The Brood merged with The Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness faction between February 1999 and April 1999. The storyline concerned The Deadman receiving orders from a “larger energy,” which turned out to be WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

“Bear in mind the entire thing with The Ministry was purported to be the upper energy? That’s form of what that is right here as a result of Edge realized the whole lot he did from Gangrel. Now you deliver previous Obi-Wan again. I feel that will be such a pleasant, good, good contact,” Russo continued. [11:09-11:29]

Gangrel, who final competed in a WWE match in 2007, not too long ago mentioned it will be “actually cool” if he joined Edge and Priest’s group.
