Overview
Christian made his World Wrestling Entertainment debut on September 27, 1998 at Breakdown: In Your House, distracting his brother Edge and costing him a match.

Later that year, Edge and Christian were betrayed by Gangrel as he formed The New Brood with The Hardy Boyz. This feud would lead up to a Triangle Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000 including Dudley Boyz. Edge and Christian won the match, which would become the match that led to the creation of the TLC (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) Match.
Edge and Christian transitioned their characters from being goth to comedic characters. They would do a "five second pose" in the ring "for the benefit of those with flash photography" and would successfully capture the WWE Tag Team Championship on several occasions.
In 2001, Edge started moving into singles competition when he won the King of the Ring tournament, leading to a jealous Christian turning on him. They would feud over Edge's Intercontinental Championship.
