They often entered arenas by rising through a ring of fire onto the (elevated) stage floor, with Gangrel carrying a chalice of "blood".

According to Edge, he was uncomfortable with his prior gimmick, saying he lacked the confidence at the time to be a singles star, and welcomed his inclusion into The Brood.

[1] In March, after Undertaker's Hell in a Cell match with the Big Boss Man at WrestleMania XV, Edge, Christian, and Gangrel were lowered onto the cage from the ceiling.

On the June 13 episode of Sunday Night Heat, The Brood defeated The Hardy Boyz & Michael Hayes in a six-man tag team elimination match.

On the July 11 episode of Sunday Night Heat, The Brood lost to The Corporate Ministry (Big Boss Man, Mideon and Viscera) when Gangrel turned on Edge.

The New Brood was formed after the Hardy Boyz dumped Hayes as their manager in August 1999, turned heel and became briefly associated with Gangrel.

They called a truce with Edge and Christian, and the quartet attacked Gangrel after he bragged that he got to use the "services" of Terri while Matt and Jeff were recovering from last night.

The Hardys would continue to use the darker and more gothic-oriented appearance they utilized when allied with Gangrel throughout both their tag team and successive solo runs.

On the May 27, 2022 episode of AEW Rampage, during a feud with The Hardys, Gangrel appeared with The Young Bucks during a tag team match with Jon Cruz and Taylor Rust.

[10][11][12] In WWE, Edge once again presented his solo variation of The Brood's gimmick to fight against Finn Bálor inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 39.

[13] They would reunite on May 26, 2024, at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, where Edge (working under his real name Adam Copeland) wrestled Malakai Black in a barbed wire steel cage match.
