The recent WWE Premium Live Event, Clash at the Castle: Scotland, saw Damian Priest retain his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. However, tensions between Priest and his Judgment Day cohort Finn Balor have been mounting, leading to speculation that Balor might challenge Priest for the title. This article explores five reasons why this development could be a positive turn for WWE RAW.
Firstly, Balor turning on Priest might be the best way to disband The Judgment Day. With JD McDonagh’s loyalty to Balor, Dominik Mysterio’s potential departure, and the group’s internal friction, this move could result in a significant shake-up on RAW.
Secondly, Balor could form an alliance with Liv Morgan, who has had issues with The Judgment Day. Balor has shown interest in Morgan, and they have teamed up previously. This partnership could provide both superstars with a mutually beneficial opportunity to further their respective agendas.
Another reason is the potential for Balor to win the Money in the Bank contract. If Balor wins the contract, the dynamic between him and Priest would become more intriguing. The tension between the pair could lead to a dramatic betrayal, setting the stage for an exciting feud.

Moreover, Balor deserves to be part of the world championship picture after years of being sidelined or taking losses on RAW. As a former inaugural Universal Champion, it is time for Balor to be reestablished as a top contender in the world championship scene.
Lastly, Triple H, the current WWE creative head, has the opportunity to bring Balor’s story full circle by having him win the world championship after years of being denied the title. Balor has been a consistent main event player, and his heel turn could be the catalyst for a compelling championship storyline.
Finn Balor betraying Damian Priest and challenging him for the World Heavyweight Championship could lead to interesting developments within The Judgment Day, the women’s division, and the world championship picture on WWE RAW.
