What’s The Locker Room Joke About Judgment Day Star JD McDonagh’s Head?

The Judgment Day has a habit of interfering in everyone’s business. And that habit has got them into a heated feud with ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes. And this has led to the final showdown between The Judgment Day and Cody Rhodes and Co at Survivor Series. Both sides, particularly Rhodes, have been involved in a heated exchange of words for months now. And as a result, an innocent JD McDonagh got caught in the firing line.

Cody Rhodes compared JD McDonagh to a toy

This all started back in June when The Judgment Day targeted Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for the tag titles. And as always, the villainous faction had the advantage of the numbers game. The Judgment Day then attacked Zayn and Owens, but Rhodes came to their rescue thus starting a fresh rivalry with The Judgment Day.

This led to a 3 on 3 match which Rhodes and gang comfortably won. But the feud didn’t end there. Post that the war of words continued and in one such interview, Rhodes was aggressively criticizing The Judgment Day. And during the course of that backstage interview, Rhodes took a dig at JD McDonagh who at that time was trying desperately to join the group.

McDonagh was doing every possible thing to show his loyalty to Mami and the faction. That caught the attention of Rhodes who went on to joke about McDonagh. He said, “What the hell is wrong with JD McDonagh, head so big on that body, he is looking like a Funko Pop”. On hearing this the crowd immediately burst out laughing. But in addition to making jokes about McDonagh, Rhodes also has a huge amount of respect for him.

Cody Rhodes praised JD McDonagh as “a big-time player for WWE”

Cody Rhodes is loved by the WWE universe for his charisma and courage in the ring, no matter who the opponent is. That was very well seen in case of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam who also acknowledged the same.

But what fans truly love Rhodes for is his down to earth nature. Rhodes always gives respect where it is due and he did the same in the case of JD McDonagh. On his recent appearance on Gabby AF, he spoke highly about the newest recruit of The Judgment Day.

He said, “He’s been one of the most impressive call ups I feel from NXT, and I really wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t have low expectations, I didn’t have high expectations. But that’s potentially a big-time player moving forward. Again, I could care less about him personally. His head’s giant. I mentioned the Funko pop thing. No doubt, it’s far beyond the size of his body. But probably gonna be a big-time player for WWE at some point”.
