This column has recently highlighted the ongoing, seemingly never-ending feud between the Club and Enzo Amore & Big Cass. It seemingly was decided (at least in the short term) at Payback when Enzo & Cass won, but that was 24 hours earlier.

On Raw, the two teams were right back at it, as Enzo squared off against the man he pinned on Sunday, Luke Gallows. Naturally, the bigger Gallows dominated the match, but a distraction from Karl Anderson provided the edge for Luke to get the pin.

Now, if this was a feud that was setting the world on fire, no one would be voicing a complaint, but this just seems like a rivalry for the sake of a rivalry. These two teams are popular enough to be on TV, but there aren’t enough notable tandems for them to compete against, and they want to keep both teams strong as contenders, so we get this ongoing 50/50 stuff in perpetuity.
