The Judgment Day is a heel professional wrestling stable in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on the Raw brand. The name was previously used for a former pay-per-view event series held by WWE between 1998 and 2009.
History
On the February 21, 2022, episode of Raw, Edge reflected on all the WrestleMania moments in his career and then he issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 38. The following week, his challenge was accepted by AJ Styles, to which Edge responded by hitting a low blow on Styles before hitting him with a one-man Con-chair-to. Edge then debuted a new entrance theme, "The Other Side" by Alter Bridge, during the buildup to WrestleMania on the March 14 episode of Raw. At the event on April 3, Edge defeated Styles following a distraction by Damian Priest.
Following WrestleMania, Edge accepted Priest as his pupil and the team's name was revealed as "The Judgment Day". On the April 18 episode of Raw, Edge challenged Styles to a rematch at WrestleMania Backlash, which Styles accepted. At the event, Edge defeated Styles after a masked individual, later revealed to be Rhea Ripley, shoved Styles off the turnbuckle. After the match, Ripley kneeled before Edge, becoming the stable's newest member.
Finn Bálor would join forces with Styles and Liv Morgan, who Ripley had betrayed, against The Judgment Day. Priest & Ripley would defeat AJ Styles & Liv Morgan on the May 23, 2022 episode of Raw, before Priest, Edge & Ripley scored a win over Styles, Bálor & Morgan in a Mixed Six Person Tag Team Match at Hell in a Cell 2022 following a distraction from Ripley. On the June 6, 2022 episode of Raw, The Judgment Day promised a new member would be joining their ranks, with the surprise member being revealed as Finn Bálor. However, Priest blindsided Edge, effectively kicking him out of the group.
