Backlash wasn't the first time Damian Priest and Finn Bálor have been at one another's throats. Rhea Ripley had to step in and remind them how important maintaining a united front is to Judgment Day months ago, but that was then and this is now. it feels like the faction is ready to break up.

Ripley isn't here to save the day due to injury, and it's hardly like Dominik Mysterio is gonna be a voice of authority to shout Priest and Bálor down. JD McDonagh has been cast as someone who's trying his best, but Damian has barely trusted him from day one. Brace yourselves for a split.

It's surely on the cards.

Priest wasn't happy with McDonagh or Bálor in Lyon, and even warned the pair about interfering in his matches. That'll be something to watch, and so will Damian's slow burn exit from the Judgment Day ranks. Sorry to any fans, but it's inevitable.
