WWE brought in former star Gangrel for WrestleMania 39 weekend, leading to speculation that he may be part of a special entrance at the show with Edge as The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, and Christian had an iconic entrance during the Attitude Era.
Edge took on Finn Balor in a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 39. Balor portrayed his Demon gimmick, while Edge was introduced as Brood Edge. WWE didn’t use the Brood theme, nor were the other members of the Brood.
While appearing on Reffin’ It Up with Brian Hebner, Gangrel was asked if WWE ever contacted him about making a WrestleMania appearance.
“They may have discussed it, but my phone never rang. I started reading all the stuff, people were calling me, so I wrote Adam [Edge], ‘Do you know this started?’ He made a joke, ‘these writers think they know everything.’ I laughed. I tried to tell a guy to tell them, ‘No, I wasn’t doing it,’ but he still ran the story anyway. He goes, ‘To be fair, it was pitched, it just never happened.’ It was pitched, but I never heard about it. I didn’t know anything about it. They never reached out to me. I guess, Edge is always pitching something for me. I think I pitched SummerSlam for me, but it got shot down.”
Instead, Gangrel was part of WrestleCon in Los Angeles during WrestleMania weekend.
