One of the toughest groups to rally around these days has to be Judgment Day, a faction that wants to be taken seriously, but then has moments like Saturday at Clash at the Castle.

Finn Balor and Damian Priest were battling Rey Mysterio and Edge in a tag bout that saw Dominik Mysterio repeatedly get involved, cheating on multiple occasions to help his father’s team win. The result was Judgment Day eating another loss.

Afterward, Dominik turned on Rey and Edge, and Finn, Priest and Rhea Ripley (who had laid Dominik out for interfering) just sat there and laughed about it. Sure, what else could you do? But this comes after weeks of Judgment Day trying unsuccessfully to recruit Dominik, and then he cost you a match on a huge stage, and all you can do is laugh?

Maybe if Dominik had turned mid-match, or if Judgment Day had won, this would have worked better for everyone involved. But this felt like the trio just laughed off what should have been a serious loss for them.
