Ryan Garcia crossed over from the boxing ring to WWE RAW in unexpected fashion on July 27, but he wasn’t there just to make a celebrity appearance.
Instead, the WBC welterweight champion picked a side during one of the night’s most unusual segments, standing shoulder to shoulder with Judgment Day after a shocking attack.
The surprise unfolded at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on the final edition of RAW before SummerSlam, leaving Joe Hendry and Danhausen’s celebration in ruins.
Ryan Garcia helps Judgment Day destroy Joe Hendry and Danhausen
The segment began with Joe Hendry and Danhausen hosting an in-ring concert centered around Judgment Day. The duo performed a parody version of Hendry’s entrance theme while a group of “Minihausens,” dancers, and Nitro Girl-inspired performers turned the ring into a full-blown dance party.
Garcia, who had initially blended into the conga line, suddenly changed the tune.
The boxing champion grabbed a guitar and smashed it across Hendry’s back, bringing the festivities to an abrupt end. That cue brought Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh to the ring, where they joined Garcia in dismantling Hendry, Danhausen, and the Minihausens.
McDonagh took out Danhausen before Mysterio punctuated the assault with a Frog Splash. Garcia then stood alongside the two Judgment Day members as the trio celebrated, while McDonagh smashed the remaining musical instruments. It was less encore and more knockout.
The appearance comes as Garcia prepares to defend his WBC welterweight championship against Conor Benn on September 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Garcia won the title in February 2026 by defeating Mario Barrios.
The attack also added fuel to the ongoing rivalry between Dominik Mysterio and Danhausen ahead of their SummerSlam clash. While Garcia’s appearance appears to have been a one-night crossover, he made it clear where his allegiance stood on RAW. Whether the partnership extends beyond this appearance remains to be seen, but for one night, Judgment Day found an unlikely heavyweight in its corner.
