10 Unlikely Outside Bets To Join Bray Wyatt’s New WWE Stable

If Gallows and Anderson are turning to the dark side, what about their bezzie mate AJ? Will they turn on him and cast him aside as their new motives are revealed? Or could he also be about to take a darker direction? Perhaps he had no interest in joining Finn Bálor and his goth gang because he’s already secretly aligned himself with WWE’s real Big Bad?

But AJ Styles is a famously god fearing, Christian gentleman. What could make him embrace a new, unholy path? It’s worth remembering “The Phenomenal One” had a cinematic battle, alongside Gallows and Anderson, with WWE’s spooky OG, The Undertaker.

Perhaps seeds could be planted that AJ had somehow found himself forever changed by his Boneyard Brawl with “The Deadman,” changes that saw him drawn ever closer to the darkness until his true purpose was revealed to him by Wyatt’s return.

Given that your writer is making this up as he goes, this would definitely be a story pieced together in hindsight rather than part of some grand overarching narrative set in place at WrestleMania 36. Nonetheless, it’s exactly the sort of longtime storytelling and meaning that Wyatt’s characters promise but rarely actually deliver. We can probably rely on the terminally online curators of Wyatt’s lore to find enough “clues” from AJ’s last few years to make it hang together.
