WWE rivalry involving JD McDonagh

Overview

A rivalry between professional wrestlers Joe Hendry and JD McDonagh on WWE RAW has escalated into allegations of workplace bullying.

On September 7, Hendry defeated McDonagh in a singles match characterized by personal provocations. During the build-up and match, Hendry utilized segments mocking McDonagh’s physical appearance, including a presentation suggesting McDonagh’s father was a giant Funko Pop. The match concluded after a distraction involving a giant Funko Pop head and failed interference from Dominik Mysterio.

Following a September 21 episode of RAW, McDonagh accused WWE of workplace bullying. The controversy arose after Becky Lynch used McDonagh’s real name, Jordan Devlin McDonagh, and criticized his appearance during a promo. McDonagh stated on X that he has a serious case against the company, alleging he is subjected to weekly body shaming on television and was “dead-named” by Lynch.
