Outlandish Theory: 5 Signs WWE Are Hatching A Bullet Club Takeover

5. They've Touched On The Idea Before

Cast your minds back to the summer of 2016 when AJ Styles was still heel and aligned on TV with both Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The insinuation even then was clear: this was a mini-Bullet Club invasion of WWE's product, one primed to take down the juggernaut's poster boy John Cena. Hell, they were even called The Club.

At SummerSlam that year, Finn Bálor neglected to share a 'Too Sweet' moment with his former stablemates, but was wearing a Bálor Club t-shirt. Later on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Finn outright said, "I’m sure someday that will happen, we’ll get a little BC revival going on". There has to be something behind those words.

Again, why wouldn't Vince McMahon want a piece of the Bullet Club pie? It's a money train, and McMahon loves making money. If he was so dead set against a faction created outside his world being part of it, then why would he green light a group with some of the same members called The Club in the first place?
