10 Last Minute Changes That Saved Wrestling Stables

10. The Brood

Christopher Daniels could never catch his WWE break. If the stories are to be believed, he was once considered to play the part of “The Higher Power” - the mysterious leader of the Corporate Ministry, essentially the boss of Undertaker and his goons, and responsible for all of their most devious acts. But instead, we got the “it was me, Austin, it was me all along” moment so… we can’t really complain.

Similarly, Daniels was also eyed up for another evil stable during his tenure working dark matches for the company. According to Gangrel in a conversation with Chris Van Vliet, his Brood stable was originally set to star Edge - who the company were sure was going to be a big success - and young hopeful Christopher Daniels. It was Edge who pushed for Christian’s inclusion, trying to find a space for his childhood friend.

It’s hard to say if 'The Fallen Angel’ would’ve been a good fit for The Brood but it’s certainly easy enough to picture. But the truth of the matter is, without Edge and Christian getting this moment to work together on WWE TV it’s possible that we wouldn’t have gotten everything that came after it.

And basically, anything that stops us from getting E&C’s 5 Second Pose gimmick…? Forget about it.

It’s a shame that Daniels never got his shot in WWE but the right decision was definitely made here.
