7. Edge Recruiting One More Member

Emphasis on "one".

Edge's updated Brood shouldn't become the nWo 'B' team or Nexus. In other words, it cannot be allowed to degenerate into a revolving door of wrestlers who need a quick rub or have nothing else to do. That, ladies and gents, isn't good enough for something this potentially-excellent.

A sharp-suited legend like Edge works as leader, and both Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are fine supporting cast members. If WWE wants to get the most out of Judgement Day though, then they'll add in just one more member and lock the doors. Tommaso Ciampa would be this writer's top pick for that spot.

He has the menace, the experience and the WWE tenure (on NXT, at least) to make the most of it. That said, it'd be fine if Vince McMahon fancied experimenting with someone totally left field. Just...do not add members in willy nilly or give up on newbies too quickly.
