WWE couldn't recreate The Brood with the addition of Jeff and Matt Hardy
Looking back on it, The Brood's influence in WWE was the initial reason why both Edge and Christian managed to break out as singles superstars in the company. The two former World Champions enjoyed major success in the company. However, it was their run with Gangrel that helped Edge and Christian elevate to the next level.
After splitting up with Gangrel, Edge and Christian continued their journey together as a tag team. The third member of The Brood formed an alliance with The Hardy Boyz. Gangrel, along with Matt and Jeff Hardy, came up with the concept of The New Brood.
However, the idea of The New Brood backfired, as The Hardy Boyz liked Edge and Christian more than they did Gangrel. After a series of incredible matches with E&C, Jeff and Matt Hardy left Gangrel and The New Brood disbanded. With that, WWE never considered forming The Brood again.
