During WWE RAW this week, two former Bullet Club members, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, were seen together backstage, generating significant buzz among fans. Both wrestlers have a history with WWE’s Stamford promotion and have twice held the RAW Tag Team Championship, forging a close connection with AJ Styles during their time as part of the Bullet Club.
Their presence backstage was notable during the tribute show for AJ Styles, a moment that brought together multiple members of the wrestling faction. Tama Tonga, the reigning WWE Tag Team Champion, confirmed the reunion with a backstage photo featuring Anderson and Gallows, captioned,
“Always good to see the boys.”
Luke Gallows Expresses Deep Respect for AJ Styles’ Career
Luke Gallows spoke highly of AJ Styles, highlighting his unmatched professionalism and influence within wrestling. He compared Styles to Hiroshi Tanahashi, emphasizing that while WWE fans have only appreciated Styles in recent years, his two decades of wrestling prior—especially in Georgia and leading TNA during challenging times—cemented his reputation globally.
“AJ is the definition of professional wrestling,” said Gallows. “He belongs in the same category as Hiroshi Tanahashi. It’s really only been the last decade that the WWE audience got to see AJ. There were those 18 years prior. The years in Georgia, putting TNA on his back in an era where they didn’t have a lot of recognizable faces. When the company then became flooded with wrestling superstars, AJ still stood head and shoulders above everybody else. That’s what happened everywhere he went.”
Significance of the Reunion and Its Impact on WWE Storylines
The unexpected gathering of Gallows and Anderson backstage at WWE RAW, alongside Tama Tonga, underscores the lasting influence of the Bullet Club within professional wrestling. Their presence during AJ Styles’ tribute show not only celebrates his legacy but also signals potential future storylines and collaborations within WWE.
This reunion may raise anticipation among WWE’s passionate fanbase who recall the Bullet Club’s significant role in shaping wrestling narratives. As these performers reconnect, it could lead to new opportunities and impactful developments on WWE programming moving forward.
