AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Adam Cole were members of the iconic faction Bullet Club at different points in time. While Cole was just a member, Balor was the founder of the faction and AJ Styles is arguably the most popular member of the faction.

Balor and Styles left the Bullet Club to join WWE, while Cole was still killing it in Ring Of Honor. Fellow members, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and the Guerillas of Destiny went on to do great things as part of the iconic faction. They featured in NJPW and Ring of Honor, where they became as popular as WWE’s biggest superstars.

Balor pitched the idea of Cole, Styles, and him joining forces to form the ‘Club’. The Club is the bastardized version of the original Bullet Club, formed in WWE by AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows. Once the Good Brothers left WWE, the Club (then known as the OC, or Original Club) ceased to exist.

Finn Balor and AJ Styles are superstars; Adam Cole is NXT’s gatekeeper

Finn Balor and AJ Styles have found incredible success on the main roster. Balor won the WWE Universal Championship in his first PPV appearance. AJ Styles beat John Cena and won the WWE Title in a span of a month in his first year in WWE.

Adam Cole has become the heart and soul of NXT, putting on absolute classics for the black and yellow brand. His run as NXT Champion was the most entertaining title reign in the 2010s. He established himself as the best wrestler in WWE in the process.

A heel faction between Balor, Styles, and Cole would be an absolute blast to watch. They will even become the most popular trio in WWE since the Shield and New Day. Think about the matches they would put on against their fellow factions and stables.

For this union to take place, Cole would have to leave the Undisputed Era. This won’t be easy given the history Cole has with NXT’s most iconic faction. The birth of the Era carried NXT from WWE’s developmental brand to the best brand in WWE. However, the WWE Universe will be biting their nails in anticipation for this trio to become a reality.
