How many writers are there on WWEs creative team? And how many of them were involved in coming up with the names for the two factions currently dominating the main event of Raw? Because if it was more than the 5-year-old son of one of them, then its a total embarrassment.

Currently, the fight over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is being waged between the Club and the Family. The Family is Roman Reigns and the Usos (Jimmy and Jey), while the Club is AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The Family is self-explanatory, but also unimaginative, while the Club is three members of New Japans Bullet Club reunited in WWE.

Seeing how all three Samoan stars are second-generation members of the famed Anoai family, they could have called themselves the Bloodline. And anything would be better than The Club. These are just lazy names that should never have been green-lighted.
