Edge potentially leading a new stable

[Dale]

​

Edge is set to take on AJ Styles in a WrestleMania dream match, and Fightful Select has heard of a major pitch involving the "Rated R Superstar."

With Edge turning heel for the first time in ages, WWE is looking to add more to his presentation. We're told there has been a particular pitch that has been talked about heavily from the creative side of things that would see Edge get a new stable.

There have been several notable names that have been discussed for the group, including former WWE United States Champion Damian Priest. It was originally thought that Priest would be on the WrestleMania card against Finn Balor in a championship rubber match, but instead they're both in the WrestleMania Smackdown Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

We're told that unless plans change for the heel faction, that could begin to happen imminently.​

Made the title vague incase it lead to any potential spoilers at Mania itself.

I'd really fuck with Priest joining Edge. If not Priest though, it'd be fitting if he took on the Gangrel role and had 2 new guys to mentor.​

I could see Priest working really well, and yeah I'd totally be down with Edge leading a stable. He's been awesome during this build with this character.

Edge's new stable kicked off at WrestleMania with Damian Priest, as FightfulSelect.com reported days ago. However, they're far from done adding to the group. Fightful Select has heard that additional names have been pitched to join the stable, including that of former WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley. Aside from that, we've learned that there are NXT names that have been discussed, but haven't nailed down exactly who it would be. This is far from confirmation that Ripley will join the stable, as it was simply a pitch. For example, the original Diamond Mine lineup was to be Roderick Strong, Tyler Rust, Marina Shafir, Arturo Ruas and Malcolm Bivens, and now consists of Strong, Bivens, The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile.​

Ripley would make sense and she’s not really doing anything of note at the moment

She's in the perfect spot to turn her heel on Liv.

In an update since publishing this, we've learned that the NXT name pitched to join the stable is Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa has been appearing on Raw and Smackdown of late, and seemed to have a bit of an NXT farewell at Stand & Deliver. Just last year, Ciampa told Fightful he had no plans of moving to the main roster full time, and might not have signed with WWE had that been the pitch to him.​

I'd fuck with this.
