#3 Christian's debut in WWE

Christian made his WWE debut during the Attitude Era in 1998. He was initially paired with Edge and Gangrel to form The Brood. They became one of the most popular trios during that period.

Gangrel, who was the leader of the group, spoke with Chris Van Vliet about the first entrance with Christian and Edge:

"The first night, Sunday Night Heat, if you watch it back, you will see they clip away and come back. We did one dry rehearsal for the show for the first time ever. They said the elevator has a shimmy in it. It has a boom boom and it will go up. Give it a second. Well, the dry rehearsal didn’t have all this fog in a dark arena and all this other stuff. I got in there, the music went and I could see the fire going. I thought I felt the shimmy. I thought I felt the elevator do its thing. I went to turn and step off. Well, it wasn’t done. My foot got planted as I was turning in between the elevator and the stage so it shut. I stepped over and the flames were burning up around me. When they got it down, I hobbled to the ring and my foot was black and blue for months. They told me that’s a great vampire swag you have and I said, ‘no that’s just a hurt foot and a grizzled knee," Gangrel said. (h/t Wrestling News.co)

For Christian, it was his big break through onto the WWE roster. He made an instant impact and immediately grew on the WWE Universe. It also sparked a tag team between him and Edge, which went on to become one of the most successful tag teams in WWE known as Edge & Christian.
