I like Luke Gallows without really being interested in him. He's great at playing a character, although his mic skills, while decent, are made to look much more shitty in segments with Punk. He's really learning how to construct a match, and I think there's a lot of potential there. Basically, he reminds me of Albert/A-Train/Giant Bernard during his early years with the WWE. I don't think he's amazing, and he's not my cup of tea, but in time I can see him growing to being appreciated more as a big man.
The more I think about it, the more I don't want this Straight Edge Society thing to end. You can have Big Show in a match with CM Punk next week, and Punk does his smart heel stuff to try and beat Big Show, but just as it looks like Punk is about to lose, Gallows runs in and attacks Punk. Set this up further by having Punk cut a promo earlier about how he's realised that people aren't worth saving, and there's only one man worthy of Straight Edge, and that is CM Punk.
Gallows attacking Punk could seem like the start of a feud, but you can segue that into Gallows informing Punk that he technically beat Big Show, and Punk gets a sly smirk on his face, likes this killer instinct inside Gallows, and re-unites with his enforcer. It'd piss off the fans who want to see Gallows destroy Punk. Then you just do the original SES thing with Punk and Gallows as the only two members.
