WWE Superstars Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, members of The Original Club (The OC), revealed in a discussion after their appearance on WWE NXT in February 2023, that they desired a more extended period in NXT following their re-signing with WWE in October 2022.

Echoing Anderson, Gallows emphasized the significance of Triple H getting to know them on a personal level to appreciate their dedication to the wrestling industry.
“Our time in NXT was great. I wish we would have spent more time in NXT earlier when we came back to WWE, just a little bit, we could have worked closer with Hunter [Triple H],” Anderson remarked.
Gallows continued, “That would have been a good thing. Just to form the bond a little bit more. Him getting to know us as people and our passion would be a good thing.”
Anderson further stated, “You can say what you want about us, just know that as people we are passionate about professional wrestling and doing what we do.”
Their time off due to injuries was a challenging phase, but The OC made their presence felt by breaking their 8-month losing streak upon their return on WWE programming in February.
