Little is known about what the stable would be called, how it would form, or exactly who would be in it. However, Sapp reports that several names have been tossed around as future stable members, including former United States Champion Damian Priest.

This would not be the first stable that he has been involved with in WWE, throughout his career The Hall of Famer has been in a number of stables including: The Brood, La Familia, and Rated RKO.

"Having Edge come back and having a person that mentored me and I looked up to, that bigger brother figure that I haven't had for a decade. Now all of a sudden I have this guy - 'Oh wow! Can you help me with this?' Instead of everyone coming to me or instead make me feel like I don't have someone to talk to - now I've got Edge." said Randy Orton
The Rated-R Superstar and Randy Orton had an intense feud shortly following his return to WWE programming, clashing at WrestleMania 36 and at WrestleMania Backlash in 2020.
