In a surprising turn of events, JD McDonagh and Finn Balor, the Irish duo representing The Judgment Day, have been making waves on WWE TV as a tag team while Dominik Mysterio recovers from injury. Their recent success on WWE RAW has earned them the coveted spot as the new No.1 contenders for the Tag Team Championship. To commemorate this achievement, JD McDonagh took to Instagram to reveal a new name for the duo: “Bray Massive”.
The moniker is a nod to their shared hometown, Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland. Fans are thrilled to see the two Irishmen thriving as a tag team, given their long-standing friendship and professional parallels. McDonagh’s recent induction into The Judgment Day has led to a reunion with Balor, and the two are clearly relishing their time together in the ring.
The “Bray Massive” moniker has sparked excitement, particularly since it pays homage to their Irish roots. The name’s similarity to that of The Kabuki Warriors, Asuka and Kairi Sane’s tag team name, has drawn attention to the flexibility of tag team names within factions. Despite being part of Damage CTRL, the Kabuki Warriors retain their unique moniker, a precedent that “Bray Massive” is set to follow.
The Judgment Day’s decision to bolster their ranks amid injuries to Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio has led to an influx of new talent. Carlito, in particular, played a pivotal role in last night’s match, helping Balor and McDonagh secure their spot in a future Tag Team Championship bout. This display of camaraderie seemingly won over Damian Priest, leader of The Judgment Day.
As the Irish duo continues to make waves, the “Bray Massive” name is set to become synonymous with their thrilling matches and undeniable chemistry. With their sights set on the Tag Team Championship, fans can expect a wild ride as JD McDonagh and Finn Balor, aka the “Bray Massive”, take on the WWE’s top teams.
