Report: What was originally planned for the Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio storyline

As seen during the March 9th 2026 edition of WWE RAW, Judgment Day officially turned against Finn Balor. Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio is now a rumored match for WrestleMania 42.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following in regards to what was originally planned for the storyline…

“Balor vs Dominik Mysterio was way back scheduled for SummerSlam, and then the decision was made that the Judgment Day direction was still hot and not to make that change until later. At that time the plan for SummerSlam was for Balor to do the Demon gimmick. Whether that happens here we don’t know, but that was the plan last year.”

After the attack on RAW, JD McDonagh wrote the following message via Twitter/X…

“You lied to all of us for months. You got an ego. You wanted to be the leader. You played games. That’s never been what the Judgment Day has been about. You used to know that.

Judgment Day is my family and if anybody dares to try to step on any of them, you get stomped out.”
