Finn Balor and JD McDonagh's title win sparks outrage; WWE veteran questions abrupt booking: "None of it matters" (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh beating the New Day. The Judgment Day duo became the new Tag Team Champions.

Balor and McDonagh were in a tough battle against Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. All four men gave it their all in the ring with the fate of the tag titles hanging in the balance. Finally, Finn landed the Coup de Grace on Woods for the win.

This week on Legion of RAW, Russo questioned the need for a Tag Team title run for the New Day. He noted that this heel turn for Kofi and Woods made no sense, and they unceremoniously lost the titles to Balor and McDonagh. The ex-WWE writer detailed that it didn't matter anymore who carried the titles because the fans weren't invested in any of the Tag Teams in the division.

"I'm trying to figure out, what was the point of the New Day heat with Big E and them turning heel and remember, their family was showing up at the matches, and now we just take the tag team titles, put the titles back on Balor and McDonagh, who were never over when they had the titles. So what this is telling you is, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who has the titles. It doesn't matter that we started this big heel run with New Day, and now we've just beaten, none of it matters. I'm watching that match. Why do I care who wins this match?" [From 18:11 onwards]

With this win, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh are once again the World Tag Team Champions. The Judgment Day now holds several titles within its ranks. It will be interesting to see how WWE books the duo this time.
