The December 16 edition of WWE Raw saw a major title change as the War Raiders ended The Judgment Day’s dominant World Tag Team Championship reign. JD McDonagh and Finn Balor entered the match confident, but chaos unfolded in the bout’s final moments.

The action reached a fever pitch when Balor and McDonagh nearly sealed the win with a moonsault/coup de grâce combination on Erik. However, outside interference disrupted their momentum. Balor attempted to retrieve a chair at ringside, but Damian Priest inadvertently intervened, creating enough of a distraction for the challengers.

Seizing the opportunity, the War Raiders delivered their signature War Machine move to Balor and scored the decisive victory.

Balor and McDonagh’s reign ended after 176 days, with only three successful defenses during their run. Despite The Judgment Day’s imposing presence, their title reign closes with a bitter loss at the hands of the powerhouse duo, the War Raiders.
