New WWE Tournament Begins On Raw
WWE announced a new tournament on Raw with serious title implications as Adam Pearce delivered bad news to one champion.
Finn Balor might be one-half of the World Tag Team Champions but since SummerSlam, he has been consumed with trying to destroy Damian Priest. Damian Priest was screwed out of the World Heavyweight Title by Balor as Priest and Rhea Ripley’s time in The Judgment Day came to an end on the same night.
At Bad Blood, Finn Balor and Damian Priest clashed one-on-one but it was Priest who picked up the win. On the 14th of October edition of Raw, Balor went to General Manager Adam Pearce about a rematch with Priest but Pearce had other plans.

Pearce told Balor that he needed to defend his World Tag Team Championship which he holds with JD McDonagh. A tournament was then made with the winners receiving a shot at that title.
The tournament saw the return of one tag team who brought back their old name as the War Raiders defeated Alpha Academy to progress.
No rematch for @FinnBalor…
But The Judgment Day will have a new No. 1 Contender soon because we're getting a Tag Team Tournament!#WWERawpic.twitter.com/h8z9bu1Ij2
