Raquel Rodriguez addresses faction’s mood following WWE Raw defeat
Summary
– Dominik Mysterio lost the Intercontinental Championship to Penta on WWE Raw
– Finn Bálor stopped JD McDonagh from interfering late in the match
– Raquel Rodriguez declined to discuss internal tensions within Judgment Day
Dominik Mysterio’s second run as Intercontinental Champion came to an abrupt end on the March 2 edition of WWE Raw. Penta capitalized in the closing moments of the match, shutting down Mysterio’s offense and walking away with the title.
The decisive stretch raised eyebrows. As Mysterio called for assistance from JD McDonagh at ringside, Finn Bálor stepped in and stopped him from getting involved. Bálor appeared confident that Mysterio could finish the fight alone, but seconds later, Penta countered a 6-1-9 attempt, delivered a Mexican Destroyer, and secured the three-count.
Attention quickly turned to how Judgment Day would respond to the setback. The loss not only cost the faction championship gold, but it also exposed a potential fracture in decision-making at ringside.
During the official Raw Recap show, Raquel Rodriguez was asked directly about the atmosphere within the group. She chose her words carefully and declined to elaborate on any internal reactions. Instead, she shifted the focus toward regrouping and looking ahead to the following week.
Her response did little to settle questions about the unity of Judgment Day. With the Intercontinental Championship no longer around Dominik’s waist and Bálor’s ringside decision under scrutiny, the faction now faces renewed speculation about its stability moving forward.
