(Kai's Terrible Ideas) Expanding "The Club"

**ClockShot** · 08-31-2016, 08:45 PM

This is tricky. Because, how do you expand "The Club" when the original members are/were Bullet Club members?

To the "strictly WWE fan" who doesn't know much about the other promotions/indy scene, you can pass it off. But to those of us in the IWC, we would probably be like "he doesn't belong with them".

Balor Devitt hooking on with Gallows & Anderson coming back would make a lot of sense. Since, that was sorta kinda the original plan with the "Balor Club" thing thought up. Dominate Raw, Balor is champ, Gallows & Anderson tag champs. All's well in the world.

But Styles on Smackdown is a whole different story. I don't know if we're supposed to disavow all knowledge from Royal Rumble to present day? Or are there some NXT guys that can get thrown with him? Are guys like Kenny Omega, or The Young Bucks got expiring contracts and will WWE snatch them up? While Styles is now "The Face that Runs the Place" on Smackdown, does he even need a Club stable too?

Shortened version: You can put some stars with them and it is what it is. But, it wouldn't feel right.

I agree you don't just want to throw Jack Swagger, Bo Dallas, or anyone else in the Club. WWE seems to be real high on Kenny Omega and Adam Cole and both have expiring contracts in 2017. If any one is added the would have to fit the group, guys like I've mentioned Rowan, Harper, and Ciampa seem like good fits to me but you wouldn't want to go overboard with it.
