The Judgment Day

The Judgment Day is a villainous professional wrestling stable composed of Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio. The stable performs in WWE on the Raw brand. The Judgment Day was founded and previously led by Edge.

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 performing a low blow on Styles before hitting him with a one-man con-chair-to, turning heel for the first time since 2010. 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 on May 8, 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. At Hell in a Cell on June 5, The Judgment Day defeated Styles, Finn Bálor, and Liv Morgan in a six-person mixed tag team match. The next night on ''Raw'', Edge introduced Bálor as the newest member of The Judgment Day; however, Bálor, Priest, and Ripley suddenly attacked Edge and hit him with his own signature con-chair-to move, kicking him out of the stable.

The Judgment Day then began a feud with the Mysterios ( Rey and Dominik) in an attempt to recruit Dominik into their ranks. At SummerSlam on July 30, Bálor and Priest were defeated by the Mysterios following interference from a returning Edge. At Clash at the Castle, Edge and Rey would defeat Bálor and Priest in a tag team match. After the match, Dominik attacked Edge and his own father, turning heel. Dominik officially joined the stable on the following episode of ''Raw,'' helping the group attack Edge and Rey.

On the September 26 episode of ''Raw,'' Edge challenged Bálor to an "I Quit" match at Extreme Rules and Bálor accepted. At the event on October 8, Bálor defeated Edge. After the match, Ripley attacked Edge’s wife, Beth Phoenix (who interfered in the match on Edge’s behalf) with a con-chair-to. Shortly afterwards, The Judgment Day resumed their feud with Styles, who brought back the returning Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) tag team, thus reforming The O.C. stable, after Styles rejected an offer to join by Balor, who was one of the leaders of the Bullet Club stable. This led to a match between the two stables at Crown Jewel. At the event on November 5, The Judgment Day defeated The O.C. following interference from Ripley. On the following episode of ''Raw,'' The O.C. introduced the returning Mia Yim as their solution to counter Ripley. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 26, Bálor was defeated by Styles while Ripley's team was defeated by Yim's team in a WarGames match. On the following episode of ''Raw,'' The Judgment Day defeated The O.C. in an eight-person mixed tag team match to end their feud.
