Unfortunate incident costs The Judgment Day the World Tag Team Titles on WWE RAW

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, The Judgment Day's Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh challenged War Raiders for the World Tag Team Championship. Unfortunately, the heel tag team failed to recapture the title due to a little accident. Dominik and JD pummeled the Raiders after the bell rang. McDonagh took out Ivar with a springboard moonsault on the floor, but his head bounced off the announce table.

Carlito showed up during the match while the referee was distracted.He spit an apple into Ivar's face, and Dominik Mysterio hit the latter with a 619. JD McDonagh followed it up with a moonsault, and Dirty Dom hit a frog splash. He went for the cover, but Erik broke the pin by tossing JD into Dom. War Raiders hit Dominik with War Machine and won the match. JD McDonagh hitting his head on the table affected him, and it wouldn't be shocking if that played a role in The Judgment Day's loss.

This week, Rey Mysterio was facing Xavier Woods before the New Day member's home crowd. Since his return, Rey Mysterio has been leading the LWO. While the faction has yet to reach great heights, when Mysterio is absent, Zelina Vega has been the one in charge of helping everyone make the big decisions. 

However, the faction will lose one of its most valuable members, as Zelina Vega is now moving to SmackDown from RAW. Michael Cole revealed that the SmackDown General Manager had chosen to bring in the RAW star to his show as part of the Transfer Window. Vega will now be part of the blue brand going forward, meaning she won't be working with the rest of LWO and Rey Mysterio, who remain on RAW now. With that being the case, the star has finished up on RAW. The star said goodbye with a teary post about Rey Mysterio.

Paul Heyman appeared on this week's Monday night show, revealing that Reigns will be the cover star for WWE 2K25. The game will also feature a Bloodline edition, and the cover for that includes Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. 2K25 will be released on March 14, 2025, with pre-ordering starting from January 28.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), The Tribal Chief announced that he would be the main cover star of the upcoming WWE video game while adding The Bloodline will be with him wherever he goes, likely hyping up fans for the special edition of 2K25.
