Backstage details on Edge and Damian Priest's heel turns

Last night's Monday Night RAW saw Damian Priest and Edge turn heel. The show emanating from Columbus, Ohio, saw the two superstars become villians within 15 minutes of each other.

A match for the United States Championship was booked on last night's RAW after Finn Balor accepted Damian Priest's challenge. After a grueling battle, the challenger was the one who came out on top. Priest attacked the new champion after the match and even slammed him through the broadcast table.

It is being reported that both superstars are seen as heels backstage according to PWInsider:

''Following last night’s episode of RAW, WWE is now listing both Edge and Damian Priest as “heels” internally.'' - (H/T EWrestlingNews)

Priest won the title at SummerSlam 2021, where he defeated then-champion Sheamus. The heel turn comes after months of Priest's conflicted persona, wherein he sometimes snaps on his opponents and shows initial signs of a future heel turn.

Edge attacked AJ Styles after confirming their match at WrestleMania

The final segment of RAW was the announcement of Edge's opponent at WrestleMania 38. The Rated-R Superstar came down to the ring and asked anyone to come down the ramp and answer his open challenge for a match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

AJ Styles accepted the call by coming down to the ring and saying, "I accept." The veteran then knocked Styles down and attacked him. As the Hall of Famer started to leave, he snapped. He returned to the ring to deliver a brutal con-chair-to to an already incapacitated AJ.

This turn seems to be in the nature of the 11-time world champion, who has spent many of his years on the top of the business as a heel. Moving forward, it seems like The Rated-R Superstar will fully be a villain for the first time since his return in 2020.
