Honestly, why did they run a "let me in" message on the go on Summer Slam Raw if it's just going to be Edge? I feel Edge's return to extract revenge on Judgement Day. 1. They barely waited much time after he got kicked out the group before running return vignettes. 2. They teased Bray but didn't deliver.

I'm pissed we are back to nostalgia face Edge.
I was really enjoying his new character. They should've just had him be the Flair in the Judgment Day.

It being Edge was telegraphed and it was tempered by Iyo Sky, Bayley, and Dakota Kai all coming back too.

Nah, I figured it would be him.
Can't say I'm too excited about the feud with Judgment Day to be honest.

In what way did they ‘tease Bray?’ There was nothing that teased Bray in those vignettes, it was just a bunch of fans reaching.

Yeah that was clearly Edge all along.
Though there might be a better chance of Bray returning down the line assuming Triple H is a fan.

I watch all the WWE released Raw footage on YouTube as their air. Somehow this must have been on the continuous play with the rest of the clips I watched from the July 25th RAW. All this time I've been thinking this aired on Raw, and wondering why Bray didn't appear at Summer Slam. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufn1f8NRwlg&t=1s

Edge should have returned with a new faction called "Judgement Day" setting up a big feud with "The Judgement Day".

Unless Edge doesn't want to do it anymore.
But Rated R heel is his mealticket.
He can even be rated r with Beth and it will work. Heel Edge is truly where the money is at. As that greesebag I can buy him beating Roman.

I get being underwhelmed, but the crowds just weren’t up for the new album, they want the greatest hits from Edge.

The vignettes were pretty unsubtle about only teasing Edge. I think some people assumed Bray just because that was who they wanted; rather than based on the videos themselves. Also, feels like it’s only a matter of time until Beth returns, based on how the storyline’s playing out.

The dude skulking around did have a Fiend-like look. But then, there was Hardy/Christian/Foley/Cena callbacks so…

There wasn't really a gimmick to latch on to there...

But everything about their character and direction was just wrong.

I thought Bray for a second when I saw the vignettes but if it was Bray all the Ruthless Aggression imagery would've been really weird.

You know who I just realized would be perfect for judgment day?
Karrion kross
Especially with fan rumors of HHH hiring people back and Edge/mysterious outnumbering them

There wasn't really a gimmick to latch on to there... It could've worked if they went further with it. Looking back at the original Ascension vignettes from FCW, if they did Judgment Day like THAT, it would've clicked. Put them on top of buildings at night and tap back into Edges old Brood persona, except this time he's the leader of the pack. This could've even worked with Demon Balor. But Edge had to stay in order for it to be a hit IMO.
