So the big sticking point with the Bullet Club coming to AJ Styles’ aid is that there’s another person under contract with WWE who has a longer-standing relationship with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and that man would be former NXT Champion Finn Balor.

Balor founded the Bullet Club in New Japan, and when he left for NXT, Styles took his place as leader of the group. That is a big reason why it’s even a question of whether Anderson and Gallows help Styles. It’s entirely possible that they cost him the title and Balor debuts on the main roster at Payback, kicking off a Bullet Club stable in WWE.

If that happens, fans could be in for an interesting ride. If Balor doesn’t debut and it’s just Anderson and Gallows, then it still could make for an eventful title match.
