Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio were once brothers in arms on Judgment Day. The two helped the faction run “Monday Night Raw” for several years.
As championships and opportunities came and went, the gap between Balor and Mysterio grew. This came to a head when Balor caused Mysterio to lose the Intercontinental Championship to Penta. Balor leaving Judgment Day left Mysterio and Liv Morgan as the leads with JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez sticking around.

The latter four chose to roll with Mysterio and attacked Balor on an episode of Raw.
The bitter war led to a match Sunday night at WrestleMania 42. To make things more interesting, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made the match a street fight hours before the show started.
Balor had sworn to bring out the ‘Demon’ and he certainly did.

Balor made his way to the ring in his “Demon” gear, dripping in red and black paint. Mysterio was masked with other Mysterio supporters.
The two men then began to fight each other.
Mysterio wrapped Balor’s head between a chair and hit him with a 619. He tried to pin Balor, but to no avail. At another point, Mysterio threw Balor through a table set up in the corner.
As many have learned, it is difficult to control your demons. Mysterio learned the hard way.
Balor wouldn’t give up. Balor double-teamed Mysterio, hitting him with a chair several times before wrapping his head between the chair and throwing him into the corner. Balor put Mysterio on a table and hit the Coup de Grace for the victory.
