Finn Balor WWE Judgment Day Replacement

Share

WWE Judgment Day faction

On the March 9 edition of WWE Raw, The Judgment Day excommunicated Finn Balor from the faction with a four-on-one beatdown.

Now that Balor is no longer in the faction, this could lead to a new member being recruited into The Judgment Day in the weeks or months to come.

Whether it be a talent from the NXT roster or an established talent on Raw and SmackDown, there are any number of possibilities for The Judgment Day to add to their ranks sooner rather than later.

Here are eight potential Finn Balor WWE Judgment Day replacements.

8. El Grande Americano

In 2025, Dominik Mysterio started aligning himself with El Grande Americano in WWE and Lucha Libre AAA.

Forming a duo named Los Gringos Loco 2.0, Mysterio and Americano have made for a formidable pairing.

While they have not been teaming on WWE TV as of late, Americano could become a pivotal addition to the Judgment Day faction.

Leaving Los Americanos behind, El Grande could join forces with “Dirty Dom” and provide someone new into the mix of The Judgment Day moving forward.

7. Josh Briggs

Back in 2024, The Judgment Day turned on both Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest, which caused them to lose some muscle to their faction.

Looking at the WWE roster, Judgment Day could gain some reinforcements from the NXT brand.

In recent months, Josh Briggs has taken on a lesser role on WWE NXT not being featured as often as he once was.

Briggs becoming the new enforcer for Judgment Day could make them a force to be reckoned with once again.

6. Brooks Jensen

Speaking of Josh Briggs, his former tag team partner Brooks Jensen has not been appearing on WWE NXT as of late.

Fans of WWE Evolve have seen Jensen become a featured talent on Wednesday nights on Tubi instead.

Becoming more of a student of the game, Jensen has displayed his improvements inside the squared circle and as a character.

Jensen joining the main roster could see him inducted into The Judgment Day as an upstart on a mission to prove himself to the established stable.

5. Tatum Paxley

The Judgment Day started out as a faction that embraced darker elements whether it be their look or the personas part of the group.

On WWE NXT, Tatum Paxley has become one of the most popular female stars in the women’s division.

The current NXT Women’s North American Champion has long been someone always trying to look for a new family to call home and could find that in The Judgment Day.

Paxley joining Judgment Day could put her alongside Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez to make them the most intimidating group of female talent in one faction in recent memory.

4. El Hijo del Vikingo

Since WWE acquired Lucha Libre AAA ahead of WrestleMania 41, El Hijo del Vikingo has been front and center as one of the leading faces of the Mexican promotion.

The former AAA Mega Champion has been embroiled in a rivalry with Dominik Mysterio over the past year.

Turning into one of the most hated heels on the roster today, Vikingo has been the perfect foil to “Dirty Dom.”

While they have feuded and battled with one another in recent months, Mysterio could have gained some respect for Vikingo and invite him into The Judgment Day in the place of Finn Balor.

3. Stephanie Vaquer

Heading into WWE WrestleMania 42, Liv Morgan has been feuding with Stephanie Vaquer over the WWE Women’s World Championship.

After winning the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, Morgan has taken aim at “La Primera” for her different journey to get to WWE, wrestling in Mexico and Chile.

Meanwhile, Vaquer has called out Morgan for her pampered rise to the top being in WWE for the past 10 years and relying on The Judgment Day to get her spot as a top star in the company.

Based on the popularity of the Rumble winner, Morgan could easily be a babyface coming out of WrestleMania 42, so Vaquer may turn heel in her place by joining forces in The Judgment Day at “The Showcase of the Immortals.”

2. Aleister Black & Zelina

Aleister Black and Zelina have become a “Necessary Evil” duo that have played the role of an evil conscience for various stars on the roster.

With the dark elements to their pairing, it would make sense if Black and Zelina decided to join The Judgment Day.

For much of his time in the group, Finn Balor served as the veteran leadership that Judgment Day needed to grow.

Now to replace Balor, Black could play that role, while also adding another former champion in Zelina to the women’s talent in the stable.

1. AJ Lee

Since signing with WWE, Roxanne Perez has made it no secret that her inspiration for getting into the wrestling business was AJ Lee.

Viewing the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion as her “pro wrestling mother,” Perez has made it no secret that Lee has been a mentor to her for several years.

Now that Lee is back in WWE, there is a chance for “The Prodigy” to join forces with her inspiration.

Lee becoming the newest member of The Judgment Day could allow her to fill in the void left behind by Finn Balor in the faction moving forward.
