The terrain of The Judgment Day has been shaken to its core, as tensions between Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor have reached a boiling point. After the recent events at Survivor Series, it seems that the future of the group is heading down a uncertain path. The once harmonious unit now finds itself on the brink of disintegration, with Mysterio’s fate hanging precariously in the balance.

Mysterio’s alignement with Liv Morgan is the only constant, as his relationship with Balor appears to be beyond repair. The Prince’s decision to cost Damian Priest the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series has caused a rift that might be impossible to mend. The Punisher’s attack on Balor in the parking lot after the show only fueled the fire, resulting in a chaotic brawl involving The Judgment Day members JD McDonagh and Carlito. Mysterio, however, was nowhere to be found, a stark departure from his usual seat among the group.

This silence has sparked speculation that Mysterio’s days within The Judgment Day are numbered. The multiple reasons behind Balor’s failure to confide in Mysterio about his plans point towards a potential exit for the former WWE Superstar. Although this doesn’t necessarily mean a babyface turn, Mysterio and Morgan could potentially branch out on their own, leading to a breakup angle if Triple H chooses not to keep them together. The Women’s World Champion has already achieved her goal of turning Mysterio against Rhea Ripley, leaving no clear direction for her character.

Furthermore, Mysterio’s success in winning the NXT North American Championship twice and defeating Damian Priest in a singles match has created a sense of jealousy within Balor. Finn has yet to taste singles gold since joining The Judgment Day, a stark contrast to Mysterio’s recent victories. This could be one of the underlying reasons why Balor refused to accept Mysterio’s help in his match against Priest, as he struggles to come to terms with his own limitations.

The reaction of Balor to the events at Survivor Series will be crucial in shaping the future of The Judgment Day. Will he find a way to redeem himself in the eyes of Mysterio, or will this growing tension culminate in a complete collapse of the group? One thing is certain, however – the drama is far from over, and the days ahead promise to be filled with intrigue and suspense.

The status quo is no longer an option, as the uncertainty surrounding Mysterio’s future within The Judgment Day hangs heavy in the air. Will he find a way to reconcile with Balor, or will this be the catalyst for his departure? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the WWE universe is in for a thrilling ride as the drama unfolds.
