As much as it hurts to think that The Wyatt Family have been tampered with, it hurts a whole lot more to hear that The Club have been picked to pieces. During the First Round of draft picks, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon welcomed AJ Styles to the SmackDown fold.

He then came out for a match pitting Luke Gallows against John Cena on the show. Karl Anderson was with the pair too, and this marks the last time on SmackDown that the trio will be together. During Round Five, Anderson and Gallows were picked by Monday Night Raw, meaning Battleground will be their last time teaming with Styles for the foreseeable future.

Intriguingly, one other star was promoted from NXT. That could be the reason for this split, because The Club may just be about to take an entirely new direction. Or, maybe it was coincidence.

Whatever happens to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, they deserve to be kept in the WWE Tag-Team Title mix going forward. Maybe they'd be good opponents for The New Day come SummerSlam, especially if they link up with a certain someone...
