The Judgment Day added two new members to the group on last night's Monday Night Raw.
JD McDonagh and Drew McIntyre were both welcomed into the fold on the November 13th edition of the show, though both might have agreed to the deal on slightly different terms.

McIntyre shockingly interfered in the main event Tag Team Title match between Champions Finn Bálor and Damian Priest and Challengers Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. All WarGames participants were banned from interfering following a brawl earlier in the show, but 'The Scottish Warrior' struck Uso with a decisive Claymore before revealing - via handshake with Rhea Ripley - that he was onside with the group.
McDonagh's anointment came earlier in the show after months of campaigning from the former NXT star. Having worked alongside and interfered on behalf of the crew to individually win the respect of Bálor, Ripley, Dominik Mysterio and finally Priest last night, JD was rewarded with full membership to the group. He ate a spear for 'Señor Money In The Bank' earlier in the broadcast to seal that deal.

McIntyre and McDonagh make five for Raw's strongest unit ahead of the Survivor Series WarGames showdown with Rhodes, Uso, Sami Zayn and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The babyfaces are expected to name their own fifth man on next week's go-home show.
