JD McDonagh looks back on becoming a part of The Judgment Day.
In 2023, JD McDonagh joined the main roster. He gradually became part of The Judgment Day, though the group initially rejected him. He later became a member of the group in November 2023. McDonagh and Balor went on to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, JD McDonagh recalled how he became a member of The Judgment Day.
“I was just told when I came up to the main roster we’re gonna have you brush off Judgment Day, and that’ll be the way that we introduce you, and we’ll see what way the fans take it,” McDonagh said. “There was the link there between me and Finn that we could work with. But I don’t think there was [a plan of] we’re bringing JD from NXT, and we’ve got this spot in Judgment Day for him.
“I think it was just kind of that was the in for me. I had good chemistry with most of the group, all of the group really, to be honest, and it just seemed like a good fit. And I ended up getting inducted by Priest.”
JD McDonagh is currently sidelined, as he suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs on the January 27th episode of WWE RAW.
