5 WWE Superstars who nearly joined major stables

#3 Matt Morgan – The Brothers of Destruction

For over 20 years, the Brothers of Destruction have ruled WWE, toppling all who have stood in their way, and on occasion, battling each other. In 2005 though, the company decided to add a twist to the story and reportedly planned to have a third Brother of Destruction, who would match the two legendary stars in size and power.

This third brother would be called Abel, a play on the Biblical brothers Cain and Abel, and was going to be played by Matt Morgan, who hadn’t been seen on WWE TV since early 2004. In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Morgan said he was supposed to wear a mask similar to Kane’s, and compete with a style similar to The Undertaker, leaving fans to put the puzzle together.

Ultimately, it was Vince McMahon who killed this angle, possibly because he has been fiercely protective of the Undertaker’s brand. Instead of Abel, Morgan made his return to the main roster in April 2005 with a stuttering gimmick.
