There's a lot of discussion swirling around the main event of Payback. Who will win? Who will turn? Will Finn Balor debut? We've already addressed those issues, but there's one more - the virtual certainty that Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows turn on AJ Styles.

Since joining WWE, Anderson and Gallows have given Styles unsolicited help in his battle with Roman Reigns, forcing the honorable former IWGP Heavyweight Champion to ask his friends to back off. Anderson and Gallows have paid lip service to Styles's demands, but they've kept attacking Reigns and The Usos in the interim.

Odds are that Guns 'N' Gallows won't brook what they see as ingratitude for much longer. Even though they promised to have AJ's back "forever," it's clear that the association is coming to an end.

Anderson and Gallows will turn on Styles at Payback. The most likely scenario is that they'll come down to ringside during the match and Styles will shoo them away before they can do anything. Reigns will later win cleanly, and after the match, Anderson and Gallows will attack their so-called friend. Maybe Balor will appear and maybe he won't, but Bullet Club 2.0 comes apart (for the second time) at Payback.
