WWE fans love a good betrayal. Throughout history, some of the most shocking moments in wrestling have come from unexpected backstabs that leave audiences gasping. Now, based on the undeniable similarities between two telling images, it seems like we might be on the verge of yet another major betrayal—this time within The Judgment Day.
The first image captures Finn Bálor staring intensely at Damian Priest, a moment that preceded Bálor’s eventual betrayal of his tag partner and friend. At the time, Priest might not have realized what was coming, but in hindsight, the tension in Bálor’s gaze foreshadowed everything. Fast forward, and we have an eerily similar scene: Dominik Mysterio staring at Finn Bálor with the same level of intensity. If history is anything to go by, Bálor might be in for the same fate he once dealt to Priest.
Dominik Mysterio has been one of the most intriguing characters in WWE over the past year. Ever since turning on his father, Rey Mysterio, and joining The Judgment Day, Dom has evolved from an awkward second-generation wrestler into one of the most despised heels in WWE. His run as “Dirty” Dom has been defined by arrogance, opportunism, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to stay on top. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned about factions in WWE, it’s that they never last forever—especially when ambition and ego get in the way.

Finn Bálor has played a crucial role in Dom’s rise. When Dom first joined The Judgment Day, he wasn’t fully embraced by the WWE Universe. In fact, he was met with laughter and doubt, with many questioning whether he truly belonged at the top. However, under the guidance of Bálor and Rhea Ripley, Dom found his footing. He’s held the NXT North American Championship, gotten under the skin of WWE legends, and solidified himself as a key figure in the faction. But now, with every passing week, cracks are beginning to show.
Finn Bálor’s position in The Judgment Day has already been shaky in recent months. His past conflicts with Damian Priest over leadership and championship opportunities nearly tore the group apart, and though they have seemingly resolved those issues, there is an unspoken power struggle that lingers. With Rhea Ripley being the de facto leader and Damian Priest still holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, Bálor has had to fight to maintain his relevance within the group. But what happens when Dominik decides that Bálor is standing in his way?
The WWE Universe has already seen Dom grow more confident in his abilities, especially with Rhea Ripley treating him like the faction’s “golden boy.” He’s relied on the group to have his back, but at some point, Dom might decide that he no longer needs to answer to Bálor. If Dom sees himself as the future of Judgment Day, eliminating Bálor might be the next logical step—just like Bálor once did to Damian Priest.
The visual storytelling WWE uses is often intentional. If the two images making the rounds are any indication, WWE is teasing something major. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen a “passing of the betrayal” moment like this. Think back to when Seth Rollins turned on The Shield—it was a shocking moment, but in hindsight, WWE had been dropping subtle hints leading up to it. The same could be happening here with Dominik and Finn.
So how would this potential betrayal unfold? There are a few possibilities.
One scenario sees Dominik growing tired of playing second fiddle to Bálor and making his move when Finn least expects it. Perhaps a championship opportunity arises, and Dom chooses to prioritize his own success over loyalty to The Judgment Day. Another scenario could involve Rhea Ripley influencing the decision, subtly pushing Dom to take control and prove that he can survive on his own. Ripley has always been strategic in how she manipulates the men in the faction, and if she deems Bálor a weak link, she might just encourage Dom to cut him loose.
No matter how it plays out, the outcome remains the same: Finn Bálor is in danger. The Judgment Day has been thriving as one of WWE’s most dominant factions, but history tells us that betrayal is inevitable. And if the past is truly repeating itself, then Finn Bálor may soon find himself on the receiving end of the same pain he once inflicted on Damian Priest.
As the tension continues to build, all eyes will be on Dominik Mysterio. Will he remain loyal to The Judgment Day, or will he carve his own path at Finn Bálor’s expense? The WWE Universe may not have to wait long to find out.
