The Judgment Day faction has undeniably left its mark on WWE in recent times, and following a setback on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, JD McDonagh is eyeing a grand opportunity at WrestleMania XL.
In the six-man Gauntlet match on the March 11 episode of the red brand, the 33-year-old Irish superstar faced off against Ricochet to determine the No.1 contender for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.
Despite a valiant effort, McDonagh fell short as he was pinned by the high-flying Ricochet, ending his quest for the title shot.
Undeterred by the defeat, the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion took to Instagram to make a bold claim. Sharing a snapshot from the intense match, McDonagh expressed his unwavering determination to make it to the Grandest Stage of Them All.
“My eyes are still on Mania [WrestleMania],”
he asserted, maintaining his focus on the prestigious event.
The Judgment Day dynamics might be on the verge of a shift, as veteran journalist Bill Apter weighed in on the potential departure of Dominik Mysterio from the faction.
Despite the former NXT North American Champion’s prominence as a heel character within the group, Apter suggested that Mysterio could part ways with The Judgment Day and potentially join the LWO stable.
Apter speculated on the dynamics between Mysterio and Rhea Ripley, hinting at a possible separation due to Mysterio’s decision to challenge Gunther for a singles match without consulting Ripley.

Apter proposed,
“What if Dom Dom becomes a member of the bad side of the LWO? Leaves Judgment Day and becomes a member of the LWO. It’s an excellent transition, I think into another bad guy role for him.”
In the midst of these potential factional shifts, Dominik Mysterio’s recent courageous performance against Gunther received praise from the Intercontinental Champion, underscoring the ongoing complexities within The Judgment Day and the intriguing storylines shaping the WWE landscape.
