There have been a lot of teams with potential or momentum in the span New Day have held the titles that could have used them. It could have brought some freshness to them and whatever feuds they were involved with. The Dudleys could have won them. The League of Nations could have used them. The Club could have won them a few months ago, then continued feuding with Enzo and Cass, another hot face team, for the titles. None of that happened.
Do Anderson and Gallows really deserve them now? When they were with AJ Styles, they looked more like a stable and had potential. That is when they really deserved the titles. On their own, they just don't look that interesting. They are just two bald guys. One is Festus. The other has a hot Asian wife. I can give him a few points for that, but still not enough to make me believe they really deserve the titles now. The commentators are hyping them up. Wrestling fans are high on The Bullet Club. With all due respect, these two are overrated. They just are not doing anything too impressive.
Nexus was great. They just went out there and destroyed people. There was this air of mystery there for a while. Why were they doing it? What were their goals? And the WWE sold it like they were trying to take over. John Cena was forced to join them. It was just an impressive angle. The future incarnations were lackluster. They were weaker.
The Shield was great. They had various styles that just mixed together so well. Reigns was the powerhouse. Seth Rollins was the flyer of the group and showcased his agility. Ambrose was more the brawler, and had the mic skills. They were just cool. They have all lost some of their edge since breaking up, but it was still great.
Kharma was great. She was a one-woman Nexus. Wrestling fans loved seeing her destroy eye-candy divas. Some fans probably made the mistake of thinking the diva division was coming to an end back then. It wasn't. Moreover, Kharma got pregnant and never got back her spot. Nevertheless, they pushed her as something unique and let her destroy people.
What do Anderson and Gallows have going for them? All they have going for them is what they were doing prior to signing with the WWE. That is what the WWE is hyping and that is why a lot of fans are hyped for them. But there is no mystery with them. The WWE did a poor job with their storyline with AJ Styles. Their matches aren't that amazing. They are not consistently destroying people smarks hate. Yeah, #BeatUpJohnCena, but what have they really been doing around that? They aren't undefeated. Moreover, Nexus beat up John Cena. The Shield beat up John Cena. If Kharma was still around, she probably would have beaten up John Cena at least once. You can't sell someone on this idea that he wants to beat up John Cena. It's overdone. Moreover, these guys just look like watered-down versions of other stables the WWE has featured this decade.
I am not going to go into the topic of how the WWE used to be good with handing the tag titles off to teams that had momentum and how they have stopped doing that in recent years. But I will say giving the titles to The Club will fall in the category of failing to strike when the time was right. They should have done it when there was an actual stable there. How long until Finn Balor embraces these guys? The way the WWE is just running through angles like water, it will happen soon. If not, how impressive will these two look holding the titles?
