Speculation online was rife about the potential return of The Brood stable, first introduced by WWE Hall of Famer Edge and Gangrel.
In the late '90s, The Rated R Superstar was closely associated with Christian and Gangrel. The three men then allied and called themselves The Brood. They entered via an elevated stage surrounded by fire, and their leader would hold a chalice of 'blood' in his hands while donning fangs.
The Hall of Famer was recently associated with another gothic stable called The Judgment Day, which included Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. However, the group turned on Edge after adding Finn Balor to the mix.

A few days after the betrayal, at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, an eerily cryptic vignette was shown, which led to speculation on which superstar was making a return.
On the latest edition of RAW, the video was shared with additional details and clips that caught the attention of the wrestling world. It featured Rey Mysterio's mask, a chalice, Mick Foley's classic flannel shirt, a reference to The Hardy Boyz, and other hidden messages.
Fans were quick to point out a potential return by Gangrel and Edge, reuniting their former stable. One fan stated that there was no denying that Gangrel's cup was visible in the WWE vignette.
Another fan highlighted that the video encompassed props about the former WWE Champion's previous opponents:

Reported return date for Edge's return to RAW
On the June 6 edition of RAW, the WWE Universe was stunned by Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Finn Balor's betrayal of their former leader. Edge has been out of action since the attack.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select recently reported that the Hall of Famer is expected to return to next week's edition of RAW at Madison Square Garden.
It remains to be seen whether The Ultimate Opportunist will debut a new character and stable upon his impending return and whether fan speculation will prove to be right.
