Joe Hendry defeats JD McDonagh on WWE RAW

During the September 7 episode of WWE RAW, Joe Hendry defeated JD McDonagh in a singles match following a series of personal provocations. The rivalry, which has intensified due to interference from the faction The Judgment Day, included a comedic segment where Hendry mocked McDonagh’s physical appearance.

In a backstage segment, Hendry utilized a music video and documentary-style presentation to joke that McDonagh’s father was a giant Funko Pop, suggesting this explained McDonagh’s head size. McDonagh responded by accusing Hendry of body-shaming him before the match.

The bout was highly competitive, with McDonagh controlling early portions of the contest. The match reached a turning point when Je'Von Evans appeared wearing a giant Funko Pop head, providing a distraction. During the chaos, Dominik Mysterio attempted to intervene but failed, allowing Hendry to capitalize. Hendry secured the victory via pinfall after executing his finisher, the Side Effect.
