The Judgment Day’s music then hits and Finn Bálor made his way out with Dominik Mysterio, Carlito and JD McDonagh. Bálor says GUNTHER could have given him the title shot he deserved, but instead he gave it to someone undeserving in Dominik.

GUNTHER then says Bálor played second fiddle to Daman Priest. GUNTHER then says Bálor was best in the world for one night eight years ago. GUNTHER then says he is the best in the world now and for thousands of days to come. GUNTHER then says his title belt proves it. GUNTHER then says Bálor won’t leave with the title because he’s not at his level and he never will be. Bálor and the rest of The Judgment Day then climbs up the ring apron.

Pearce also books Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh vs. The Viking Raiders for the WWE World Tag Team Titles for next week’s RAW and says the other members of The Judgment Day are banned from ringside. After Pearce leaves, Liv Morgan mockingly tells Finn Bálor to relax because he has everything under control.

Rollins then says he is happy that Zayn brought that up. Rollins then says he and Zayn have been friends for 20 years and their kids play together. Rollins then asks why he was the first person that Zayn thought of when Jey was laid out. Zayn then says it’s because Rollins was talking like he was out of his mind last week.

Rollins then says he’s not McIntyre. Zayn then agrees and says Rollins is a better person than McIntyre. Zayn then says Punk brings out the worst in Rollins. Zayn then says maybe he shouldn’t have gotten involved. Zayn then says things between Punk and Rollins are worse than he thought possible.
