1. The Balor Club Will Stage A Hostile Takeover Of WWE
AJ Styles, "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows are most recognizable to international fans as part of the hated Bullet Club. In 2016, they will invade WWE and stage a hostile takeover of the company, with a little help from current NXT champion Finn Balor. Together, they four wrestlers will comprise the Balor Club, a cast of heels determined to dominate the promotion in the same way The Bullet Club ran New Japan Pro Wrestling during their time on top of that organization. WWE will never be the same, with The Authority, The Wyatt Family, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens and the other top level Superstars perhaps forced to band together in order to battle the new threat to their success. Whether their arrival moves the needle and leads to increased ratings remains to be seen. But the television product will be markedly better, fresh blood arriving to break up the monotony and provide an element of danger to the otherwise squeaky clean show that Raw has become.
