Edge rejected WWE pitches for Judgement Day stable

Edge was shockingly removed from Judgement Day this week on WWE Raw, despite only founding the group two months ago.

During their segment on Monday Night Raw, Judgement Day unveiled Finn Balor to be its new member, but that wasn’t the last of the twists that WWE had in store.

In a rather surprising turn of events, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley and Balor then attacked Edge, kicking him out of the group and presumably writing him off TV for some time.

And now that he’s out of the group, and according to reports, officially a babyface again, more is coming out about Edge’s time as the faction’s leader.

Fightful Select is reporting that WWE creative had come up with ideas for the group to go down the “supernatural” route, but Edge outright turned that down.

We’re told that WWE had mentioned taking Judgment Day a “supernatural” route, which Edge was said to have been opposed to

The group did hint at some ‘supernatural’ traits, with Damian Priest making the arena lights turn purple, before disappearing from the ring, during one of his matches with AJ Styles in April.

With regards to why Edge was removed from the group, some have speculated it was a reactionary move to even out the babyface-heel divide now that Cody Rhodes is injured and off TV.

That’s just speculation as of right now, and while Fightful didn’t say that’s the case, they noted that they’ll be working to find out more on the matter in due course.

The attack was pretty brutal, so it’s likely that Edge is going to be off TV for quite a few weeks, potentially even missing Money in the Bank on July 2.

The most likely avenue that WWE will go down is to have Edge return in time for SummerSlam for a match with Finn Balor, although that’s not been reported or confirmed at
