During the June 6 episode of WWE RAW, The Judgment Day faction turned on their leader, Edge with a vicious ambush. In the process, the group also claimed Finn Balor as their new member cum the new leader in the absence of Edge.
Ahead of the post-Hell in a Cell 2022 episode of WWE Raw, Edge teased that The Judgment Day would be adding a new member. Then the first-ever Universal Champion Finn Balor came out during the revelation segment and proclaimed that he had a calling to join the faction.

After the introduction was done, Damian Priest attacked Edge as Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor joined in on the beatdown. The beatdown included a Glasgow Grim submission, a throw through the announce table, and a Con-Chair-To on Edge.
After what transpired on WWE Raw, an update was provided on Edge’s storyline condition courtesy of WWE’s The Bump on YouTube. According to it, Edge suffered a non-displaced orbital floor fracture. No timetable was given for Edge’s return on that show.

Judgment Day dominated WWE Raw following Wrestlemania 38
Edge originally formed the Judgment Day stable back in April when his feud with AJ Styles was in progress on WWE Raw. The dark side of the Rated-R Superstar unraveled as the dream match against Styles culminated on Night Two of WrestleMania 38. It was during that match when Damien Priest attacked Styles, helping Edge win the match.
Then next month during the Edge vs. Styles rematch at Wrestlemania Backlash, Rhea Ripley joined the faction, again helping Edge to win his match against Styles. Then the trio competed against AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Liv Morgan at WWE Hell In A Cell on Sunday, getting a win in the process. Hence, it was a shocker to see a turn-on against Edge by the two of his devotee followers.
Now, Balor is now the most senior member of The Judgment Day and seemingly he will act as the leader. Edge is reportedly undergoing an abrupt character change following the attack and PWInsider reports that he has officially been moved to the “babyface” section of the internal WWE Raw roster. Once he comes back, matches against Balor and Priest seem inevitable.
