Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are in NXT.
After Chase U defeated Axiom and Nathan Frazer to become the new number one contenders to the Tag Team titles on Tuesday, Gallows and Anderson arrived, laying out both teams and Riley Osborne, who was at ringside. Later in an interview, Karl Anderson said they’ll remain in NXT as long as they want to be. Gallows said they’ll win the NXT Tag Team titles with the same old recipe: their finisher, the magic killer.
Since their return to WWE in 2022, Gallows and Anderson have mostly been aligned with AJ Styles, reforming The OC. However, after Styles returned to WWE in December following an injury angle, he became distant with his stablemates, nearly coming to blows with Anderson on a recent episode of SmackDown.
Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin defeated Stacks and Tony D’Angelo last week to win the NXT Tag Team titles. Earlier on Tuesday's show, both Chase U and the team of Frazer & Axiom made their claim to the next contenders for a title match. Corbin & Breakker left it to the two teams to solve their differences, with a number one contender’s match being made for later in the show.
