WWE had interest in Gallows and Anderson while still under IMPACT deals
Added 2022-10-11 01:43:27 +0000 UTCAnderson and Gallows are back in WWE, and it's getting wild.
The duo appeared on Raw tonight to reform a Bullet Club combo with AJ Styles, while Karl Anderson is the active NEVER Openweight Champion. Anderson and Gallows had indicated to Fightful that WWE had interest in them as early as this summer, when they were still under IMPACT Wrestling deals. The two were very transparent about the interest towards the end of their IMPACT wrestling contracts, which ended up going a month longer than expected.
We've asked if Anderson and Gallows still have plans to work NJPW dates, and will update when we have an answer. We were originally told that Gallows and Anderson were committed to work with NJPW through Wrestle Kingdom. Last we heard, they did not have contracts.
We were told today that WWE had "tons" of people backstage, which include Brock Lesnar, Vincent and Dutch of The Righteous, Von Wagner, Carmelo Hayes, Maryse, and more.
UPDATE: Karl Anderson claims to Fightful that he's still planning on working the Tokyo Dome show. Also we were told by those in WWE that New Japan was given a heads up.

2022-10-12 05:20:15 +0000 UTCManifesting a world where NJPW brings together WWE and AEW. Probably a fictional world, but it has now been put out into the universe.

2022-10-12 03:49:01 +0000 UTCThey gave them a heads up. But is this done as soon as Karl does his last show?
2022-10-12 03:37:27 +0000 UTCbut i dont think WWE would still let them work with AEW

2022-10-11 01:54:33 +0000 UTCProbably discussing a Crown Jewel match or they're setting up him vs Bobby for the US title at Crown Jewel or something like that.

2022-10-11 01:54:30 +0000 UTCThey never call him in just because. There has to be something going on with him.

2022-10-11 01:51:47 +0000 UTCI know they aren't exactly loved by everyone, but I'm glad they got brought back. (Gallows & Anderson) They were done dirty by WWE two and a half years ago. As I always say with my comments on here, this is just my opinion.
