Finn Balor Reflects On The Night He Joined The Judgment Day WWE

WWE star Finn Balor has reflected on the night he joined The Judgment Day.

On the June 6, 2022 edition of WWE Raw, Edge invited Finn Balor into his Judgment Day stable. However, Balor, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley all turned on their leader Edge.

Since then, The Judgment Day also brought Dominik Mysterio into the fold and have dominated television time on Monday Night Raw.

In a new interview with BT Sport, Balor recalled speaking with Vince McMahon ahead of WWE Raw going live and how he wanted the heel turn to go. He stated:

“This was such a weird night (Balor joining The Judgment Day) because I remember, it was like 7:55 PM and we’re going live at eight o’clock and I knock on Vince McMahon’s office and I go there and I say, ‘Sir, have you got a minute?’”

“And he looks up from his papers and he goes, ‘Is it about tonight?’ I said, ‘Yeah, it’s about tonight. It’s about the heel turn.’ He goes, ‘Oh, come in.’ So I just wanted some direction as to, ‘Hey, am I going out there in the suit?”

Explaining some of the questions that he had prior to joining The Judgment Day, Finn said:

“In The Judgment Day colors or am I going out as Finn? Am I going out to music? What way are we doing it?’ And he said, ‘Oh, you just go out as Finn and then do the segment.’ I said, ‘Well, oh, okay. That’s cool.’”

“So there wasn’t really much thought or plan that went into it… but it definitely made an impact and I feel like this is the version of Finn I wanted to do in NXT, and we couldn’t do it because the crowd had been too attached to me from the previous run and then the crowd got completely taken out of it so there was no chance to even be a heel, to get a heel reaction.”

“So, this is kind of what I went back to NXT to do and you know, three years later, I get to do it properly.”
