Brothers of Destruction The Brothers of Destruction was a professional Wrestling tag team consisting of The Undertaker and Kane both currently wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) on its SmackDown roster . The stable was disbanded when it was revealed that Kane was the one that put The Undertaker in a vegetative state . They returned at Raw 1000 when The Undertaker helped Kane battle Jinder Mahal and his troops . History . Glenn Jacobs , who was last seen working on " Raw " as the new " Diesel , " debuted at Bad Blood 1997 as " Kane , " Undertaker ' s younger brother . He interfered in the First - ever Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels , with the winner facing Bret Hart for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series 1997 . During the match , Kane interfered and Tombstoned Undertaker allowing Michaels to pin Undertaker and become the number one contender to the WWF title . At this point , Kane and Undertaker started a feud with each other , the basic premise being Kane and Paul Bearer accusing Undertaker of intentionally starting a fire which resulted in the burning of their funeral home , the scarring of Kane ' s face , and the death ( fake ) of Undertaker and Kane ' s mother . Basically , Kane wanted to take out all of his pent - up aggression on his " brother " but Undertaker refused to fight his own " flesh and blood . " Kane attacked and embarrassed The Undertaker on several occasions but Undertaker still refused to fight . After Kane surprisingly saved Undertaker from an attack by D - Generation X , the duo had a brief partnership which ended after Kane betrayed Undertaker by costing Undertaker a casket match against WWF Champion Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship at Royal Rumble 1998 . He chokeslam med Undertaker into the casket , which helped in Michaels getting the win . After the match , Kane and Paul Bearer locked Undertaker in the casket and set it ablaze . The two continued to feud . Undertaker returned later on an episode of Raw is War and changed his mind and agreed to fight Kane . This led to a match at WrestleMania XIV , which Undertaker won after hitting him with three tombstone piledrivers . They met each other in the first - ever Inferno match at Unforgiven : In Your House , which again Undertaker won . On June 1 , 1998 edition of " Raw is War " , they wrestled in a number one contender ' s match for the WWF Championship , which Kane won with help from Mankind . kamina On an episode of " Raw is War " , Kane attacked WWF Champion Steve Austin .

Undertaker started a rivalry with Stone Cold , who later regained the WWF title from Kane while Kane and Mankind won the WWF Tag Team Championship . At Fully Loaded : In Your House , the duo were forced to team up together and defeat Kane and Mankind to win the titles . They dropped the titles back to Kane and Mankind in a fatal four way tag team elimination match , also involving New Age Outlaws ( Billy Gunn and Road Dogg ) and Nation of Domination ( The Rock and Owen Hart ) on an edition of " Raw " in August . This move occurred after they couldn ' t patch up with each other . This led to a title match at SummerSlam , with Undertaker facing Austin for the WWF title . At that event , he and Kane became a team known as the " Brothers of Destruction " after Kane abandoned Mankind during their Tag Team title defense against New Age Outlaws and instead interfered in the Undertaker versus Austin match when he tried to help his " brother " but Undertaker sent him back .

Notably , both brothers were faces at the time , however Kane was a member of the " Raw " brand and Undertaker was a member of the " SmackDown " brand .
