Fans of Judgment Day rejoice, because you're about to see a whole hell of a lot more of the gang across both major brands (and possibly NXT if WWE sticks with Dominik Mysterio's North American Title run). Damian Priest and Finn Bálor won the Undisputed Tag straps at Payback, which means they can show up wherever they like.

Seeing JD on SmackDown occasionally sounds lovely.

The group is one of the best things about WWE's product these days, and it sucked to think of them splitting during Priest and Bálor's falling out. Rhea Ripley laid down an ultimatum, and the lads came up trumps by delivering on Saturday night. All is well in Judgment land then.

It'll be fun to see where JD hits hardest; they can compete on all fronts. Rhea can run Raw, Dom can work in a feud on NXT, and the Priest/Bálor combo can do great things over on SmackDown. Shifting the tag belts was defo the right call in retrospect (even though this fan predicted a Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn win pre-show!).
