Remember when Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson debuted last month and set the wrestling world ablaze? The speculation was running rampant about how WWE could conceivably capture lightning in a bottle by having a dominant force like the Bullet Club on Raw.

Gallows and Anderson won their first tag match, against the Usos. Since then, aside from a tag match victory on Main Event, a six-man tag victory and a DQ win, the duo hasnt won a match, losing three straight. Gallows and Anderson also have served as punching bags for Roman Reigns to abuse.

This is not to say that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion should be laying down for Anderson and Gallows, but every week that goes by and sees them getting bested by the Usos and Roman, the more likely were going to see them jobbing to Golden Truth at some point in the future.

OK, thats a bit harsh, but it definitely knocks some of the luster off the duo and drops them back into the pack.
