The Club is not about wins and losses. They are about destruction and carnage, two outsiders who come into the WWE to make an impact. Although they are excellent performers in the ring, they are not meant to be pretty and proper. I love the intensity and the continued fire in their eyes when they perform.

You can see that they want this more than anyone else right now and it is paying off having AJ Styles back them. I thought the ending was smart and was another way for WWE to blur the lines of who you should be cheering for or against. At the end of the day, it is about REACTION.

Breeze and Fandango Team Up?

Well, I will say I like this pairing more than R-Truth and his plethora of partners. For two guys that have been mismanaged and are actually entertaining, maybe this will be something.

Probably not, but if they can get some television time and be utilized because of their ability in the ring and not a comedy act, I am all for it. I doubt that happens, though.
