Back in February, we learned that WWE had released The Good Brothers, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. They were also fired by the company at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, only to return two years later and ultimately do very little.
We're not sure where things went wrong for the former Bullet Club members, but they've since started wrestling for various promotions, and haven't let their latest parting of the ways with WWE slow their momentum.
When the news broke of their release, Anderson was injured. However, in an interview with Fightful, he explained why he holds no feelings of bitterness towards WWE.
"I look at it like this. If you know us, our happiness in the last two and a half years wasn’t really there. In the last two and a half years, looking at different avenues to take to get out of what we had gotten into just because of where we wanted to be. What we signed up for wasn’t what came to be. The things we were thinking on ways to get out and 'How do we do this? This isn’t working out. We want out of here anyway.'"
"To get that call anyway, everything about this, I’m not a super religious man, but I was saying prayers about stuff or throwing up vibrations to places, and it all worked out. There is zero resentment towards it. It happened for a reason. I’m glad it happened. It needed to happen. I wanted it to happen. I don’t have anything to say about it besides the fact that the last two and a half years happened, I’m gone from it, it’s barely in my thought process."
"It’s the most freeing I’ve felt in so long. Any bitterness or madness...the process they go through to make that happen, I don’t know, and honestly, I don’t care. Whatever they did to get there, they got there, great. I’m here now, it’s a blessing, and I’m happy."
It's interesting that Anderson says "what we signed up for wasn't what came to be," as his and Gallows' short-lived reunion with AJ Styles proved to be something of nothing. Whether WWE couldn't find the right creative for them or they butted heads over certain things has yet to be revealed.
We don't think another WWE return is on the cards for these two, anyway, so we'll have to wait and see whether they make an impact in TNA or even AEW somewhere down the line.
