The Judgment Day leader Finn Balor recently stated that he's "dying" to compete in a dream match against Edge sometime down the line in WWE.
Balor, alongside his stablemates Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, has been like a thorn in The Rated-R Superstar's side in recent weeks. Edge was the original leader of Judgment Day, but soon enough, he was thrown out of his own stable, with the former WWE Universal Champion taking over.
The duo shared the ring at the recent Clash at the Castle event, where Edge and Rey Mysterio defeated Judgment Day in a tag team match. However, Balor and his stablemates had the last laugh as Dominik Mysterio attacked the babyface veterans before officially joining the villainous faction on RAW.
In a recent interview with Inside the Ropes, Finn Balor broke his character to share his desire to wrestle The Rated-R Superstar in singles competition.
He stated that he was disappointed after Edge hung up his boots a decade back but was glad to see the WWE Hall of Famer return to in-ring action at Royal Rumble 2020.
“Oh, I hope so, yeah I hope so [If we're heading into Balor vs. Edge]. So, like, from a personal standpoint, when Edge retired, I was, you know, disappointed at the fact that you know, that match will never happen. When he returns, you know, Royal Rumble a couple years ago, kind of like that spark was kind of reignited," said Balor.
In closing, the former NXT Champion stated that he was optimistic about facing Edge soon in a much-anticipated one-on-one encounter.
"But we’ve had a couple interactions with run ins and stuff like that. But yeah, hopefully we can get to that singles match with Edge, that’s something that I’m dying for,” added Finn. [H/T Inside the Ropes]
Edge is to have a first-time-ever match in WWE
On this week's episode of WWE RAW, a furious Edge called out Dominik Mysterio. However, it was Rhea Ripley who instead came out and revealed Dominik as the newest member of Judgment Day.
Later, the 25-year-old distracted his father, Rey Mysterio, during his match with Damian Priest, allowing the latter to win.
After the bout, Judgment Day officially laid down a challenge to Edge on Dominik Mysterio's behalf, with the bout being confirmed a few moments later for next week. This will be the first time Dom will face The Rated-R Superstar on TV.
The match is arguably one of the biggest of Dominik's career, and it'll be interesting to see how he fares against a genius performer like Edge.
