Former Champions Set For Imminent WWE Return

Yet another WWE return seems to be on the horizon.

As the WWE returns show no sign of slowing down any time soon, the Good Brothers are reportedly on the cusp of returning to the Paul Levesque-driven market leader.

Via Mike Johnson at PWInsider, Karl Anderson and Doc/Luke Gallows are set to return to the Raw brand as soon as this month, with them likely to be paired up with long-time pal AJ Styles.

To add further to this Bullet Club reunion of sorts, the trio of Anderson, Gallows and Styles were spotted together in Washington, DC yesterday, where they are believed to have been filming something for WWE.

Given how the Phenomenal One has been butting heads with Judgment Day in recent weeks, it would certainly seem logical for the Good Brothers to provide some back-up for AJ against Finn Balor, Damien Priest, Dominik Mysterio and, of course, Rhea Ripley. Much like how Styles, Anderson and Gallows have their Bullet Club history, Balor himself is the co-founder - like Machine Gun - and former leader of the Biz Cliz.

The Good Brothers' previous run with WWE came to an end shortly after WrestleMania 36 - where they were involved in AJ Styles' Boneyard bout against the Undertaker - and the tandem held the Raw Tag Team Titles twice during that four-year stint. Since departing the promotion, Anderson and Gallows made several AEW appearances, had a solid run with IMPACT Wrestling, and returned to work plentiful New Japan Pro-Wrestling dates.

One potential sticking point in any immediate WWE return, mind, is the fact that Karl Anderson is the current NEVER Openweight Champion. However, Anderson is scheduled to defend that NJPW prize against Hikuleo in Osaka, Japan on 5 November.
