The War Raiders shook up the tag team division in a big way on Monday Night RAW, defeating Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to capture the WWE World Tag Team Championships. The monumental win came during the main event of the December 16 episode, which aired live on the USA Network despite a reported 40-minute tape delay.
The title change was the culmination of a heated rivalry between the two teams, with Balor and McDonagh looking to assert dominance while Erik and Ivar had other plans. The hard-hitting showdown saw the War Raiders capitalize on their brute strength, wearing down the champions before delivering their devastating finisher to secure the victory.
Judgment Day’s reign as World Tag Team Champions now comes to a screeching halt, and the War Raiders are back on top as WWE’s most dangerous duo heading into 2025. With this win, the landscape of the tag team division has been thrown into chaos, and all eyes are on what happens next.
The show marked the first RAW after Saturday Night’s Main Event, and it didn’t disappoint. While CM Punk and Seth Rollins continued to fuel their fiery rivalry with explosive promos, the crowning moment belonged to Erik and Ivar.
