Give it up to Byron Saxton for nailing it with his comment during the Usos/Club match when he remarked that we have barely scratched the surface of what Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson can do in the ring. Saxton was on-point in describing what could be termed a coming-out party for the former Bullet Club, as they toppled the Usos in impressive fashion.

The match, contested under tornado tag rules, was a fast-paced, aggressive bout with both teams attaching throughout. But it was Anderson and Gallows who really impressed with how they tore through Jimmy and Jey with an array of kicks, clotheslines and other strikes.

It was exactly the kind of win Gallows and Anderson needed, convincingly beating the Usos and (hopefully) putting the rivalry to bed for now. There was no shenanigans in how they won (aside from Jimmy hitting the ring bell when he jumped off the top rope) and no reason to see yet another iteration of this match for the foreseeable future.
