Hired early in the year, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson promised to bring something different to the WWE tag-team division. Together in New Japan Pro Wrestling, both men had been vital members of The Bullet Club. Rekindling his career since last leaving WWE, Gallows in particular was a renewed force.

Fast-forward to now and that force looks spent, mired by months of useless comedy ideas. Together with AJ Styles, Gallows and Anderson looked viable. Even without their talisman, the pair should have been dynamite. Instead, they've regressed to making penis jokes and carrying testicles around in a small jar.

Later in the year, WWE tried to push the reset button on The Club and once again cast them as menacing. It's a case of too little, too late though, dressing as doctors and 'retirement workers' (whatever that means) has done some serious damage to the aura Gallows and Anderson once possessed.

It's an absolute crime to take one of Japan's most red-hot tag-teams and turn them into a walking joke.
