Edge's new stable in WWE, Judgement Day, has already added Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, and backstage reports indicate that a fourth member could be added eventually. The trio made their first appearance together on the May 9 edition of Monday Night Raw, with Edge explaining that he would be the rudder to guide the ships of Priest and Ripley to greatness. The former helped Edge beat AJ Styles at WrestleMania 38, while the latter aided Edge in his rematch against Styles at WrestleMania Backlash.
The Rated R Superstar and Phenomenal One have been feuding for months now, with Styles rarely able to get the upper hand on his rival. The presence of Priest had been a difference-maker up until Backlash, where he was barred from ringside during their bout. He still made an appearance, stopping at the end of the entrance ramp—that's not technically ringside, you see—but it was Ripley who shoved Styles off the top rope as he prepared to put the finishing touches on Edge.
Judgement Day is being positioned as a driving force in storylines on Raw, with several threads connecting the group to Styles, Finn Balor and Liv Morgan. It seems like we'll get at least one match out of these six at the upcoming Hell In A Cell premium live event, but backstage reports indicate Edge might not be done recruiting just yet. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com recently noted that "(t)here's been talk of adding a fourth member to Edge's Judgment Day faction." If WWE decides to go in that direction, it opens up any number of possibilities moving forward.

Over the next few weeks ahead of Hell In A Cell, the relationship between Styles and Balor could be built upon, only for The Demon to take over and help Edge emerge victorious once again at that show. Ciampa recently turned heel seemingly out of nowhere, and down the road, it could be revealed that Edge pulled the strings on his attacks on Mustafa Ali. After all, he is already claiming to be the reason Ripley turned on Morgan. This could also present the possibility of Judgement Day "sleeper agents" being scattered throughout the roster, waiting to strike.
One last possibility might be Simone Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. During Ripley's reveal at Backlash, Johnson tweeted that the newly coined Eradicator was "living her dream," perhaps showing that the WWE performance center recruit would be interested in joining Judgment Day at some juncture. She hasn't appeared in NXT or WWE television yet, so it's entirely unclear if Johnson has the chops needed to jump into such a bright spotlight. If she is keen on following in her father's footsteps, though, going straight in as a heel would be a great way to do it.
