WWE Extreme Rules 5 bold possibilities: Brock Lesnar fails his MITB cash-in
By Mark Justice
4. All 3 Members Of The Club Stand Tall As Champions
It is also highly possible that all members of The Club come out of Extreme Rules as champions.
In order for that to occur, AJ Styles would have to dethrone Ricochet to become the new United States Champion, while Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson would have to be added to the Raw Tag Team Championship match with The Revival and Usos in order to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions.
In terms of #1 contender AJ Styles, it seems that the real side of his character has been unleashed on United States Champion Ricochet. Ever since Ricochet won the championship from Samoa Joe at WWE Stomping Grounds, Styles has been on his tail, hoping to get an eventual title shot.
He earned that title shot against Ricochet two weeks ago on Raw, but he lost, got frustrated, and ambushed Ricochet with Gallows and Anderson. Now that he’s got another title shot on this PPV through coercive methods, it is unlikely he will lose again.
Styles’ heel turn must be justified, and Ricochet’s title reign will sadly have to run short.
In terms of Gallows and Anderson, they would probably have to attack The Usos and/or The Revival backstage to get included in the Raw Tag Team Championship match. This possibility is quite a stretch, but it’s not completely out of The Club’s character to ambush superstars backstage and get what they want.
Like Styles, their heelish method of getting title shots is mere coercion. Besides, Usos were the first team to defeat them on their Raw return; a little payback wouldn’t hurt one bit.
All in all, this would be a “too sweet” moment for one of the greatest, most ferocious heel factions in history. With the many obstacles they have faced lately, this outcome would be reviving for them as this faction would be prototypically ideal in taking over Raw’s Monday Nights.
Now, the bold possibilities addressed so far have been conclusive, but there are also bold possibilities that could remain unsettled.
