WWE’s next PLE Survivor Series is just around the corner. One of the most anticipated matches is going to be the men’s War Games Match. The match will feature Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins & Randy Orton vs. The Judgment Day & Drew McIntyre.
Both the teams look strong and it is really hard to predict which group might dominate the other, but there is a slight chance that the latter team might lose, that too because of JD McDonagh. Let’s discuss why.
JD McDonagh might cost The Judgment Day once again

If you remember what happened last month at Fastlane, then you know there is room for that error to happen again. For those who don’t remember, McDonagh cost Damian Priest and Finn Balor the tag team belts at the event. He accidentally hit Priest with the MITB briefcase, injuring his knee.
As a result, Rhodes and Jey Uso won the undisputed tag team championships at the premium live event. History could repeat itself and the 33-year-old star can unintentionally cause his team to lose the WarGames match at Survivor Series this weekend, which may lead to him being removed as a member of The Judgment Day, mere weeks after joining them. JD McDonagh tried to get into The Judgment Day and was finally accepted with Damian Priest officially inducting him. But in the past Priest has been a staunch opposer of McDonagh and belittled him, will it come back to haunt the heel faction?
The animosity between McDonagh and Damian Priest could prove beneficial for the opposite side
It is no secret that Priest disliked McDonagh. He had a strong aversion to him ever since the latter started associating himself with the heel faction. The tensions between the two stars could hinder effective communication during the match, thus increasing the scope of mistakes and misunderstandings. But now that he has accepted McDonagh into the faction, is there still a chance of some distrust between the two stars.

The opposite side could capitalize on this weakness and therefore, grab the victory. Effective communication, trust, and coordination are important in a team match, which is where The Judgment Day falls short given the history between Priest and McDonagh.
McDonagh may seek retribution for being the scapegoat
Speaking of history, you all know how badly Priest has treated McDonagh in the past few months. He has humiliated him multiple times, claiming the Irish wrestler to be unworthy of becoming a JD member and always making him the scapegoat. He took all the insults silently, but could he be looking for payback now?

There is a fair chance that at WarGames, the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion could seek retribution from Preist. He can deliberately sabotage JD, thus causing his team to lose the match. This will signal his possible face-turn. Do you think any of the above three speculative pointers could turn into reality this Saturday? Do tell us in the comments.
