"I wasn't fully convinced" - Finn Balor reveals when he learned about replacing WWE legend in a top faction

Finn Balor recently revealed when he learned and was informed by WWE about joining The Judgment Day.

A few months ago, Balor replaced Edge in the group after Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley betrayed their now-former leader.

Speaking in an interview with SHAK Wrestling, the former WWE Universal Champion said that he was told a day earlier about him aligning with Priest and Ripley:

"The day before and that was an advanced notice at that time. That was like, I really smartened up, and I was clued in, and I was in the know, and don't tell anyone this has happened tomorrow. In WWE you always have to be ready to adapt, a lot of things change at very short notice and even I was told about that news about what was going to happen tomorrow, I wasn't fully convinced," said Balor.

Additionally, Balor discussed how The Judgment Day's storyline with Edge is now finally moving smoothly after The Rated-R Superstar recently returned to television:

​

"You just kind of take it and go, 'Okay, if that happens, I'll be interested tomorrow if that actually happens. I feel things have been a little bit more stable in the last couple of weeks, last couple of months. Perhaps the storyline arcs are evolving as predicted, you know a lot of things change and people get hurt and come back form injuries and there's obviously those elements that you know we can't predict. But I feel like right now things have been moving pretty smoothly," added Balor [4:54-6:17]
