Origin
On WWE, during the late 90’s there was a feud between The Corporation led by Vince McMahon and The Ministry led by The Undertaker. They were fighting each other for dominance, and together feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin. After a plot involving The Undertaker kidnapping McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie, and Stone Cold rescuing her, The Undertaker talked about how he was only a pawn for the “Higher Power”, which later revealed itself to Stone Cold. On June 7th, 1999, during a RAW show, Vince McMahon revealed himself to be the Higher Power and yelled “IT’S ME, AUSTIN! IT’S ME, AUSTIN! IT WAS ME ALLALONG, AUSTIN!”[6]
