Pro wrestling fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on their favorite WWE Superstars, particularly those sidelined by injuries. As the wrestling community buzzes with anticipation, it seems that the SmackDown roster is about to receive a major boost. Luke Gallows, one half of the dynamic tag team known as The Good Brothers alongside Karl Anderson, has been sidelined since September because of a knee injury. Yet, the latest reports are filled with hope for fans clamoring for his return to the ring.
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, dated December 1st, appears to be the setting where we might witness Gallows’ comeback. The absence of Gallows had raised numerous questions about the future of their stable, The OC, and how WWE would navigate the waters with one of their titans recuperating.
To add a layer of interest, Anderson has not been utilized in single competition during Gallows’ absence, which is a departure from WWE’s usual modus operandi. Take, for example, the handling of Ivar as a singles competitor when his tag team partner, Raymond Rowe, was out due to injury. This deliberate decision suggests that WWE intends to preserve the integrity of The Good Brothers as a cohesive unit, rather than splinter them during times of adversity.
The buzz around New York City today is palpable, with PW Insider reporting sightings of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in Brooklyn, the location for this week’s SmackDown. While their presence in the area has been confirmed, we’re left in suspense regarding their actual appearance on tonight’s episode. The speculation is as high as the top rope, but given the contractual nuances requiring WWE Superstars to travel only when they are booked to appear, their being in Brooklyn sends a strong signal about a possible reunion on camera.
Ringside News had previously and exclusively reported that there were no immediate plans to push Karl Anderson as a solo act during his partner’s convalescence, reinforcing the idea of their imminent return as a tag team force to be reckoned with. While we’ve yet to hear concrete details about AJ Styles and his return, the same source suggested that the Phenomenal One’s return to WWE programming might also be on the horizon.
As anticipation builds for tonight’s SmackDown, all eyes will be on the blue brand as it goes live. While Luke Gallows’ knee injury may have sidelined him, the resilience of a WWE Superstar knows no bounds. Gallows’ potential return could reinvigorate The OC and send shockwaves through the tag team division.
