Former WWE Champion, AJ Styles is all set to make his grand return to in-ring competition tonight on RAW after a long extended hiatus.
After having missed out on several weeks of in-ring action due to a shoulder injury, The Phenomenal One made his return to WWE TV on the 17th of June in a backstage segment with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in an attempt to motivate both his former Bullet Club stablemates to turn their careers around.
With The Club now set to reunite in Japan later this month, it looks like WWE is determined for a full-fledged reunion for the trio once again.

The Club was initially formed in WWE during Styles, Gallows, and Anderson's debut year, that is, in 2016 when the trio made all the noise on the main roster as notorious heels.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
However, shortly afterward, the trio was officially disbanded in the Superstar-Shake Up, as Styles was sent over to SmackDown Live where he won the WWE Championship. Whereas, Anderson and Gallows struggled on RAW, despite winning the Tag Team Titles on a solitary occasion.
But, The Club now has now earned one more opportunity to write the wrong, another chance to take the main roster by storm, as AJ Styles is all set for a huge return against new US Champion Ricochet tonight on Raw ahead of The Club's reunion in Japan.
#5 AJ Styles targets the US Championship
With AJ Styles set to face new US Champion, Ricochet on tonight's episode of Raw, it looks like WWE is all set to kick-start a fresh, new feud between the two men on the red brand.
Styles, a former two-time US Champion, could very well once again set his sights on Ricochet and his newly won title. And, with the backing of The Club on this occasion, there is a solid chance that The Phenomenal One will come out with the gold on this occasion.
#4 The Club get an authority backup figure in Triple H
Much like AJ Styles, The Game is also set for a huge return to in-ring competition, but the fun part is, upon his return to the ring, the multi-time World Champion will be teaming up with The Club in Japan.
With The Game set to become an honorary member of The Club, it would only make sense for WWE to continue the relationship between the two parties to an extent.
Triple H, as we know, holds a massive position in the company and to have him provide backup for the trio of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows would be a sight to behold.
A full-fledged heel version of The Club, with the backing of Triple H, could potentially put themselves in position for numerous title opportunities and could also play the role of henchmen for The Game when needed.
At the end of the day, its a win-win for both parties!
#3 Anderson and Gallows target the Raw Tag Team Championships
Being former Raw Tag Team Champions, it certainly has been a while since Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows have tasted championship gold on the main roster.
The duo, during their time on SmackDown Live, challenged for the SmackDown Live Tag Titles but never managed to win those belts.
Nevertheless, with The Club now set to reunite one more time and with The Revival being in their second reign as Raw Tag Team Champions, WWE could possibly have Anderson and Gallows back in the tag title scene and have them step up to their arch-rivals, The Revival, one more time.
The Club, as we know, are former one-time Raw Tag Team Champions and with AJ Styles motivating the duo to change their careers around, this seems like the perfect opportunity for the two men capitalize on the momentum and even possibly win the Raw Tag Titles one more time, as well.
#2 The Club officially turns heel!
The Club initially started out as a face group and are currently functioning as faces, as well. However, let's face it, once you are a member of The Bullet Club, you are Bullet Club For Life and therefore, it would make all the sense in the world for you to act and function as a heel.
Starting from the initial phase to the current phase, The Bullet Club has been filled with some of the best heels in the world, including the likes of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows.
In the WWE, The Club also worked as heels when they turned on John Cena and started the infamous "Beat Up John Cena" movement a few years back.
With The Club now officially set to be back on the same page, WWE certainly shouldn't waste any further time in turning the trio heel and bringing them back to the bad side.
A heel Club vs a face Ricochet would surely be a great feud for a start and the trio could very possibly establish themselves as the biggest heels in WWE once again.
#1 The Club brings in an official fourth member
With The Club set for a big reunion in Japan and with Triple H set to become an honorary member of the faction, adding an official fourth member to The Club following the Japanese tour surely wouldn't hurt.
Sure, Styles, Anderson, and Gallows would be fine as a trio only but initially, the concept of The Club is to follow the rules of The Bullet Club, a faction which generally has 10-12 members at their rank at all times. Therefore, adding more members at a time definitely isn't the worst idea at this point.
If WWE is to make sure that the WWE Universe takes The Club seriously once again then adding some fresh and popular names to the group's rank would have everyone's attention. However, the big question here is, who? Who is willing to align themselves with the menacing trio of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows?
Having US Champion, Ricochet wipe that smile off his face and turn into a guy who rather likes to beat everyone up would be one of the biggest surprises of the year.
After all, Ricochet at one point in time was also a member of NJPW and having him play the role of The Club's mid carder shouldn't be a problem either, as it also allows AJ Styles to focus on the Universal Championship.
With the Wild Card rule in play, Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor could also come in for an appearance or two along with The Club and could potentially team up with the trio on few specific occasions.
