The Brothers of Destruction were a professional wrestling tag team in WWE composed of storyline half-brothers The Undertaker and Kane. Their storyline is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most iconic storylines in professional wrestling, the duo’s relationship alternated between periods of intense rivalry and dominant alliance. First introduced in the late 1990s, their supernatural personas and complex backstory captivated audiences. Together, they achieved significant success, including multiple championship victories, and are considered one of the most formidable and enduring tag teams in WWE history.

Their relationship was given a dark domestic backstory. It would become a WWE sibling relationship with Paul Bearer. Bearer was later revealed to be Kane's father. The Undertaker and Kane would both feud amongst themselves and would team up together as The Brothers of Destruction from 1997 until The Undertaker's retirement in 2020.


As the Brothers of Destruction, they won three tag team championships (two WWF Tag Team Championships and one WCW Tag Team Championship). Their on-again, off-again feuding was typically rooted in the harboring of unresolved, harsh feelings from the arson incident dating back to their youth.
