JD McDonagh put his body on the line during the May 18 episode of WWE RAW in Greensboro, North Carolina, as his brutal Street Fight against Finn Balor spiraled into chaos both inside and outside the arena.
The former Judgment Day stablemates wasted no time turning the match into a demolition derby.
Kendo sticks, steel chairs, tables, and even equipment cases quickly became legal weapons as the rivalry continued to boil over following McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio forcing Bálor out of the group.
JD McDonagh risks it all during WWE RAW Street Fight
The wildest moment came after the fight spilled deep into the crowd. McDonagh climbed onto a backstage equipment platform near the audience before launching a massive moonsault directly onto Bálor on the floor. Both men crashed hard, leaving fans stunned as the “Irish Ace” quite literally took a leap of faith.
The action only escalated from there. McDonagh wrapped a cable around Bálor’s leg and sent him crashing awkwardly onto the apron before later connecting with a standing moonsault onto a chair for a near fall.
At one point, he also attempted another moonsault through a table, but Bálor cut him off before the landing.
Dominik Mysterio eventually inserted himself into the match and helped McDonagh regain control. The distraction allowed JD to deliver a superplex through a table, but Bálor somehow survived the pin attempt.
The finish came after Dominik accidentally hit McDonagh during a failed 619 setup. Bálor capitalized immediately, knocking Dominik aside before placing a trash can over McDonagh and crushing him with a Coup de Grâce from the top rope for the victory.
Despite the loss, McDonagh’s fearless moonsault instantly became one of the standout moments from RAW. The welts on his back and the wreckage around the ring told the rest of the story.
