JD is officially a member of the JD.
In a backstage promo on the November 13 episode of WWE Raw, Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley were discussing business when JD McDonagh came up in conversation. Ripley and Balor brought up the idea of officially accepting McDonagh into the group. At first, Priest didn't seem too hot about the idea, but he eventually agreed with Ripley when she brought up the idea that McDonagh has proved himself on a number of occasions.

McDonagh has been loosely associated with the Judgment Day for a number of months at this point, as he has hung around with the faction since coming to the Raw brand. Balor was the first person to pitch McDonagh as a member of the group, as the two have a past with one another.
Update: Priest made the move fully official later in the show on November 13. Priest noted that part of him didn't think McDonagh was ready yet, but JD took one for the team, so he's someone he can go to war with him. He then welcomed Priest to the group.
Welcome to The Judgment Day, @jd_mcdonagh!
