Since emerging in WWE April 11, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson have been leaving behind a path of destruction not entirely dissimilar to the one they carved through Japan alongside AJ Styles — the No. 1 contender to Roman Reigns’ WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Now, the duo is set to make their official in-ring debut on Raw against The Usos, less than one week before The Phenomenal One faces Jimmy & Jey’s cousin, The Big Dog, for sports-entertainment’s most coveted prize.
Gallows is no stranger to competing inside WWE’s squared circle, but as evidenced by his recent actions alongside Anderson — which have included brutal beatdowns of both The Usos and Reigns — this world-traveled brawler has come back from Japan with a whole new bag of tricks in his arsenal. Even though Jimmy & Jey will no doubt be looking for payback against their ruthless attackers, it’s equally probable they have no idea what they’re up against.
Meanwhile, even as he prepares to battle Reigns at WWE Payback, Styles will no doubt be paying close attention to the debut of his former running buddies. Even though The Phenomenal One denies any knowledge of Gallows & Anderson’s recent attacks and remains adamant that he doesn’t need their help to defeat The Big Dog, his path in WWE is irrevocably tied to that of his longtime friends. Something tells us Gallows & Anderson have only begun to shock us, and Styles just might be in for a surprise or two himself along the way.
