Damian Priest was waiting for a call to be released after Edge was kicked out of “Judgment Day”
Damian Priest thought he would be released after Edge left Judgment Day.
Priest joined forces with Edge to form Judgment Day in 2022. The group later expanded to include Rhea Ripley. Balor also joined the faction and Edge was kicked out. Since then, the group has changed a lot, with Priest, Ripley and Balor having a remarkable run with Dominik Mysterio, a later addition.
In conversation with Justin Barrasso from Sports illustratedDamian Priest reflected on Edge’s departure from Jugment Day, admitting that he thought the group was over.
“We just had a big moment when we came together and formed The Judgment Day,” said Damian Priest. “It felt like no time had passed and then it was Edge telling me he was being taken out of the group. He waited to tell me one night after watching TV when we were on the road. I thought we were done. I was so upset. When Rhea found out, she was even more upset than I was.”
Priest also mentioned that he waited for the phone call to be released because he felt the group was doomed.
“Edge was mad too,” said Damian Priest. “I still talk to him – he was one of our biggest supporters. When he told me, I remember he said, ‘All that for nothing.’ And I repeated that – for nothing. That’s how it felt at the time.”
“I was waiting for the call to be released. Obviously, things turned out completely differently.”
Instead, Judgment Day dominated WWE for months and Priest reached a new peak when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 40.
The new day of judgment is dawning
Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley recently split from Judgment Day when Fin Balor turned against Priest and took control of the group. The new version includes Balor, Mysterio and later additions JD McDonagh and Carlito, as well as Liv Morgan. Priest and Ripley will face Mysterio and Morgan at WWE Bash in Berlin.
