I don't think it would be the "outsiders to Japanese wrestling" theme in WWE, but it would end up being a cool heel type group with an awesome logo and shirt. Just let them wreck everything for a while and go over people and they'll get over.
I do think that Gallows will have trouble. There's a reason some guys give up on WWE and go to Japan, namely because they are scorched earth in America. Bringing him back just looks like bringing back some jobber that wasn't over, kinda like with Albert as Tensai.

If you brought him back as Matt Bloom, ass-kicker back from Japan, I think he could've gotten over easily.

Albert was doomed unless they brought him back as "Albert"

The Tensai gimmick would worked if people did not think it was a case of yellowface. Strip away the entrance gear and the token Asian wrestler moves, it might had worked.

Probably in the minority but Bullet Club in WWE is the last thing I wanna see. The group has more than ran its course over the past 3 years. Their schtick is just old now. Only to die hard who watch Japanese wrestling.

If they do have to change their stable name. I hope their path is similar PCB had to take with a Pornigraphic sounding origin name. I hope that origin name is The Gangbangers or The Gangbang

Bullet metaphors, baby!
They were all LONGSHOTS at becoming WWE superstars.
They are TARGETING all established WWE stars out of jealousy.
They are SHOOTING for the top of the WWE.
You're welcome.

Honestly, the only problem I can see WWE having is that "bullet to the head" gesture they do. Can't see that happening. Well considering around the time of the Beltway Sniper incident they changed Billy Gunn to just being "Mr Ass" because they didn't want the word Gunn, they ain't getting shooting gestures on TV these days

I think they had more of a problem with "bad-ass."

They booked the shield alright they can do the same for these guys. To the wwe audience these guys are all unknown just like shield. They can do shield things without the vests. I don't think it will be hard to build up a stable especially with guys that can go. The shield had two guys that could go and one green guy, this ballor club has potentially 4 experience guys on it. If its four guys in this group then two can dominate the tag division, one can go after the IC ranks, and the other can go for the wwe title or US title then build up to the WWE title instead of hot shotting the chosen one to the top so fast.

If they make Bálor the leader, you just call them "Bálor Club" and call it a day. They've already got shirts for that.

If you brought him back as Matt Bloom, ass-kicker back from Japan, I think he could've gotten over easily. This is one of the reasons I really like how they've handled name changes for well-known guys in NXT. Acknowledge who they were beforehand and give even a minute reasoning behind the name change. Fans bought into it and respectfully chanted their WWE names. As for Albert, it would've really been easy...bring him back and acknowledge everything as above, with the back story of him leaving WWE to compete in Japan and hone his skills. He could've been massively over as a huge badass if they didn't have to take the Japan thing to a ridiculous extreme. As for Gallows - I think he'll be fine as long as he's kept as a big badass right-hand guy. Not everyone has to be a main player. Just like prolific character actors, some wrestlers work better that way and it's a good thing to have them on-hand.

Well considering around the time of the Beltway Sniper incident they changed Billy Gunn to just being "Mr Ass" because they didn't want the word Gunn, they ain't getting shooting gestures on TV these days I'm not sure if those things were related. If I remember correctly he was off TV with an injury as those incidents were going on. He didn't come back until like nearly a year later when he had that god awful run with Torrie.
