JD McDonagh is officially back on WWE programming. After undergoing a recovery process at the end of last year due to surgery, the member of Judgment Day is back and ready to strengthen the group.
McDonagh came to the ring alongside Finn Bálor and Dominik Mysterio, when the three interrupted the World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk, who was speaking about his match at WrestleMania 42 against Roman Reigns, as well as the defense of the title against Bálor himself.
Punk will face Bálor at Elimination Chamber, at the end of this month, in a match valid for the World Heavyweight Championship.
We do not know what JD’s role on programming will be at the moment, but given his history of friendship and partnership with Bálor over the years, he will certainly have some type of involvement in the PLE on February 28.
