Karrion Kross revealed he had an interesting pitch for a faction before The Judgment Day became a thing in WWE.
The Judgment Day was formed on RAW after WrestleMania 38 by Edge, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley in 2022. After that year’s Hell in a Cell PLE, Finn Balor usurped the faction’s leadership on RAW by conspiring with Priest and Ripley to execute a con-chair-to on Edge. The three then declared that the faction would have no leadership.
Years later, more members came in, such as Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez. They are currently one of the dominant factions on RAW as they have the World Tag Team Championship (Balor and McDonagh) and Intercontinental Championship (Mysterio). They previously had the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship (Rodriguez and Perez, who replaced Morgan) but lost it to Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
Speaking on his YouTube Channel amidst his WWE departure, Karrion Kross noticed a fan wearing his Faith For The Fallen merchandise, which was inspired by Metallica’s album And Justice for All. The Herald of Doomsday added he had an idea for a faction that would center around “Judgment,” before The Judgment Day even existed.
I came up with sort of a design that was based off of And Justice for All. So we had Scarlett (Bourdeaux) on the shirt, blindfolded. The whole concept was Judgment, there’s the judgment quote on the back. So before Judgment Day was a thing, I was a pitching a group and a faction based on targeting people who have done bad things throughout their life and the predication was basically on Judgment,” Kross stated.

Check out the clips from this video below:
Kross shared that after beating up people, his supposed faction will utter the quote on the back of his shirt that says “Nothing We Do is Unjust. All Are Guilty And The Hand of Time Decides The Judgment.”
