7 Ups & 3 Downs from WWE Raw (19 May - Results & Review)

4. Finn Finally Gives In

In the lead-up to WrestleMania 41, Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio repeatedly said that they needed to add a new member to the Judgment Day, only for Finn Balor to convulse at the notion.

Monday, he changed course and brought Roxanne Perez to the clubhouse for an introduction, conveniently while Morgan was still away shooting her movie scenes. Everyone predictably reacted with trepidation – until Roxanne presented them with gifts (chicken tendies for Dom, and apples for Carlito).

While it’s clear Balor has ulterior motives, he made a good case, noting how the four guys can look after each other in singles and tag matches, but Liv and Raquel Rodriguez as Women’s Tag Team Champions don’t have any backup. Perez could provide that assistance, even without being a full-fledged member.

Rodriguez wasn’t buying any of it and said that Liv would hear about this, a situation that left Finn almost gleeful. The Judgment Day drama is a bit contrived and juvenile, but it works, and it immediately gave Roxanne a storyline to follow, so bully for them.
