Vince McMahon Was Shocked To Find Out Former Tag Team Champions Weren’t Really Brothers

Over the years fans have seen many tag teams made up of siblings on WWE programming, some of which were actually related, and some who weren’t. When Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder first debuted on the main roster they were known as the Major Brothers, and they aligned themselves with WWE Hall of Famer Edge.

During a recent appearance at K&S WrestleFest, Brian Myers, formerly known as Curt Hawkins in WWE, talked about the team’s early days, and he revealed that Vince thought he and his partner were actually brothers.

“We wanted to just join Edge and then what I’ve been told that I didn’t realize at the time is that Vince [McMahon] thought we were shoot brothers and then when it all came up that we already joined Edge, he goes, ‘What? They’re not brothers?’ Like that’s f*cking stupid and that’s when he said come up with new names and we came up with Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. So that was never part of our plan. It just kind of fell into our lap.”

As Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, Matt Cardona and Brian Myers were both lucky enough to have long careers with WWE, and they even managed to capture the Raw Tag Team Titles. Unfortunately both men were released from WWE in 2020, but they remain active in the world of professional wrestling.
