LOS ANGELES, April 12 (UPI) -- Fan-favorite New Japan Pro wrestling stars Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows made their WWE debut Monday on Raw.

Rumored for months to be joining WWE, Anderson and Gallows surprise attacked former WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos following their victory against Heath Slater and Curtis Axel of The Social Outcasts.

The duo quickly laid waste to the twin brothers using their devastating finishing maneuver, the self-dubbed "Magic Killer" before exiting the ring through the audience.

"Like a bullet, instant impact by Gallows and Anderson!!" WWE wrote on Twitter referencing the pair's ties to their former stable in New Japan, The Bullet Club.

Anderson and Gallows are the latest members of The Bullet Club to join WWE following the arrivals of AJ Styles who is now facing Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Payback, Shinsuke Nakamura who debuted during WrestleMania week against Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: Dallas, and Prince Devitt who now goes by Finn Balor and is the current NXT Champion.

This is Gallows' second run with WWE after appearing in the organization from 2006 - 2010. Gallows would later compete around the world before teaming up with Anderson to become three-time IWGP Tag Team Champions.

With the team taking out The Usos, it remains to be seen if Anderson and Gallows will be inserted into WWE's currently ongoing number one contender's tag team tournament in order for a chance to face WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day.
