WWE welcomed Karl Anderson back into the company this week as The Good Brothers made their return on Raw. The former Raw Tag Team Champions reunited The OC as part of the ongoing Raw feud between AJ Styles and Finn Balor.
They’re back in WWE now, but The Good Brothers seemingly didn’t always plan on returning to the company. Anderson and Luke Gallows were fired by WWE in April 2020 as part of a cost-cutting measure brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
What made the situation worse is that WWE had only signed the pair to long-term contracts for big-money less than a year before, to prevent them from signing with AEW.
When asked about the prospect of coming back to WWE shortly after their release, Anderson said on Twitter that they'd "absolutely f****** not" be returning, which obviously hasn't aged well considering they're not back.
