In an interview with The Wrap, AJ Styles was asked about Finn Balor possibly joining the Club. He didn't dismiss it, in fact, he really left an open invitation for him.

“I mean, we’ll have to see where he stands. We’re not exactly liked right now.
“Does he want to be not liked? I don’t know. I don’t know where it’s going to stand. He will always have an invitation, but who knows if it’s going to happen.”

This presents an interesting option for Finn Balor upon his return to the WWE. He could make a surprise return and reunite with his old Japanese running mates. This would mark the first time Finn and AJ were a part of the Club at the same time.

The Club has always modeled itself after the nWo. Not only have they adopted their "too sweet" hand sign but they've carried themselves in the same manner. They've run rampant in a rebellious, takeover fashion, over whatever company they've been associated with. Finn would have no trouble turning rogue and re-joining the Club, but would the WWE Universe accept Finn as a heel? Finn is so wildly popular, and it'd be a huge risk for the WWE to turn him heel. Not to mention, it could take all of the air out of the Demon character.

It's certainly an interesting proposition to have a modern-day nWo-style Club wreaking havoc on FOX. This isn't a bad option, I rather like this idea, but my favorite idea is on the next slide.
