WWE: 5 first feuds for the resurgent (Not) Bullet Club
By Tom Colohue
4. The New Day
The New Day are at the head of a very rare club: a team that actually has three members and thus could sensibly line up against The Club as a trio.
It also makes perfect sense character wise. Gallows and Anderson have been accused of being too relaxed, too hedonistic by Styles. The New Day are the embodiment of those traits. They are three men who refuse to take anything seriously. They throw pancakes, they do unicorn stampedes and, more importantly, one of their member is right now the best of the best. He is the WWE champion; the highest accolade in wrestling.
So there’s motive for a feud. With the wild card rule there is also opportunity. Kofi may be engaged in a war of attrition with Samoa Joe right now but war with Styles is a different thing altogether. That is of course notwithstanding the feuds of the past that Gallows and Anderson have had with The New Day. Always high impact, always aggressive and always enthralling. I would love more of the same.
With Xavier Woods on the microphone potentially calling out Gallows and Anderson for the same things that Styles has been saying, it wouldn’t take much to ignite this feud. A short backstage encounter, or even a “during a filming session of Xavier Woods’ YouTube channel Up Up Down Down, the following altercation occurred.”
Yes, that’s a plug and it’s also storyline development. Hire me WWE!
No, but seriously that’s a storytelling device they don’t use enough of.
This is the last potential three on three feud on my list, which shows how empty a field that The Club have stepped into. That said, it’s almost a natural position for the two teams to step into. Give me these six men and two ladders and I’ll give you a happy boy.
