On the Day 1 edition of WWE Raw, Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh interrupted a planned segment for the Judgment Day to appear on Miz TV. R-Truth came out instead, still under the impression he’s part of the group. When Miz questions where the rest of the group are, Truth swears they were just behind him. After having enough of Truth’s shenanigans, Mysterio and McDonagh unload on Truth. He’s not part of the group, he never was. Mysterio tries to talk over the crowd who are booing him nonstop, so loud that Miz can’t hear him on the mic. Frustrated, Mysterio attempts to take a dig at Miz and his recent losses to Gunther but Miz shoots back at him with his trail of recent losses in 2023, including on the WWE Live Holiday Tour to CM Punk.ย
