Professional wrestling fans were elated to see two former Bullet Club members, Finn Balor and AJ Styles getting reunited on WWE Raw. It was an unexpected scene for the WWE Universe as the two former champions got back together in an attempt of thwarting a top heel faction.
As seen on WWE Raw, Finn Balor came out to save AJ Styles from a beatdown at the hands of Edge and Damian Priest of The Judgment Day stable. As the two heel superstars retreated from the ring, both men raised their arms and did the signature Kliq/nWo/Bullet Club gesture.
For those who don’t know, Finn Balor was the founder of the heel faction in the NJPW faction while Styles replaced Balor in the stable for several years between 2014 and 2016 in the wrestling promotion from Japan. The two never had a reunion in the WWE as a team but they did have a solid match at WWE TLC 2017 without any kind of builds since Balor’s original opponent, Bray Wyatt was ruled out of the match.
