8 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Oct 24)
7. Will The Club Regain Its Footing?
After Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson lost their “comic-filled” feud with the New Day, they returned to the tag team division and began running roughshod over lower-tier tag teams, saying they were done trying to be cute and were getting back to the basics of destroying opponents. Good enough for a reboot.
Then last week, Big Cass demolished Anderson in less than two weeks, and The Club looked completely out of their league. Rivalries do need some build-up, and challengers need to get the upper hand at times to make the feud look more appealing, but that match made Anderson look like a completely overmatched goof. James Ellsworth got a near-fall on AJ Styles last week, but Anderson barely landed an offensive move before he was pinned.
This doesn’t mean The Club is dead and buried, but if WWE wants to remake them as serious killers, then they shouldn’t job in 90-second bouts. At least have the matches be competitive if you have to beat one of them.
