AJ Styles and Dragon Lee Capture WWE Tag Team Titles on RAW – The October 20 episode of WWE RAW, live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, featured a major championship shake-up as AJ Styles and Dragon Lee dethroned The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to win the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The match opened with AJ Styles and JD McDonagh trading holds before Styles connected with a sharp dropkick. Dragon Lee tagged in, lighting up McDonagh with chops and a chest stomp before McDonagh turned the tide and tagged in Finn Balor. Balor punished Lee with strikes and a corner assault, but Lee countered with a crisp headscissors and a springboard kick that brought the crowd to life.

Balor regained control after a distraction from McDonagh, allowing Judgment Day to double-team Lee. Balor hit a suplex and a series of covers, but Lee fought back, nearly making a tag before McDonagh knocked Styles off the apron. The heels continued to isolate Lee until Styles reentered, taking out both opponents with a flurry of strikes.

After the commercial break, McDonagh grounded Styles with a leg drop and Balor cinched in a headlock. Styles eventually broke free with a facebuster, leading to a hot tag. Dragon Lee stormed in with explosive offense, suplexing McDonagh and connecting with a top-rope double stomp. Balor pulled McDonagh to safety, but Lee followed with a breathtaking dive over the ropes onto both men.

Back in the ring, Styles and Balor squared off in a fierce exchange. Balor hit a SlingBlade and attempted to finish Styles, but Styles countered with the Phenomenal Forearm — only for McDonagh to make a last-second save. McDonagh tagged in and hit a Spanish Fly, nearly securing the win, before Balor followed with Coup de Grace. Lee broke the pin just in time, diving over McDonagh to save the match.

In the closing sequence, Balor tried for the Styles Clash, but Styles reversed and delivered the move himself, pinning Balor clean in the center of the ring. The Sacramento crowd erupted as Styles and Dragon Lee were crowned the new WWE Tag Team Champions, marking a huge moment for both men and signaling a possible shift in momentum for The Judgment Day’s dominance on RAW.
