Update On WWE's Plans For A Balor Club On Raw

Finn Balor and the Bullet Club for Raw?

Finn Balor and the Bullet Club are likely to come together as a faction on WWE Raw. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez alluded to the fact that WWE are already running stories on their websites about Balor's association with the WWE bound Bullet Club. Furthermore, Balor's social media has been teasing a reuniting of the popular New Japan group. Dave Meltzer responded to Alvarez, saying that he believes Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson will be forming a "Balor Club" faction with Finn. As for AJ Styles, Meltzer doesn't necessarily see him as being a part of the group. Balor Club is clearly a merchandise driven idea, and Meltzer believes WWE are doing it just to sell T-shirts. It is unusual for WWE to take another idea from somewhere else, but the re-branding of Bullet Club to Balor Club will see them passing it off as their own invention. The reality is, Balor Club is a blatant rip off, but WWE should be okay. Meltzer did say that WWE's raid of New Japan is similar to the raid on Verne Gagne all those years ago, and it will be interesting to see how the Japanese company reacts to such a move. Losing so many big stars at once, and with WWE launching the WWE Network in Japan, it must be concerning for NJPW.
