DebutMay 3, 2013[4]
Years active2013–present

Bullet Club (バレットクラブ, Barettokurabu),[5] stylized as BULLET CLUB and sometimes shortened to BC,[6] is a professional wrestling stable primarily appearing in the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). In the United States, the group currently appears on events run by the company's U.S. subsidiary, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America, as well as U.S. partner promotions Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, formerly Impact Wrestling) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The group additionally appears on events promoted by Tamashii, NJPW's Australasian affiliate, as well as on events of other Australasian independent promotions.

The group was formed in May 2013 when Irish wrestler Prince Devitt betrayed his Japanese partner Ryusuke Taguchi and came together with American wrestler Karl Anderson and Tongan wrestlers Bad Luck Fale and Tama Tonga to form a villainous stable of foreigners, which they subsequently named Bullet Club. Before the end of the year, the stable was also joined by three other Americans, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Doc Gallows. Wrestlers from the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion have also worked tours of NJPW as members of Bullet Club, which led to the formation of an offshoot group named Bullet Club Latinoamerica in CMLL in October 2013. At the end of 2013, Bullet Club held both the IWGP Junior Heavyweight and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships while also having conquered three of NJPW's five annual tournaments. The stable marked a major turning point for the career of Devitt, a longtime fan favorite, who began his ascent out of the junior heavyweight division and into the IWGP Heavyweight Championship picture.

In April 2014, Devitt left NJPW and was replaced in Bullet Club by American wrestler AJ Styles. The following month, Bullet Club received its first Japanese member when Yujiro Takahashi betrayed his former partners in Chaos to help Styles capture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, meaning that the stable had now held all titles NJPW had to offer. When NJPW added a seventh title (the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship) at the start of 2016 and an eighth title (the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship) in July 2017, Bullet Club quickly won them as well. To date, they are the first of three stables (the others being Chaos and Taguchi Japan) to have won every championship available in NJPW. They also held every male championship in Ring of Honor (ROH) (World, TV, World Tag Team and Six-Man) active at the time of the NJPW–ROH partnership. The stable continued adding members, most notably Canadian wrestler Kenny Omega, who became the group's leader in early 2016 when Styles, Anderson and Gallows all left NJPW. After a "civil war" between The Elite and OG factions within the stable, Omega, Cody, Marty Scurll, Adam Page and The Young Bucks quietly left the faction in October 2018 to form their own group called The Elite, which would eventually form AEW, with New Zealand wrestler Jay White taking over as the fifth leader of the group.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions in 2020, a portion of the group (including White) could not travel to Japan, with Evil becoming the de facto sixth leader and the leader of the Japan based contingent of the group, while White (along with other members unable to go back to Japan) established a U.S.-based branch. Even after travel restrictions began easing as time went on, the two branch structures would remain in place as they would expand into Impact Wrestling with Chris Bey becoming the first African American member and the first wrestler to join from the Impact roster. In March 2023, David Finlay became the seventh leader of the group. A month later on April 5, 2023, Jay White would make his official debut for AEW, establishing with Juice Robinson a new branch of the group – Bullet Club Gold.

Concept

Bullet Club was conceived by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in early 2013, following a positive fan response to a storyline, where Prince Devitt turned on his longtime tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi to form a villainous partnership with Bad Luck Fale. Originally, Devitt and Fale were scheduled to go on as a duo, but the storyline was altered with them instead coming together with Karl Anderson and Tama Tonga to form an all-gaijin (foreigner) stable.[7] Devitt came up with the name Bullet Club, which was in reference to his finger gun hand gesture and "Real Shooter" nickname and Anderson's nickname, "The Machine Gun".[7][8] In naming the group, Devitt has stated that he specifically did not want the word "the" in front of the name or a name consisting of just three letters.[7] Other names considered for the group included Bullet Parade, Bullet League and Bullet Brigade.[9] As of May 2016, the Bullet Club trademark is owned by NJPW.[10][11] Behind the scenes, the four founding members of Bullet Club were best friends and travel partners.[7][12]

The group has been compared to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) stable New World Order (nWo).[13] As a way of paying homage to the nWo, members of Bullet Club began using the stable's signature "Too Sweet" hand gesture.[14] The gesture, originally conceived by The Kliq's Sean Waltman and referred to by Kevin Nash as the "Turkish wolf",[15] had supposedly been used by Anderson and Devitt behind the scenes since 2006.[16] In March 2015, WWE filed a trademark application for the hand gesture.[17] Some, including Matt and Nick Jackson, suggested this was done due to Bullet Club's popularity.[18][19] The application was ultimately abandoned by WWE.[20] In August 2015, after Devitt had joined WWE as Finn Bálor, WWE released Bálor Club merchandise playing off Bullet Club.[21] WWE recognized Bullet Club in the first week of January 2016, when discussing rumors about members of the stable joining the promotion,[22] preceding A.J. Styles' debut in the WWE as a 2016 Royal Rumble contestant.[23] In April 2016, the former Bullet Club tag team of Gallows and Anderson debuted for WWE, with their NJPW background again being acknowledged by the company,[24] eventually forming The Club with Styles.[25] On September 25, 2017, Bullet Club appeared outside WWE's Raw show in Ontario, California, spoofing a segment from 1998 where D-Generation X "invaded" WCW's Nitro.[26][27] Afterwards, WWE sent members of the stable a cease and desist letter, claiming they were using the company's intellectual property, specifically the Too Sweet hand gesture, leading to merchandise featuring the gesture being pulled from stores.[28] WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs was let go by the company for posting a photo on Instagram with members of Bullet Club, taken during the mock invasion.[29]

nWo's founding member Kevin Nash has praised Bullet Club as a more athletic version of the nWo, stating that there is mutual respect between the two stables,[30] and informally passing the torch from his stable to Bullet Club.[31] Jeff Jarrett, who has represented both Bullet Club and nWo, has named in-ring ability as the main difference between the two stables, stating "Bullet Club is off the charts bell to bell more talented".[32] Former NJPW wrestler and current WWE trainer Matt Bloom has stated that Bullet Club's popularity helped the promotion become global.[33]

Bullet Club's matches often involve excessive outside interference, ref bumps and other tactics, which are more common in American professional wrestling and are rarely seen in Japanese puroresu, even in matches involving other villainous acts. This disregard for Japanese traditions and culture got the stable over as a top act.[34][35] Bullet Club has garnered a substantial amount of worldwide popularity,[13] especially among American professional wrestling fans.[35] As of March 2016, the stable's original Bone Soldier shirt was the top selling shirt on the Pro Wrestling Tees store, outselling all top independent wrestlers and WWE veterans that are affiliated with the site.[36] In 2017, Bullet Club shirts were made available at Hot Topic stores,[37] where they also became big sellers,[38] supposedly selling 100,000 copies in the first three months. Bullet Club's popularity in the United States has led to members of the stable working as fan favorites at events held in the country.[39][40]

As Bullet Club is owned by NJPW, all wrestlers joining the stable, including those who have joined at Ring of Honor (ROH) events, have to be approved by NJPW booker Gedo.[41]

History

Prince Devitt era (2013–2014)

Prince Devitt, the original de facto leader of Bullet Club, on the shoulders of Bad Luck Fale

On February 3, 2013, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Prince Devitt pinned IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi in a tag team match, where Devitt and Karl Anderson faced Tanahashi and Devitt's longtime Apollo 55 tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi.[42] This led to a match between Devitt and Tanahashi on March 3 at NJPW's 41st anniversary event. Though neither man's title was on the line in the match, Tanahashi vowed to relinquish the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in case Devitt was victorious.[43] After defeating Devitt, Tanahashi went to help his opponent up, but was pushed away by the disappointed Junior Heavyweight Champion.[44][45] The following weeks, Devitt began portraying a more cocky and villainous persona, regularly disrespecting both partners and opponents, with the exception of Ryusuke Taguchi, whom he tried to get to go along with his new attitude.[46][47] However, this changed on April 7 at the Invasion Attack pay-per-view, when Devitt attacked Taguchi, after the two had failed to recapture the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from the Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida). During the attack, Devitt was helped by the returning King Fale, who attacked not only Taguchi, but also Time Splitters and Captain New Japan, whom Devitt then proceeded to unmask. Following the attack, Devitt took a microphone, introduced Fale as his new "bouncer", giving him the new name "The Underboss" Bad Luck Fale and dubbed himself the "Real Rock 'n' Rolla".[48][49] At the following pay-per-view, Wrestling Dontaku 2013 on May 3, Devitt and Fale teamed up for the first time to defeat Taguchi and Captain New Japan in a tag team match.[50] Later in the event, Devitt and Fale entered the ring to attack the now former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi, after he had defeated Karl Anderson in a singles match. Anderson was invited to join the attack at first hesitant as he was confused, but then turned on Tanahashi, hitting him with the Gun Stun. Also Tama Tonga who makes his return and who had a partnership [4] with Anderson for the last few weeks joined the attack.[51][52][53] In a post-match interview, the four men announced the formation of an all-gaijin stable named "Bullet Club".[54][55]

The four members of Bullet Club wrestled their first match together on May 22, when they defeated Captain New Japan, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Manabu Nakanishi and Ryusuke Taguchi in an eight-man tag team match.[56] Two days later, Devitt entered the 2013 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he won his block with a clean record of eight wins and zero losses,[57] advancing to the knockout stage on June 9, where he first defeated Kenny Omega in the semifinals and then Alex Shelley in the finals to win the tournament,[58] after which he proceeded to challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi.[59][60] Devitt's old tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi had originally earned a spot in the semifinals of the tournament, but a legitimate hip injury forced him to pull out.[61][62] During the following day's press conference, Devitt also mentioned a move to the heavyweight division, aiming to become the first wrestler to hold the IWGP Junior Heavyweight and IWGP Heavyweight Championships simultaneously.[63][64] On June 22 at Dominion 6.22, Devitt defeated Tanahashi, again following interference from the rest of the Bullet Club, to earn his first-ever shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.[65] The reigning champion, Kazuchika Okada, accepted Devitt's challenge for the title later in the event on the condition that he first defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against his Chaos stablemate Gedo.[66][67] Bullet Club's feud with Tanahashi continued at the July 5 Kizuna Road 2013 pay-per-view, where Tama Tonga and visiting Mexican wrestler Terrible lost the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) World Tag Team Championship to Tanahashi and Jyushin Thunder Liger.[68] Terrible worked also the rest of his two-week NJPW tour as a member of Bullet Club.[69][70][71] After successfully defending his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Gedo,[72] Devitt received his match for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on July 20, but was defeated by Okada, despite interference from the rest of Bullet Club.[73][74] From August 1 to 11, both Devitt and Anderson took part in the 2013 G1 Climax, wrestling in separate round-robin blocks.[75] During the tournament, Devitt picked up big wins, albeit through outside interference, over reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and former champions Hiroshi Tanahashi, Satoshi Kojima and Togi Makabe,[76][77][78] but failed to advance from his block. Meanwhile, Anderson entered the final day with a chance to reach the finals, but a loss against Tetsuya Naito eliminated him from the tournament.[79][80] On September 5, Rey Bucanero, another CMLL wrestler, started a NJPW tour working as a member of Bullet Club.[81][82] On September 14, the rest of Bullet Club helped Bucanero and Tama Tonga defeat Hiroshi Tanahashi and Jyushin Thunder Liger for the CMLL World Tag Team Championship.[83][84] The rivalry between Devitt and Tanahashi culminated in a Lumberjack Deathmatch on September 29 at Destruction, where Tanahashi was victorious.[85][86]

On October 11, Tonga and Bucanero returned to CMLL, where they formed "Bullet Club Latinoamerica" with CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Terrible and female wrestler and manager La Comandante.[87][88] However, a week later, Tonga and Bucanero were stripped of the CMLL World Tag Team Championship, when they were unable to defend the title against La Máscara and Rush due to Bucanero being sidelined with an injury.[89][90] On October 25, American tag team The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) made their NJPW debut as the newest members of Bullet Club by entering the 2013 Super Jr. Tag Tournament.[91][92] In early November, The Young Bucks defeated the Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov and Rocky Romero) in the finals to win the tournament,[93][94] later defeating Suzuki-gun (Taichi and Taka Michinoku) to become the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.[95][96] On November 11, NJPW announced the participating teams in the 2013 World Tag League. In the tournament, Bullet Club would be represented by two teams in separate blocks; Devitt and Fale in block A and Anderson and the debuting American Doc Gallows in block B.[97] On December 7, both teams entered the final day of the round-robin portion of the tournament with a chance to advance to the semifinals. Anderson and Gallows won their block with a record of four wins and two losses by defeating NWA World Tag Team Champions The IronGodz (Jax Dane and Rob Conway), while Devitt and Fale were eliminated with a record of three wins and three losses, after losing to Captain New Japan and Hiroshi Tanahashi, who had lost all their other matches in the tournament.[98] The following day, Anderson and Gallows first defeated Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma in the semifinals and then Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima in the finals to win the tournament.[99][100] This led to a match on January 4, 2014, at Wrestle Kingdom 8, where they defeated K.E.S. (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship.[101][102] During the same event, Devitt lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship to Kota Ibushi, ending his fourteen-month reign.[101][103]

February's The New Beginning tour featured Bullet Club defending both of their tag team championships and the re-ignition of a rivalry between Devitt and his former partner Ryusuke Taguchi, who returned from an eight-month injury break.[104] Devitt dominated his encounters with Taguchi for most of the tour, including pinning him in his return eight-man tag team match on February 2,[105][106][107] but at the tour ending event, The New Beginning in Osaka, Taguchi pinned his former partner in a tag team match, where he teamed with Togi Makabe and Devitt with Fale.[108][109] On March 8, 2014, at Raising the Bar: Night 2 The Young Bucks defeated reDRagon to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship, and with their Junior Tag Team Titles they became double champions. In March, Bad Luck Fale made it to the finals of the 2014 New Japan Cup, but was defeated there by Shinsuke Nakamura.[110] As the one-year anniversary of the break-up of Apollo 55 approached, the rivalry between Devitt and Taguchi escalated, leading to Taguchi challenging his rival to a Loser Leaves Town match.[111] However, the stipulation was never made official for their Invasion Attack 2014 match on April 6. During the match, Devitt got into an argument with The Young Bucks, after the two repeatedly interfered in the match despite his orders not to do so. This led to The Young Bucks turning on Devitt, who responded by diving onto his Bullet Club stablemates. After Taguchi defeated Devitt, the two men shook hands, ending their rivalry with each other and Devitt's association with Bullet Club.[112][113] Devitt's resignation from NJPW was announced the following day.[114][115][116]

A.J. Styles era (2014–2016)

2014

A.J. Styles, who joined Bullet Club in April 2014 and brought the IWGP Heavyweight Championship over to the stable the following month. He is the unofficial third leader.

Later at Invasion Attack 2014, American wrestler A.J. Styles debuted as the newest member of Bullet Club, attacking IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. Styles, who knew Okada from their days working together for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, claimed that Okada was still the same "young boy" (rookie) he had known in TNA and asserted himself as the next challenger for his title.[113][117] Following Invasion Attack 2014, with Styles still working a full schedule on the American independent circuit and only booked to work NJPW's larger events,[118] Anderson was positioned as the new leader of Bullet Club.[119][120] However, Styles was considered the leader of the ROH version of Bullet Club,[121] a role which was also given to him by NJPW by the end of 2015.[122] Styles, however, has maintained that he was never the leader as, according to him, the group "[did not] follow anybody".[123] On May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2014, Styles defeated Okada to become the new IWGP Heavyweight Champion, when Yujiro Takahashi turned on Okada and the Chaos stable and jumped to Bullet Club, becoming its first Japanese member.[124][125] With Bullet Club capturing NJPW's top title, while also holding both of its tag team titles, and adding new members, this was billed as a "rebirth" for the stable, which was celebrating its one-year anniversary during the event.[126]

Later in the month, Bullet Club took part in NJPW's North American tour, produced in collaboration with ROH.[127] The Young Bucks, who entered the tour as both the IWGP Junior Heavyweight and ROH World Tag Team Champions,[128] lost the latter title to reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) on May 17, ending their two-month reign in their first defense.[129] Meanwhile, their seven-month reign as the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions ended on June 21 at Dominion 6.21, where they were defeated by the Time Splitters in their sixth defense.[130][131] Later that same event, Bad Luck Fale defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to become the new IWGP Intercontinental Champion.[130][131] On June 29, Yujiro Takahashi brought another title over to the Bullet Club, when he defeated Tomohiro Ishii with help from his stablemates for the NEVER Openweight Championship.[132][133] With the win, Bullet Club had won every title in NJPW, now simultaneously holding all four of its heavyweight titles.[134]

From July 21 to August 8, five members of Bullet Club took part in the 2014 G1 Climax with Fale and Gallows wrestling in block A and Anderson, Styles and Takahashi in block B.[135][136] All five failed to advance from their blocks with Fale finishing third and Gallows ninth in their block of eleven and Styles finishing second, Anderson third and Takahashi tied sixth in their block. Styles was eliminated due to losing to block winner Okada in their head-to-head match.[137][138] On August 10, Global Force Wrestling (GFW) founder Jeff Jarrett joined Bullet Club, attacking Hiroshi Tanahashi after he had defeated Styles in a non-title match.[139][140] On September 21 at Destruction in Kobe, Fale lost the IWGP Intercontinental Championship back to Shinsuke Nakamura in his first defense.[141][142] Bullet Club lost their two remaining singles titles on October 13 at King of Pro-Wrestling with Takahashi losing the NEVER Openweight Championship back to Tomohiro Ishii in his second title defense, while in the main event Styles lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to Hiroshi Tanahashi in his third defense, after Jeff Jarrett's outside interference was stopped by the returning Yoshitatsu (Jarrett would leave the faction shortly after).[143][144]

Yujiro Takahashi, Bullet Club's first Japanese member

On November 8 at Power Struggle, Kenny Omega, who had joined NJPW at the beginning of the month,[145] became the newest member of Bullet Club, challenging Ryusuke Taguchi to a match for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[146][147] Omega had earlier dismissed the idea of joining Bullet Club as he did not consider himself a gaijin after six years of living in Japan,[145] but now claimed he had lied and only wanted money and the title.[148][149] Refusing to speak Japanese despite being fluent in the language,[150][151] Omega dubbed himself "The Cleaner" with the idea of him being there to "clean up" the junior heavyweight division.[149] From November 22 to December 5, three Bullet Club teams took part in the 2014 World Tag League; Anderson and Gallows and Styles and Takahashi in block A and Fale and Tonga in block B.[152] Anderson and Gallows won their block with a record of five wins and two losses, while Styles and Takahashi finished close behind with four wins and three losses.[153] Styles and Takahashi were victorious over the reigning IWGP Tag Team Champions in the head-to-head match between the Bullet Club teams,[154] but were left behind them in the final standings due to losing to Okada and Yoshi-Hashi on the final day.[155] Meanwhile, Fale and Tonga finished at the bottom of their block with a record of three wins and four losses.[153] On December 7, Anderson and Gallows were defeated in the finals of the tournament by Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata.[156][157]

2015

Cody Hall, the first "young boy" brought in as a personal understudy of Bullet Club

On January 4, 2015, at Wrestle Kingdom 9, Omega, in his first match as a member of Bullet Club, defeated Ryusuke Taguchi to become the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, while Anderson and Gallows lost the IWGP Tag Team Championship to Goto and Shibata, ending their year-long reign in their seventh defense.[158][159] The following day, Cody Hall, the son of nWo founding member Scott Hall, joined Bullet Club as the stable's personal "young boy" with Anderson stating that he would have to earn his spot as a full-fledged member.[160][161] Later that month, NJPW relaunched Bullet Club Latin-American in time for the Fantastica Mania 2015 tour, co-produced by NJPW and CMLL.[162] On January 18, during the fifth day of Fantastica Mania 2015, CMLL wrestler Mephisto joined Bullet Club, prior to successfully defending his Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship against Stuka Jr.[163][164] On February 11 at The New Beginning in Osaka, The Young Bucks regained the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship by defeating defending champions reDRagon and Time Splitters in a three-way match.[165][166][167] Later that same event, Anderson and Gallows regained the IWGP Tag Team Championship from Goto and Shibata,[168] while in the main event A.J. Styles defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to also bring the IWGP Heavyweight Championship back to Bullet Club.[166][169] Both of Bullet Club's tag team championship reigns ended in their first title defenses on April 5 at Invasion Attack 2015 with The Young Bucks being defeated by Roppongi Vice (Beretta and Rocky Romero) and Anderson and Gallows by the ROH tag team The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Michael Bennett).[170][171]

The Young Bucks regained the title on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2015 in a three-way match with Roppongi Vice and reDRagon.[172][173] Also during the event, Bullet Club was involved in the first NJPW match to feature female wrestlers in over twelve years,[174] where Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and his wife Amber Gallows were defeated by Maria Kanellis, Matt Taven and Michael Bennett in a six-person intergender tag team match.[172][173] On July 5 at Dominion 7.5 in Osaka-jo Hall, Kenny Omega lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship to the 2015 Best of the Super Juniors winner Kushida in his fourth defense,[175][176] while Anderson and Gallows defeated Bennett and Taven in a rematch to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship for the third time.[175][176] In the main event, Styles lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to Kazuchika Okada in his second defense.[175][176] From July 20 to August 15, five members of Bullet Club took part in the 2015 G1 Climax with Fale, Gallows and Styles in block A and Anderson and Takahashi in block B.[177] Both Styles and Anderson entered their last round-robin matches with a chance to advance to the finals, but were eliminated after losing to Hiroshi Tanahashi and Satoshi Kojima, respectively.[178][179] On August 16, The Young Bucks lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to reDRagon in their second defense.[180][181] From September 4 to 6, Styles and The Young Bucks represented Bullet Club in American promotion Chikara's 2015 King of Trios tournament, where they made it to the finals, before losing to Team AAA (Aero Star, Drago and Fénix).[182] On September 23 at Destruction in Okayama, Omega defeated Kushida, following outside interference from Anderson, to regain the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[183][184] On October 23, Chase Owens became the newest member of Bullet Club.[185]

Kenny Omega's leadership (2016–2018)

2016

Kenny Omega, who took over as the fourth leader of Bullet Club in January 2016

On January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10, The Young Bucks regained the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, Omega lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship back and Anderson and Gallows lost the IWGP Tag Team Championship.[186] In Bullet Club's final title match of the event, Styles unsuccessfully challenged Shinsuke Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship.[186] Hours after the event, it was reported that Anderson, Gallows, and Styles had all given their notice to NJPW and would be leaving the promotion for WWE.[187][188] The following day, the rest of Bullet Club turned on Styles and kicked him out of the group with Omega taking over the leadership.[189] Omega also announced his graduation from the junior heavyweight division,[190] stating that he did not want a rematch with Kushida, but instead a match with Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship.[191]

In the aftermath of Omega taking over Bullet Club's leadership, he and The Young Bucks formed their own subgroup within the stable, called The Elite.[192][193][194] Omega and The Young Bucks came up with the idea for The Elite themselves, feeling the need to create something new after being forced by NJPW into Bullet Club and what Omega called a "Too Sweet", "Suck it" parody of the nWo.[195] Omega stated that he and The Young Bucks were The Elite, but accepted if NJPW continued calling them Bullet Club "in parentheses" as the stable was their "cash cow". He explained the name change by stating that following Anderson, Gallows and Styles' departures from NJPW, "Bullet Club [was not] so much the Bullet Club anymore".[196] Omega later added his opinion that Anderson, Gallows and Styles' departures had "watered down" Bullet Club's ranks, which is why he wanted to push The Elite to the forefront, claiming that when people said that "Bullet Club [had] been doing some really cool stuff", they always meant him and The Young Bucks and not the other members of the group.[195]

Tanga Loa, who was brought in to form the Guerrillas of Destiny tag team alongside Tonga

During 2016, Gallows and Anderson also left NJPW after signing a contract with WWE,[193][197] with their final match in NJPW taking place at Honor Rising: Japan in an eight-man tag team match where Bullet Club lost. However, on March 12, Tonga revealed that his partner for the upcoming IWGP Tag Team Championship match and the newest member of Bullet Club was his real-life brother Tevita Fifita,[198] who was two days later given the ring name "Tanga Loa", with the tag team between him and Tonga dubbed "Guerrillas of Destiny" (GOD).[199][200][201] In ROH, Anderson, Gallows, and Styles left the stable in a more peaceful goodbye, compared to their more violent NJPW departure, where the stable kicked them out by beating them up. Also, ROH wrestlers Adam Cole and Adam Page joined the stable in May.[202][203][204] Cole went on to form another Bullet Club sub-group with The Young Bucks, named "Superkliq".[205] In NJPW, Page was given the ring name "Hangman Page",[206] which he eventually also began using in ROH.[207]

Adam Cole, who brought the Ring of Honor (ROH) World Championship to the stable

Before summer, several members of the Bullet Club won titles, like the Young Bucks winning the IWGP Jr. Tag team Titles, Guerrillas of Destiny winning the IWGP Tag Team Titles and Omega winning the Intercontinental title.[208][209] However, the biggest accomplishment was Omega winning the 2016 G1 Climax,[210] becoming the third wrestler to win the tournament in his first attempt as well as the first non-Japanese wrestler in history to win the tournament.[211][212] During the following month, Captain New Japan and Cody joined Bullet Club.[213][214][215] Captain changed his character to "Bone Soldier".[216] The name came from Bullet Club's original shirt, which featured a character named Bone Soldier.[36] In addition, the term had previously also been used as a nickname for members of Bullet Club.[2] Also, The Young Bucks won the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the second time[217] and Guerrillas of Destiny regained the IWGP Tag Team Championship,[218] but Adam Cole lost the ROH World Championship.[219]

The Elite

On January 4, 2017, at Wrestle Kingdom 11, The Young Bucks lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to Roppongi Vice.[220][221] while the Guerrillas of Destiny lost the IWGP Tag Team Championship to Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano.[220][222] In the main event of the show, Omega unsuccessfully challenged Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.[220][223]

Afterwards, Omega took a hiatus from NJPW to "reassess [his] future".[224][225] Upon his return on February 26, a new storyline involving tension between Omega and Cole was started, with The Young Bucks caught in the middle.[226] On February 11, Frankie Kazarian joined Bullet Club, turning on longtime tag team partner Christopher Daniels at a taping of Ring of Honor Wrestling.[227] On March 4, The Young Bucks lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy).[228] On March 10 at ROH's 15th Anniversary Show, Kazarian turned on Adam Cole and Bullet Club, revealing his tenure was only a ruse to help Christopher Daniels become the new ROH World Champion.[229][230] The following day, Cole, disappointed with The Young Bucks for not having his back, tried to fire them from Bullet Club, but the two responded by stating that he could not fire them as Omega, not Cole, was the leader of the stable.[231] On May 12, Omega fired Cole from Bullet Club and gave his spot in the stable to ROH World Television Champion Marty Scurll.[232][233] Two days later, on the final night of the tour, Scurll lost the ROH World Television Championship to Kushida, following a distraction from Cole.[234]

In the months following Wrestle Kingdom 11, Omega looked for another shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, but his plan of obtaining one through the 2017 New Japan Cup was derailed, when he was eliminated in his first round match by Tomohiro Ishii.[235] After defeating Ishii in a rematch on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2017, Omega was nominated by Kazuchika Okada for an IWGP Heavyweight Championship rematch at Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-jo Hall.[236][237] On June 11 at Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-jo Hall, The Young Bucks defeated Roppongi Vice to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the sixth time.[238] In the main event of the show, Omega and Okada wrestled to a 60-minute time limit draw for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.[238] The match also started a storyline, where Omega and Cody began having problems with each other with Cody wanting to throw in the towel for Omega, insisting he was too badly injured.[239] On June 23 at Best in the World, Cody defeated Christopher Daniels to bring the ROH World Championship back to Bullet Club.[240] On July 1, during the first night of G1 Special in USA, Cody unsuccessfully challenged Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Omega, playing off what had happened at Dominion, walked out, wanting to throw in the towel for Cody, which led to Cody confronting him after the show.[241] The following day, Omega defeated Tomohiro Ishii in the finals of an eight-man tournament to become the inaugural IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion.[242]

During their time together in NJPW, Cody and Omega consistently butted heads over control of the Bullet Club...
...Eventually culminating in Cody attacking Omega at The New Beginning in Sapporo, leading to a "Civil War" within the group.

Later that month, three members of Bullet Club took part in the 2017 G1 Climax; Fale in block A and Omega and Tonga in block B. Omega won his block and advanced to the finals of the tournament with a record of seven wins and two losses by defeating IWGP Heavyweight Champion Okada in their third match against each other on August 12.[243] During the head-to-head match between Omega and Tonga, which was won by the former, tensions escalated between the two with Tonga questioning Omega's leadership of Bullet Club due to his association with The Elite.[244] On August 13, Omega was defeated in the finals of the 2017 G1 Climax by Tetsuya Naito. On September 6, it was announced that Tonga and Loa's youngest brother, NJPW young lion Leo Tonga, was joining Bullet Club, replacing Omega on an upcoming tour due to him having suffered a knee injury.[245][246] On September 22 at Death Before Dishonor XV, The Young Bucks lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to The Motor City Machine Guns.[247] On November 5 at Power Struggle, Scurll defeated Will Ospreay to bring the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship back to Bullet Club. On November 17, actor Stephen Amell, who had befriended Cody when they worked together in WWE, joined Bullet Club,[248] wrestling his first match as a member at ROH's show later that same day.[249] The following month, Guerrillas of Destiny made it to their second consecutive World Tag League final by winning their block in the 2017 tournament with a record of five wins and two losses.[250][251] On December 11, they were defeated in the finals of the tournament by Los Ingobernables de Japón (Evil and Sanada).[252] Four days later at ROH's Final Battle, Cody lost the ROH World Championship to Dalton Castle.[253] On December 17, Fale and Guerrillas of Destiny defeated Bushi, Evil and Sanada to become the new NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions.[254]

On January 4, 2018, at Wrestle Kingdom 12, the Young Bucks defeated Roppongi 3K (Sho and Yoh) to regain the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[255] Also at the event, Fale and the Guerrillas of Destiny lost the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship and Marty Scurll lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship back to Will Ospreay.[255] The following night at New Year Dash!! 2018, Fale and the G.O.D. defeated Beretta, Ishii and Yano to win back the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship, beginning 2018 with six members of Bullet Club holding championships in NJPW (the others being Omega and the Young Bucks with the IWGP United States Championship and the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championships respectively).[256] At the same event, Bullet Club, with Cody leading, attempted to attack Kota Ibushi with a chair following a 10-man tag match, but were stopped by Omega, teasing tension between the two men over the leadership of Bullet Club.[256] On night two of The New Beginning in Sapporo, following Omega's loss of the IWGP United States Championship to Jay White, he was attacked by Cody and hit with the Cross Rhodes, continuing the infighting within the faction.[257]

Bullet Club Civil War (2018)

The rivalry between Cody and Omega continued throughout February and March at both Ring Of Honor and NJPW events, beginning a series of matches pitting members of Bullet Club against each other in both tag and singles matches. During this time, Tongan members Tonga, Loa and Fale keep distance with the two factions, being known as Bullet Club OGs.[258] Around this time, the tension within Bullet Club would be documented as the focus of the YouTube series Being The Elite. G.O.D. also began their own YouTube series following the members of Bullet Club who are stationed mainly in NJPW.

Taiji Ishimori, Bullet Club's third Japanese member

On April 7, Omega and Cody fought in a singles match at Supercard of Honor XII. During the match, the Young Bucks attempted to help Omega by superkicking Cody. However, this backfired when Cody moved out of the way, with the Bucks kicking Omega instead. Thanks to this, Cody was able to use the Cross Rhodes on Omega to win the match.[259] Following the reunion of the Golden☆Lovers and despite not joining Bullet Club as a member, Ibushi would become a regular in Bullet Club tag matches.

On May 3, the first night of Wrestling Dontaku 2018, the trio of the Young Bucks and Scurll defeated Fale and the G.O.D. to capture the NEVER Six-Man Tag Team Championship.[260] During the second night of Wrestling Dontaku, Tama Tonga introduced the new "Bone Soldier", who attacked Ospreay and revealed himself to be Taiji Ishimori.[261] Ishimori would go on to win Block A of the Best of the Super Juniors 2018 tournament,[262] but ended up losing to Hiromu Takahashi in the finals.[263]

On June 9 at Dominion in Osaka-jo Hall, the Young Bucks defeated Evil and Sanada to win the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships for the first time, and Omega would defeat Kazuchika Okada 2 falls to 1 to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship for the first time, ending Okada's reign as the longest champion in history at 720 days. After the match, Omega made peace with the Young Bucks in the ring, and would announce during the post match comments that Ibushi, the Young Bucks, and himself had the formed a new sub-group called The Golden Elite. The following day at a press conference aired on NJPW World, Omega confirmed that he and the Young Bucks were still a part of the Bullet Club, as well as clarifying that while Ibushi had joined The Elite, he was not a member of Bullet Club. Omega also claimed he was still the leader of Bullet Club, and announced that his first defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship would be against Cody at the G1 Special at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.[264]

On July 7, at the G1 Special, Omega defeated Cody to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Title. After Omega's usual post-match address to the fans, he and The Young Bucks were joined by Tonga, Loa and King Haku. The Tongans appeared to be congratulating Omega, only to attack them soon after, revealing new "B.C. Firing Squad" T-shirts, as they did so. Page and Scurll both came to The Elite's defense by attacking the Tongans, before Yujiro Takahashi and Owens attempted to bring the conflict to a halt; the Tongans ultimately dismantled all four. Cody then came out and was offered a chance to attack Omega with a steel chair, only to go after the Tongans and be attacked as well. As the Tongans left, declaring themselves to be the true Bullet Club, Omega and Cody embraced, finally realigning and in effect restoring Omega's leadership of the group on their side.[265] Fale and Hikuleo were shown to have aligned with the Bullet Club OG contingent in a video entitled "Don't Call it a Comeback" on G.O.D.'s official YouTube channel.[266] During a livestream on Instagram on August 10, 2018, Tama Tonga confirmed that Ishimori is aligned with Bullet Club OG. On the final of the G1 Climax 28, the trio of Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and Taiji Ishimori beat the trio of the Young Bucks and Marty Scurll for the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Championship.

On October 8, 2018, at King of Pro-Wrestling, former Chaos members Jay White, Jado and Gedo joined Bullet Club. Australian wrestler Robbie Eagles was also announced as a new member as Ishimori's tag team partner in the Super Jr. Tag League.[267]

On October 24, 2018, Cody announced that he was no longer a member of the Bullet Club via his official Twitter account.[268] On the Talk is Jericho podcast with Chris Jericho on October 30, Matt Jackson confirmed that he, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, Marty Scurll, his brother Nick Jackson, and Adam Page are now called simply The Elite and that they are no longer part of the Bullet Club. All members except one (Scurll) left NJPW and ROH and are now part of the brand-new promotion All Elite Wrestling.[269]

Jay White's leadership (2018–2023)

2018–2019

Jay White, who took over as the fifth leader of Bullet Club

At the end of 2018, Taiji Ishimori and Robbie Eagles ended the Super Jr. Tag League in a tie for 4th place with 3 wins and 4 losses for a total score of 6,[270] while Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa lost in the finals of the World Tag League 2018 against Los Ingobernables de Japón (Evil and Sanada).[271] Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi rejoined Bullet Club at New Year Dash.[272][273] On December 22, Tama Tonga announced that White was the new leader of the Bullet Club.[274] At Wrestle Kingdom 13, White defeated Okada in a singles match. Also, during the event Ishimori defeated Kushida to win the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. At The New Beginning in Osaka, White defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi with a Blade Runner to win the IWGP Heavyweight Title. On February 23, Guerillas of Destiny would capture their fifth tag team heavyweight championship against EVIL and Sanada of Los Ingobernables de Japón at Honor Rising. On March 8, it was announced that El Phantasmo would be joining Bullet Club. On April 6, at G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden the Guerrillas of Destiny retained their IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles and won the ROH World Tag Team Titles from Villain Enterprises (Brody King and PCO) in a Winner take all Fatal 4 Way Match that also involved the Teams of Los Ingobernables de Japón (Evil and Sanada) and The Briscoe Brothers (Mark and Jay Briscoe). The same night however Taiji Ishimori lost the Jr. Heavyweight Title to Dragon Lee in a triple threat match that also involved Bandido and in the Main Event Jay White lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to Kazuchika Okada.[275]

Ishimori, Phantasmo, and Eagles would all enter the Best of the Super Juniors tournament, with Ishimori ending with 14 points, Phantasmo ending with 12 points, and Eagles ending with 10 points. Ishimori and Phantasmo would defeat Roppongi 3K to win the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles on June 16, 2019. On June 30, at Southern Showdown in Sydney, Australia, Robbie Eagles defected from Bullet Club after refusing to hit Will Ospreay with a chair at the request of White, Jado, and Bad Luck Fale. Eagles hit White with a superkick and helped Ospreay up to his feet, then aided Ospreay, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Kazuchika Okada in fending off the Bullet Club members, following which they accepted him as an official member of CHAOS, completing his defection.[276] On August 12, at the 2019 G1 Climax Final, Kenta turned on Tomohiro Ishii and Yoshi-Hashi in a match against Bad Luck Fale and the Guerillas of Destiny, aligning himself with Bullet Club. After the match, Kenta was attacked by Katsuyori Shibata for his betrayal, but Shibata was quickly overwhelmed by Bullet Club.[277] In the main event, Kota Ibushi defeated White to win the 2019 G1 Climax.[278] On August 25, 2019, El Phantasmo won the Super J-Cup when he defeated Dragon Lee.

On August 31 at Royal Quest, NJPW's first independently promoted show in the United Kingdom, Kenta defeated Tomohiro Ishii for the NEVER Openweight Championship, thus winning his first championship in NJPW and bringing the title to Bullet Club. At the Destruction in Kobe event, White defeated Tetsuya Naito to win the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in the main event.

2020

At Wrestle Kingdom 14, Guerillas of Destiny would lose the tag team titles to Juice Robinson and David Finlay, White would lose the Intercontinental Championship back to Naito, Ishimori and Phantasmo would lose the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles back to Roppongi 3K, and Kenta would lose the NEVER Openweight Championship to Hirooki Goto.

After defeating Kazuchika Okada in the New Japan Cup 2020 finals, Evil would turn on Los Ingobernables de Japon stablemate Tetsuya Naito and joined Bullet Club. The next night at Dominion in Osaka-jo Hall, Evil defeated Naito to become the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion with the help of Bullet Club's new member Dick Togo. After the match, Evil announced that he had taken over control of Bullet Club in White's absence, becoming the stable's first Japanese leader. On August 21, 2020 Kenta defeated David Finlay to win the first ever New Japan Cup USA, and therefore earn a future match for the IWGP United States Championship.[279]

On August 29, 2020, at Summer Struggle in Jingu, Ishimori would bring back the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship by beating Hiromu Takahashi, meanwhile Evil would lose the Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles back to Naito.[280]

Both Jay White and Kenta made their return to Japan for G1 Climax 30, with fellow Bullet Club members Evil and Takahashi also taking part in the tournament. This marked the beginning of an internal conflict within Bullet Club, as Evil became reluctant to relinquish leadership of the group back to White, resulting in two simultaneous de facto leaders, with other members aligning more with one or the other. Both White (in block A) and Evil (in block B) came close to winning their respective blocks with scores of 12, but were ultimately unsuccessful.[281][282]

On November 7 at Power Struggle, Kenta successfully defended his New Japan Cup USA-earned IWGP United States Championship challenge rights certificate, while White defeated G1 Climax winner Kota Ibushi to win Ibushi's IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships challenge rights certificate for Wrestle Kingdom 15, marking the first time in G1 Climax history that the winner would fail to successfully defend their challenge rights certificate. In the main event, Evil attempted to regain the Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles from Naito, with White interfering towards the end of the match, and teasing an attack on Evil before proceeding to attack Naito instead; however, Ibushi chased White away, and Naito eventually defeated Evil to retain his titles.[283]

2021

At Wrestle Kingdom 15, White failed to win the Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles from Ibushi. In a backstage comment after the match, White without Gedo teased quitting the company, stating, "maybe my time should be spent somewhere else."[284][285] At New Year's Dash the following day, White took the pin fall in a ten-man tag team match with Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens, EVIL, and Yujiro Takahashi, against CHAOS members Yoshi-Hashi, Tomohiro Ishii, Kazuchika Okada, Hirooki Goto and Toru Yano (Ishii pinned White after a Vertical Drop Brainbuster). His teammates assisted him to the back. On the Road to The New Beginning on January 23, 2021, El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori defeated El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru of Suzuki-Gun to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for a second time. After a month-long hiatus, White returned on February 1 on the Road to the New Beginning show attacking Ishii continuing their feud.

On the February 3 episode of AEW Dynamite, Kenta appeared and launched a sneak attack on current IWGP United States Champion Jon Moxley after Moxley attacked Kenny Omega.[286] After the match, Omega said he would team with Kenta in a match against Moxley and Lance Archer.[287] At The New Beginning USA on February 26 Kenta finally received his title match against Moxley, but ultimately lost.[288] At Road to Castle Attack on February 25 Ishimori and Phantasmo lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship back to Suzuki-Gun.[289] On Night 1 of Castle Attack Jay White defeated Tomohiro Ishii in the semi-main event while Evil lost to Kazuchika Okada in the main event.[290] On the second night G.O.D. successfully retained their IWGP Tag Team titles against the team of Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi while El Phantasmo failed to win the vacant IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[290] On June 1, G.O.D. lost their IWGP Tag Team Championships to the Dangerous Tekkers. On June 23, At Kizuna Road Taiji Ishimori and El Phantasmo defeated Roppongi 3K to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the third time.

Following Roppongi 3K's break-up during the August 16, 2021, edition of Super Junior Tag League, a grudge match between Sho and Yoh was set up on night one of Wrestle Grand Slam in MetLife Dome which Sho won. After the match, Bullet Club's EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, and Dick Togo would enter the ring and present SHO with a Bullet Club shirt signalling SHO's welcoming into Bullet Club. They would announce the four of them would form a subgroup within Bullet Club called House of Torture.[291]

On November 6 at Power Struggle, Kenta defeated Hiroshi to win the IWGP United States Championship while House of Torture defeated Yoshi, Tomohiro, and Hirooki to win the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.[292]

Expansion into Impact Wrestling

El Phantasmo, who along with Chris Bey and Hikuleo established a U.S. based branch of Bullet Club in Impact Wrestling in 2021

On the July 19 tapings for Impact Wrestling, Chris Bey took on Juice Robinson and after the match, Jay White gave Bey a Bullet Club shirt and the two threw up the "Too Sweet", making Bey the first African American wrestler and first active Impact star to join Bullet Club.[293] Throughout the summer of 2021, Hikuleo and El Phantasmo would begin making frequent appearances in Impact Wrestling, and by fall would ultimately become listed as members of the Impact roster,[294] establishing them and Bey as a U.S. based branch of the stable in Impact Wrestling.[295] By late January, Jay White would return to Impact Wrestling and bring the G.O.D. along with him. On February 9, Jay White would walk through the Forbidden Door to AEW by seemingly helping The Elite take out Trent Barreta and Rocky Romero. At Impact Wrestling's No Surrender PPV, Jay White attacked G.O.D, costing them the Impact World Tag Team Championship and kicking them out of Bullet Club, while reinstating Gallows and Anderson.

On February 25, 2023, Ace Austin and Chris Bey, better known as ABC, defeated the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) to capture the Impact World Tag Team Championships and bringing them back to Bullet Club.[296] On July 15, at Slammiversary, Austin and Bey lost the tag titles to Subculture in a four-way tag team match also involving Rich Swann and Sami Callihan, and Moose and Brian Myers, thanks to The Rascalz interfering in the match.[297] On July 20, during the rematch, The Rascalz once again cost Austin and Bey their rematch against Subculture for the Impact World Tag Team Championships. However, on IMPACT 1000, Austin and Bey were involved in a Feast or Fired match where Bey secured one of the cases which contained a Impact Tag team Title shot whenever they feel like it. On October 5, Impact announced that Bey and Austin would invoke this opportunity at Bound for Glory for the Impact World Tag Team Championship against The Rascalz. At Bound for Glory, Austin and Bey defeated The Rascalz to become Impact Tag Team Champions for the second time in their careers.[298]

2022

At Wrestle Kingdom 16 Night 1, Evil defeated Tomohiro Ishii for the NEVER Openweight title, becoming a double champion again.[299] At Night 2, Kenta lost the IWGP United States Heavyweight title back to Hiroshi Tanahashi.[300][301] On February 19, Anderson and Gallows would rejoin the Bullet Club. On March 13, Evil defeated Tonga. Following this match, Evil and the rest of Bullet Club attacked G.o.D. and Jado, officially ejecting them from the group as a result, and siding with White. This would also break up Jado and Gedo's 33-year-long tenure as a tag team. At Wrestling Dontaku 2022, Juice Robinson attacked Hiroshi Tanahashi post-match, becoming the newest member of the faction. At the Best of the Super Juniors 29 final on June 3, 2022, during a 6 man Tag Team match between Bullet Club and the United Empire, Ace Austin ran down to the ring and distracted Aaron Henare by pulling out an ace of spades playing card out of his sleeve that said "Bullet Club" on it which led to El Phantasmo hitting Henare with the "Sudden Death" superkick for the win. After the match, Ace Austin threw up the too sweet with Phantasmo, Fale, and Chase Owens, signifying his initiation into the faction. At Dominion 6.12 in Osaka-jo Hall, Fale and Owens lost the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship back to United Empire (Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb), while Juice Robinson was forced to vacate the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship due to suffering appendicitis prior to the event, Karl Anderson defeated Tama Tonga to win the NEVER Openweight Championship and Jay White defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. At Forbidden Door on June 26, 2022, Jay White retained the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship in a four-way match that also involved Kazuchika Okada and AEW wrestlers Adam Cole and Adam Page. El Phantasmo teamed up with The Young Bucks who briefly reunited with Bullet Club in a six-man tag team match against Dudes with Attitudes (Shingo Takagi, Sting and Darby Allin), which Phantasmo and the Bucks lost. At New Japan Road on July 5, the House of Torture lost the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship to Hirooki Goto, YOH and Yoshi-Hashi. At Burning Spirit on September 23, the House Of Torture regained the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship. Two nights later on September 25, Hikuleo would turn his back on Bullet Club and side with his brother Tama Tonga. On October 10, Gallows and Anderson left the Bullet Club due to signing back with WWE. However, Anderson still had the NEVER Openweight Championship in his possession, leading to disputes between the two companies. In November NJPW would run the first Tamashii events where Bad Luck Fale began forming the "Rouge Army" subgroup with the recently recruited Jack Bonza.[302]

2023

At Wrestle Kingdom 17 Night 1, Anderson lost the NEVER Openweight Championship to Tama Tonga, and White would lose the World Heavyweight title back to Okada.[303] On the February 3rd Tamashii event Lyrebird Luchi would be introduced as a new member,[304] before Caveman Ugg was recruited the following night.[305] On February 11, White lost to Hikuleo in a "Loser Leaves Japan Match" and Eddie Kingston in a "Loser Leaves New Japan Match" at Battle in the Valley on February 18, forcing him to leave Bullet Club in the process. After the match, White was attacked by David Finlay before he could address the fans one last time.[306][307] On April 16 the Natural Classics would be inducted into the Australian branch.[308]

David Finlay's leadership (2023–present)

David Finlay after defeating Tomohiro Ishii cleanly with Gedo by his side.

At the NJPW 51st Anniversary Show, after David Finlay defeats Tomohiro Ishii in the first round of the New Japan Cup, Gedo cut a promo after the match saying, "Bullet Club needs a rebel", making Finlay the new leader of Bullet Club.[309] El Phantasmo wasn't happy about this because he said all of the members of Bullet Club had agreed to not attack Jay White and kick him from Bullet Club. El Phantasmo openly opposed Finlay and at Sakura Genesis, Finlay and Kenta would turn on Phantasmo after the match, removing him from Bullet Club. At Capital Collision, Finlay would replace El Phantasmo with Clark Connors. At Dominion 6.4 in Osaka-jo Hall, Dan Moloney would join Bullet Club after attacking Francesco Akira and TJP with Connors after they won IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, betraying United Empire. The same night, Alex Coughlin and Gabe Kidd would also join Bullet Club as the Bullet Club War Dogs and attack the newly crowned IWGP Tag Team and Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions Yoshi-Hashi and Goto.[310] At Destruction in Kobe, Yoshinobu Kanemaru would join House of Torture after helping Sho defeat Taichi for the KOPW Championship, betraying Just 5 Guys. On November 29, night 8 of the World Tag League, Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) would seemingly join House of Torture but would reveal it to be a trick on the following December 1st show. On December 6, Ren Narita joined House of Torture after turning on his partner Shota Umino.

Formation of Bullet Club Gold

Jay White made his debut as a member of the AEW roster on the April 5 episode of AEW Dynamite where he came to aid Juice Robinson and attacking Ricky Starks.[311] His entrance video showed the Bullet Club logo in gold, hinting that White was still in Bullet Club. Later on social media, White posted a picture of him and Robinson throwing up the stable's iconic gun taunt with the phrase "Bullet Club Black 'n Gold". The next week in a pre-taped promo, the duo declared themselves the first two members of Bullet Club Gold, establishing an official branch of the faction in AEW.[312] On the June 7 episode of Dynamite, Austin and Colten Gunn interfered to help White defeat Starks. On the June 21 episode of Dynamite, White and Robinson returned the favor helping the Gunns defeat The Hardys. The Gunns were officially inducted into Bullet Club Gold during the June 24 episode of Collision, after teaming with White and Robinson to defeat Starks, CM Punk, and FTR, subsequently nicknaming themselves the "Bang Bang Gang".[313]

Other media

In January 2016, NJPW announced a DVD chronicling the history of Bullet Club and featuring interviews with members of the stable, which was released on March 30, 2016.[314] In January 2017, it was announced that the arcade game Tekken 7: Fated Retribution would feature a variety of Bullet Club related apparel for use with all characters. The outfits would later be available in the home version of Tekken 7.[315]

Former Bullet Club members AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows started a new Bullet Club-inspired group, The O.C. (originally known as "The Club"), while in WWE. Later, original Bullet Club leader Finn Bálor, previously known as Prince Devitt, would form Bálor Club with Anderson and Gallows. In 2022, Styles and Bálor joined forces in an informal incarnation of The Club also including Liv Morgan, during a feud with The Judgment Day. Later, Bálor would join Judgement Day, as well as attempt to recruit Styles, who rejected the offer; this led to Styles reconstituting The O.C. with Anderson and Gallows, who later added "Michin" Mia Yim to its ranks.[316]

The Elite, originally a Bullet Club sub-group, became an independent entity in NJPW before its members ultimately left the promotion, later appearing for AEW and Impact. In AEW, the group was briefly referred to as "Bullet Club" following the additions of Don Callis, Anderson, and Gallows to the group, but when members of the Japanese-based Bullet Club voiced displeasure at this, the group was rebranded to The Super Elite. The Super Elite later expanded to include Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly, after which the group became known as The Undisputed Elite, a nod to the WWE group The Undisputed Era.[317] Gallows, Anderson, and Fish[318] have since left AEW and the group has gone back to The Elite moniker.

Another group which was originally a tag team within Bullet Club is Guerrillas of Destiny or short G.O.D.. The team originally consists of Tama Tonga and his brother Tanga Loa. They were kicked out of Bullet Club by Jay White in February 2022 and were followed by former Bullet Club mate Jado. In September 2022 their younger brother Hikuleo left Bullet Club and joined them. In July 2023 they invited El Phantasmo who was kicked out by new Bullet Club leader David Finlay to join them, which he accepted.

Notes

  1. ↑ Although NJPW does not, some promotions do occasionally use the definite article as part of the stable's name.[1][2][3]
  2. ↑ Bad Luck Fale also competes in Tamashii, NJPW's Australasian affiliate, as the head of their Bullet Club subgroup.
  3. ↑ Finlay also competes on Strong, as the head of the U.S.-based Bullet Club subgroup with the exception of Bullet Club Gold.
  4. 1 2 Although not full-fledged members of Bullet Club, Mao & Pieter have frequently accompanied Yujiro Takahashi to the ring, oftentimes dressed in Bullet Club gear.
  5. ↑ Bey's recruitment into Bullet Club did not air until August 8, 2021.
  6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 This member never officially left the stable. The date represents their final appearance as a member.
  7. ↑ Formerly[319] billed as Leo Tonga and currently billed as Hikuleo by NJPW[320]
  8. ↑ The name has been written as both Tanga Roa and Tanga Loa. NJPW originally used the spelling Roa,[321] but have since switched to Loa.[322] CMLL used the spelling Roa, while ROH has used both Loa and Roa.[323][324][325]
  9. ↑ Mao was one of Yujiro Takahashi's recurring valets at the time of his entry into Bullet Club. This date is not necessarily indicative of her first appearance with the group.
  10. ↑ Mao's appearances are not well documented. This may not be her final appearance Bullet Club, but is an estimate.
  11. ↑ Devitt is a three-time former champion, but his first two reigns pre-date the formation of Bullet Club.
  12. ↑ Cody, Omega and Scurll were also allowed to defend the title under Bullet Club Rules. However, only Page and The Young Bucks were recognized as official champions.[356][357]
