One week after the former Bullet Club members attacked The Usos, Roman Reigns became the next target.
On the April 11 episode of Raw, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, better known as two former members of the Bullet Club faction in NJPW, made their WWE debuts. They would attack The Usos after their No. 1 Contender’s Tag Team Tournament match against the Social Outcasts.
One week later, Anderson and Gallows would attack Roman Reigns on Raw after former Bullet Club member and No. 1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship AJ Styles left the ring. This was somewhat teased earlier in the show when Anderson, Gallows, and Styles were involved in a backstage segment.

The obvious connection here is Reigns and The Usos are cousins, which WWE acknowledges. Anderson and Gallows going after all three Superstars is interesting and sets up more to come at WWE Payback.
Speculation is going to arise that Anderson and Gallows will interfere in the Payback main event of Reigns vs. Styles in some way. This may also be the way of introducing Finn Balor who has been heavily rumored for a call-up to the WWE main roster. He has teased for months about forming a stable with his friends from Japan that could be called the Balor Club/Bullet Club/BulletproofBC, or something no one has guessed.
What happens over the next few weeks will be interesting to see. Will WWE get their own Bullet Club faction?
