10 WWE Quick Fixes To Save Finn Bálor

4. In The Club

WWE surprised many when they elected to pair AJ Styles with Bullet Club buddies Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to form a trifecta with an unending goal to 'Beat Up John Cena', but the union was destined to be short-lived after the 2016 Draft took 'The Phenomenal One' over to head up SmackDown Live! last July.

Since then, the former Raw Tag Team Champions have struggled to regain ground on the roster in the shadow of battles between the returning Hardy Boyz and the Cesaro/Sheamus unit.

Bálor was offered the old 'Too Sweet' once from his former club-mates when they briefly interacted backstage at SummerSlam 2016, and a formalised reunion with Gallows and Anderson one year on could be the ideal way to reinstall a sense of purpose into the actions of all three.

With in-built chemistry, a clear investment in the audience for a return to their former friendship and a pre-established 'Bálor Club' branding, the group could tear through Monday Night Raw's lower ranks en route to becoming reacquainted with the show's main titles. It was an unlikely success story of 2016 (along with just about everything AJ Styles accomplished in such a short space of time), so it's tough to see why the reboot wouldn't be just as beneficial.
