Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows became the latest former stars to return to WWE on last week’s episode of RAW. They were reunited with AJ Styles.
On the Jim Cornette Experience, Jim Cornette discussed his feelings towards The Good Brothers’ return to WWE, saying the following:
“I mean, you’d be surprised who people are interested in. There’s somebody interested in everybody. But with Gallows and Anderson no, it’s not going to be a game changer. It’s not going to you know, ignite the houses or the ratings right off but is better than Gable and Otis. I mean, come on, seriously.
You know, look at the field now. Even when they, Gallows and Anderson, they, too many pronouns pal, when they left, what, three years ago? Or almost. It was, you know, a little bit more of a crowded field. They had more talent that you could say, okay, that guy with proper use could be something or do something. And remember also, I think Triple H was probably wanting to rectify what they did under the previous administration, because they were guys that had a chance to go to AEW, and sign with them.
Instead, that’s when, at that point in time was when you know, the WWE hadn’t seen what AEW was going to be and was hearing a billionaire is going to be on TBS, and blah, blah, blah, and they were making big offers, keep people. And that’s Gallows and Anderson signed for what was it 750 grand a year for, I don’t know, two or three years or whatever the f*ck. And then the pandemic comes around the three months later, and they f*cking cut them.
So I said at the time, if I was them for that much money, and honour the contract for three months, and we didn’t go elsewhere where they would honour the contract, I would have taken at the very least explosive devices to Main Street in Stanford.”
