En route to Wrestlemania 38, the equation around WWE Raw changed big-time on this week’s episode. Some big moves on the roster were taken to change things up for two top superstars. The creative team decided to make two big heel turns that were apparently stuck.

WWE Hall of Famer Edge is certainly a bonafide legend who is in his own league by all means. Being one of the most successful superstars in the company’s history didn’t stop him from going heel. He has done it all as a pro wrestler but another character change is happening for him as he is internally listed as a heel on WWE Raw.

As reported earlier, this past Monday’s WWE Raw saw Finn Balor defeat Priest to capture the WWE United States Title. After digesting the clean pinfall loss, Priest attacked Balor after the match and blamed the audience for the loss.

Then in the closing segment of the show, AJ Styles accepted Edge’s challenge for WrestleMania 38. In a shocker, they ended with Edge taking AJ out with a low-blow kick, followed by a couple of Con-Chair-To attacks on the skulls.

In an update from the happenings, PWInsider reports that WWE Hall of Famer Edge and Priest are both now officially listed as heels on the internal RAW roster following their turns on WWE Raw on two back-to-back segments.

These two turn-ons have been a matter of discussion for the fans since they watched them on TV. But neither Priest nor Edge has publicly commented on their heels turns as of this writing. Perhaps, they will open up on their turns on this upcoming episode of WWE Raw, next Monday.

As confirmed on this past WWE Raw, Edge vs. Styles has been confirmed for WrestleMania 38 as a dream bout for the fans finally becoming a reality. However, there’s no word yet on what Priest will be doing on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Going by the looks, it’s possible that he will get a rematch from Balor given he plans on recapturing the title.
