Last week, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce made it official: The New Day would put their WWE World Tag Team Championships on the line against former champions Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day. And tonight, live from the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the purple-clad faction made good on the opportunity.
In a thrilling, high-octane opening contest, The Judgment Day reclaimed their place atop the tag team division, defeating the 12-time champions in a fiercely competitive battle. From bell to bell, the match delivered a back-and-forth showcase of tandem offense, chemistry, and grit. But it was Bálor and McDonagh who outlasted the veteran duo of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, sealing the victory and securing their second reign as WWE World Tag Team Champions.
With this win, The Judgment Day continues to tighten its stranglehold over Monday nights. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio remains the reigning Intercontinental Champion, while the sidelined Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez—despite Morgan’s injury—still hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. The group is once again draped in gold, an ominous sight for any challenger on the horizon.
But what does this dominant resurgence mean for the RAW Tag Team Division? With The New Day dethroned, is a rematch inevitable—or is it time for new blood to rise up? And with Judgment Day back in control, is anyone on the red brand truly ready to challenge their grip on power?
The landscape has shifted. Judgment has been served. And the road ahead may belong to the shadows.
