This could be really good for both guys, but I can’t shake the “Mustafa Ali leading Retribution” feeling. Is it saving a floundering group or just changing the captain of the sinking ship?

Felt very TNA and not in a good way. If you thought about it, it just made no sense and I don't get why I'm supposed to care about Edge or hate the heels for what they did. And now Finn/Priest who were two over faces are stuck with this lame gimmick that even Edge couldn't pull off.

With Balor replacing Edge as leader and Rhea challenging for the title at MITB this group just got a whole lot more interesting in one night.
They can't continue with the lame Aleister Black sitting in a dark room cutting vaguely dark promos shtick though. They can keep the JD name but ditch the purple lighting. Cocky heel Finn circa Bullet Club or 2019 NXT is what's needed. And I think Rhea will be way more comfortable as an asshole who enjoys hurting people rather than trying to be scary.

I'll see where it goes... because Judgement day WAS NOT WORKING.
As I said multiple times this couldn't have been the gimmick Edge pitched.
Maybe it can be salvaged with Finn...
but the crowd haven't wanted to really boo him either... like he was heel in NXT for like two weeks... before the crowd were entirely behind him again.
and if it stays the "all the vague nonsense of the House of Black but we also insult your favorite sports teams" it's still not going to work.
But like I said hey the WWE realized something wasn't working and ended it... maybe they're learning something!

Finn now needs to be the heel talker of the group and that's not his strength at all.

I demand Edge vs. Finn in a ladder match for the rights to the color purple. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Cody wins.

Watching the segment on YouTube I think this is going to be more of a vehicle for Priest to take the lead then Finn but it's something out of nowhere that doesn't seem like a swerve for the sake of one so it at least has my interest for now.

I liked it a lot, and the small swerve (Finn betrays his friends) into big swerve (JD destroys Edge) structure was clever. Plus a welcome bonus is that it now sets up a potential Rhea/Beth match down the line. And now you probably have Finn trying to recruit AJ and he says no which leads to Edge saving him and having that uneasy alliance come together Wonder if they still add another member or keep it as those 3 now with Finn, Priest and Rhea
I kinda hope they keep it at three. Another bonus of this is that Finn being much closer to Rhea's size than Edge also changes the visual feel of the group.

Just have Judgement Day be the heel bullet club. Edge was the one doing the scary shit. Let that go and let my boy Finn cook.

So that was dumb as f*** in terms of current storylines, but it was f***ing awesome and suddenly Rhea and Priest seem like serious threats not Edge’s job geeks. Rhea yelling at Finn to “End him!!!!!” Was greats

I know it doesn’t make any sense and it’s out of nowhere but here’s the thing. It wasn’t working at all.
It’s really saying something because Edge since returning outside of the one Orton mania match has been pretty goddamn great with everything. I wonder if this was an Edge decision or a WWE decision. Honestly it just makes sense to ditch

... So does the group get new theme music, entrance etc now? Because it wasn't just an Edge led stable, it was an Edge THEMED stable.

Even moreso because I genuinely like their theme song, and I fear what WWE would come up with in its place. As for the double turn. Loved it.

same entrance but with Finn's heavily accented "You think you knew me, you never did" >_>
But yeah...Judgement day needs like a complete revamp of their look and entrance too now...

I liked it. If this means Judgment Day become cocky heels like NJPW Devitt, it’d be cool. If it’s just Finn doing Edge’s routine it’ll suck. Knowing WWE, it's going to be Finn the Vampire.
