25 Years Of WWE Raw Mistakes

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson had just about escaped unscathed from a lousy SummerSlam angle with The New Day and Jon Stewart when they were thrust right back into some atrocious comedy with the record-breaking triumvirate.

Dragging the a*se out of an old Attitude Era trope, the allegedly dangerous 'Club' members employed three buffoons to portray aged versions of Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods.

The interminable segment crawled to a conclusion when the real deals ran off the heels, but WWE squeezed more juice out of the fruit when the Tag Team Champions were provoked into decking the imposters. The painfully broad gag was big, but it wasn't clever.
