Perhaps the worst kept secret in the company is the formation of the Balor Club, a spin-off of the Bullet Club from New Japan Pro Wrestling. WWE raided the New Japan roster several months ago, taking such Bullet Club mainstays as AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson to join the former Prince Devitt, Finn Balor, in the WWE Universe. It looks to be shaping up with Finn Balor as the ringleader for the group, and we can supposedly expect Gallows and Anderson to join him by the time Monday Night RAW has ended.

After his huge win against Samoa Joe at NXT TakeOver: Dallas on Friday night, it looks as though Finn Balor may be the next NXT Champion to debut on the main roster while still holding the title. An interesting spin on things would be Balor defending the title on the main roster with success, thanks to the imposing right hand of the Balor Club in Gallows, Anderson, and perhaps even Styles, depending on the outcome of his match with Chris Jericho on Sunday evening.

The gray area will be heavily explored with this impending dynamite stable. Given that Finn is a solid babyface presence for the NXT roster, and the fact that straight babyface stables tend to lack pizzazz, it might be beneficial for the Balor Club to play the cool tweener role. It€™s most curious to see what type of role they might have, especially if they factor into any storyline outcome moving forward at Mania. What if Shane enlists the help of the Balor Club to take out the Undertaker? Things could get very interesting.
