Former WWE champion has set his sights on Judgment Day after they win major titles on RAW

The Judgment Day won a major championship on WWE RAW tonight. A former champion has now set his sights on them.

Ivar and Erik had a great run last year after returning from severe injuries. The War Raiders went on to win the World Tag Team Championship number one contender tournament and then challenged The Judgment Day for the titles on the November 25, 2024, episode of RAW, but lost. They got a rematch on December 16 on the red brand, and this time, The War Raiders managed to win the World Tag Team Title.

Erik and Ivar held the title for 124 days before losing it to The New Day at WrestleMania 41. The War Raiders had a rematch on the May 26 episode of RAW in a Triple Threat match against The New Day and American Made. However, they were unable to win the gold. As champions, The New Day have been reluctant to defend their championship and had only one title defense before tonight.

Tonight, on the red brand, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods defended their titles against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. After a hard-fought battle, it was The Judgment Day members who walked away with the victory. Following this, Ivar took to social media to suggest that he has his eyes on the new champions as he reposted a tweet with the "eyes" emoji.

It will be interesting to see who will be the first in line to challenge Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the titles.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
