Finn Balor, a top WWE superstar, has recently shared his initial hesitation about joining the Judgment Day stable.
His reluctance stemmed from his past association with the Bullet Club, a group he co-founded and which has since become a dominant stable in the wrestling world.
Balor’s association with the Bullet Club continued even after he signed with WWE in 2014. When the opportunity to join another stable, The Judgment Day, presented itself in June 2022, Balor found himself wrestling with the decision.

However, the chance to work with Damian, another member of The Judgment Day, swayed his decision.
