the Tag Titles with Finn. Honestly, so I looked up to him a lot because obviously the age difference. He’s 9-10 years older than me, and he’s lit the way for me in a lot of ways, showing me that it is possible.
“I felt kind of for a long time I was chasing him, trying to catch up to him. He did Japan, so I did Japan a few years later. He made it to America, and it took me a little while but I made it to America, and then for it all to kind of culminate with being his partner and lifting the Tag Team Titles together. It was super hard for me. I feel like, if I talk about it for too long, I’ll get emotional. It was so, so fulfilling and such a full circle moment for me on him training me. He felt the same way about it,” JD McDonagh said.
Currently, McDonagh is sidelined due to an injury he suffered during a title match on Raw.
