WWE have a lot to work with when it comes to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

The former noticeably improved during his time in Japan, and formed a kickass tag-team with The Machine Gun. They're another exciting addition to the WWE roster, and their involvement in the WWE Title scenario feels fresh.

Regardless of where the story goes afterwards, booking Gallows and Anderson to come through and deliver the WWE World Heavyweight Title to AJ Styles would make them look instantly credible.

Their match against The Usos on Raw arguably went a little long, but they were made to look dominant. That's been the case since they made their debut, truth be told.

In promos, the pair have repeatedly said that they are fully behind Styles. The high-flying babyface hasn't seemed too comfortable with this, but that doesn't mean the team won't make good on their word at Payback.

If they do, they have something to shout about going forward. Bragging rights are necessary for heels, which Gallows and Anderson are being portrayed as right now. Giving them some would make them hot.
