WWE Rumors: Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe joining The Club in the main roster?

Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura are two of the top candidates who could be added to The Club.

The trio of A.J. Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, collectively known as The Club, are slowly gaining momentum heading to "Money in the Bank." According to the latest rumors, there are plans to add members to The Club and the possible candidates are Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe.

The Club was re-formed on the Memorial Day episode of Monday Night Raw when they attacked John Cena on his return from injury. Styles will face Cena while Gallows and Anderson are part of the Fatal 4-Way Match for the tag team titles at "Money in the Bank" on June 19.

However, there have been talks to expand The Club by adding more members but nothing has been confirmed. The rumored superstars that could possibly be introduced as new members are Joe and Nakamura from NXT, Daily Wrestling News reported.

The move may happen at the WWE draft when the company divides all of their on-screen talents into two as part of the brand extension. There are speculations that current NXT stars will be called up in the draft and start their run in the main roster.

Both Joe and Nakamura are well-known among diehard wrestling fans but they need a great introduction to the casual viewers. Joe made his name wrestling for Ring of Honor and TNA Wrestling while Nakamura is a big star in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

They also have a history with Styles as Joe battled him countless of times in TNA. On the other hand, The King of Strong Style faced The Phenomenal One in NJPW when the latter was still part of the original Bullet Club.

The WWE will need to make The Club look stronger before introducing other members. Many fans are speculating since the debut of Gallows and Anderson that Finn Balor will join them and form the Bulletproof Balor Club.

Balor originally formed the Bullet Club in NJPW when he was still known as Prince Devitt. NJPW owns the rights to the stable's name that is why the WWE is using modified versions of it.

Nonetheless, the addition of new members to The Club is not guaranteed. According to Daily DDT, the WWE would love to have Balor as a babyface and possibly introduce his own stable. There are a lot of potential on this story and fans will just have to wait for it to unfold on television.
