WWE Payback 2023: 10 Things That Must Happen
4. JD McDonagh Costs Damian Priest
WWE has two choices here: Either JD McDonagh deliberately costs Damian Priest during the tag title match, or it's an accident. The latter is probs best, because then Finn Bálor can argue JD’s corner and creative can stretch this out a little while longer.
Priest leaving Judgment Day seems inevitable, but the company likely fancies stalling on that major story beat for as long as possible. So, after being shoved down by Damian on Raw, Bálor's little buddy should poke his nose in where it isn't wanted as the announcers echo what Rhea Ripley said on Monday.
Basically, Judgment Day is in real trouble if things don't go their way at Payback.
It'd be totally unnecessary to take the Undisputed Tag belts from Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens right now. No, they haven't been lighting it up in a hot division lately by any means, but there's still more to come from the champs this year.
