In an interview with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (transcript viawrestlinginc.com), Karl Anderson spoke about the Club’s negotiations with WWE and said that he, Luke Gallows and AJ Styles were open to starting in NXT but it never came up. Here are highlights:
On if they wanted to go to NXT: “It never came up in our contract negotiations and it was never something that we were against doing because I would have gladly [gone to NXT] if they wanted me to or needed me to. Whatever the WWE wanted me to do, I would have done because I felt like, if they’re going to give me this opportunity, I know that we can do it. I would have gone, man. It just never came up when they called and offered me my job, NXT was never an option.”
On hoping to work with Finn Balor in WWE: “If there’s an opportunity for [Bálor] to work with us, or I get a chance to work against him, which would be even sweeter, because we’ve got a lot of chemistry in the ring against each other. A lot of people don’t even know that with the Bullet Club stuff, but I can’t wait for him to get on the road with us.”
