The Higher Power storyline remains one of WWEs most talked-about twists, but new comments from former WWE star Mideon suggest the ending fans saw on television wasnt the original plan. While speaking on Rewind Recap Relive, Mideon pulled back the curtain on the Ministry of Darkness era and explained that the groups direction began shifting once they were paired with The Corporation. According to him, the faction had built a strong identity with its dark presentation, but that momentum started to fade when creative changed course. Mideon recalled how the group went from dramatic entrances and special effects to being repositioned alongside Vince McMahons stable, which he felt hurt the overall presentation. He also noted that The Undertaker himself seemed to recognize the shift wouldnt last long. As the storyline evolved, WWE began planning the mysterious Higher Power reveal a storyline twist that ultimately exposed Vince McMahon as the mastermind behind The Undertaker. However, Midian revealed that McMahon wasnt the only name discussed behind the scenes. He explained that several potential candidates were considered, including Don Callis, who was portraying The Jackal at the time alongside The Truth Commission. Mideon said the idea of Callis being the Higher Power was strongly discussed before McMahon ultimately decided to step into the role himself. The Higher Power reveal aired in June 1999 and quickly became one of the most memorable moments of the Attitude Era. Vince McMahon declaring himself the mastermind shocked audiences at the time, but Mideons recollection suggests the outcome fans saw may have come together later than many realized. What do you think would the Higher Power storyline have been better if someone other than Vince McMahon had been revealed, or was he the right choice all along?
