Following their arrival to the WWE in 2016, Gallows and Anderson formed The Club with their former BC stablemate AJ Styles, who also signed for the company at the very same time. The trio had a solid run which abruptly ended after a feud with John Cena, as Styles was drafted over to SmackDown Live.
