5 Biggest Winners & Losers From WWE Raw (Sept 26)
1. Losers: Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows
WWE’s handling of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows has been a crash course in how to wreck an act’s momentum.
The former Bullet Club members debuted in startling fashion by destroying The Usos, and the early intrigue surrounding their AJ Styles affiliation was well-played by all. Though they had a rough time adapting (or re-adapting, in Gallows’ case) to the WWE style, they were always dangerous, and had a mile-wide mean streak.
Things have rapidly declined since then. Throughout their obsession with The New Day’s testicles, those atrocious “doctor” segments, and their continued inability to get it done in the ring, The Club have become schmucks. They lost at Clash of Champions, and they lost cleanly to The New Day last night. They’ve now wasted countless WWE Tag Team Title opportunities, and after emerging as the division’s biggest heel force, they’re as useless as The Ascension.
It’s now unlikely that fans will ever be able to take them seriously. Gallows & Anderson have been ground to dust, and their reputations are in tatters. Raw’s struggling tag division badly needs credible heel foils to work with The New Day, and in burning the group’s most obvious opponents, WWE’s writers have done themselves and the tag division a great disservice.
