Good Brothers WWE, NJPW update
Added 2022-10-15 21:56:28 +0000 UTCThe DEVILS HAVE EGGED onto WWE TV once again.
Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows returned to WWE this past week, setting off a chain of speculation as to what happened to lead to this.
Fightful Select reported that Gallows and Anderson had WWE interest while they were under IMPACT contract, and weren't exactly shy about it. However, their IMPACT deals got extended by a month, and they finished up in late August. They were working in New Japan Pro Wrestling without contracts, and Karl Anderson still as NEVER Openweight Championship. But it's not going to turn into the NEVER Going To Defend That Championship.
Fightful had reported that Good Brothers were working in NJPW without contracts, and had committed to dates through January's Wrestle Kingdom show. It was confirmed to us that New Japan Pro Wrestling were very aware that Gallows and Anderson were headed to WWE, and future NJPW dates are still happening. We've even heard from one side that there are hopes that the January 4 Tokyo Dome show is still on the table, but a lot can happen between now and then.
We're told that Anderson and Gallows were only under a verbal commitment in Japan, and those duties are being allowed to be fulfilled. However, they have officially signed with WWE, for what was said to be a "big money deal."

WWE should let AJ do WrestleKingdom with them.

2022-10-16 12:56:37 +0000 UTCRemember when the theme song they had while in iMPACT basically boiled down to "WWE was terrible, I shouldn't have gone there, I'd punch the boss and drive his car out of there"?

2022-10-16 01:25:12 +0000 UTCThe more important question is, will we see the return of Tex Ferguson and Chad 2 Badd?

2022-10-15 23:25:36 +0000 UTCI wonder how AEW and Tony feels about this since they already said forbidden door 2 will happen and that at WK, there will most likely be AEW wrestlers.

2022-10-15 22:55:16 +0000 UTCIf they really wanted to get people talking, they’d get AJ for that Tokyo some show. Have a Six man with AJ and the Good brothers against 3 other people. I would say Hikuleo, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa but Loas MCL Injury would likely prevent that

2022-10-15 22:24:52 +0000 UTCI really hope Anderson enters with the NEVER title on Raw like Mickie did at the Rumble with the Knockouts strap. Would be cool to see. I know we see it in AEW but that’s normal there, so seeing it in WWE would just be cool
2022-10-15 22:18:45 +0000 UTCDamn they should just open the door and get some big money matches going
