Gangrel Says Edge 'Politicked' For Brood Bath For Months, Networks Wanted Black Blood Over Red

Before Edge became the Rated R Superstar, he rose to prominence as a member of The Brood alongside Christian and Gangrel.

Edge has harkened back to his Brood days since his return to wrestling in WWE, using the music as part of his entrance and dousing opponents in a Brood Bath.

Appearing on Battleground podcast, Gangrel said that Edge pushed for the Brood bath for months before it finally came to fruition during his feud against Seth Rollins leading into SummerSlam 2021.

"Hell yeah," replied Gangrel when asked about a potential Brood reunion in WWE. "To re-live that magical moment, probably wouldn't have been as magical as it was the first time around, but it would have been amazing. Edge is a great guy. He politicked for that. He told me, he politicked for two and a half months, close to three, to get the brood bath. He said, 'the networks didn't want red, they wanted black blood.' He tried to get me, but that didn't go down for whatever reason. He was looking out for me. He's always tried to look out. Before he re-signed and Christian went to AEW, we tried to put together a Brood reunion where we went around and did signings. He's a great guy. The kind of guy where I can text and two minutes later, I get a text back. He's an amazing human being. I would have been honored and grateful to do that. it would have been cool to be able to do my entrance, but I know Edge is from his heart with what he's doing. I had a podcast that just started so it pushed my numbers to where it's making money. It's all good."

Gangrel previously said that he was scheduled for an August episode of AEW Dynamite, but Edge using the Brood entrance at SummerSlam changed plans. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
