So, we had all assumed that the Superstar Shake-Up for the year was in the history books and then, the biggest surprise happened. The Club, Mr. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson would show up on RAW this week to take on The Usos in a match.

There is absolutely no reason for them to come to the red brand unless a heel turn is in the work for Styles. Sure, they can be a babyface faction, but it doesn't make sense in a division where there is literally no babyface team to fight against.

I wonder if the original plan was for Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose to fight with The Club, over an extended period. Maybe the departure of Dean Ambrose threw a spanner into the works and the plans had to be changed and modified.

This is the clearest indication that Styles is going heel, and will use Gallows and Anderson as his thugs.
