These were none other than Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The former Bullet Club members returned to NXT and laid waste to Chase U, Nathan Frazer, and Axiom. The fans in attendance lost it when the two made their way to the ring and cleared the house. Chants of “Too Sweet,” which is something fans cheer for the duo, erupted in the arena. While AJ Styles and Finn Balor, the former leaders of the Bullet Club, are on the main roster, Gallows and Anderson may be looking to dominate the tag team division of NXT.

In 2013, both Gallows and Anderson joined Bullet Club on NJPW. The villainous faction was known for its rebellious antics and dominance in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The duo quickly became key members, often appearing alongside the leader, Prince Devitt, who would later be known as Finn Balor in WWE. In 2016, along with AJ Styles, The Bullet Club were part of the main roster in the WWE. Despite having tag team title reigns and memorable moments, they were released from WWE in 2020.

Could we see The Bullet Club once more?

With AJ Styles soon ending his feud with Randy Orton and LA Knight, Styles will need something to do. This would be a great chance for The Bullet Club to reunite. With multiple factions in the WWE, fans would welcome something as iconic as the Bullet Club.

Another possible storyline could be Styles and Balor facing off for the right to control the Club. The Bullet Club could also help Styles get revenge on The Bloodline for injuring him and shelving him since FastLane 2023. What do you think about The Bullet Club returning to NXT? Should they challenge for the tag gold or head up to the main roster? Tell us down below.
