Now this is how the Bullet Club should have been booked from the get-go.

Leave it to WWE to turn around after a so-so start to Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows run in the company to figure out that one of the most dominant tag teams in the world should start running over tag teams in WWE, not serving as Roman Reigns punching bags.

Gallows and Anderson jumped New Day during their match against the Vaudevillains, beating all three members down, and later telling everyone that they were putting the tag team division and the roster on notice that they were just getting started. Beat up a few more teams during or after matches and you have a menace on your hands.

Why couldnt this have been the case from the beginning? Sure, fans will likely brush aside the whole Gallows and Anderson are AJ Styles lackeys who the Samoans beat up deal of the past six weeks, but imagine the impact they would have had if they came in beating everyone up and no one had touched them.
