Bullet Club (バレットクラブ, Barettokurabu), sometimes shortened to BC, is a professional wrestling group, primarily appearing in the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). In the U.S., the group appeared most notably in Ring of Honor (ROH), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

The group was formed in May 2013, when Irish wrestler Prince Devitt turned on his 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 Jackson 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 by American wrestler A.J. Styles. The following month, Bullet Club received its first Japanese member when Yujiro Takahashi joined and helped Styles capture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The following June, Bullet Club members of also won the IWGP Intercontinental and NEVER Openweight Championships, 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, Bullet Club quickly won that as well. The stable continued adding members, most notably Canadian Kenny Omega, who took over its leadership in early 2016 when Styles, Anderson, and Gallows all left NJPW for WWE.

In January 2018, Omega and Cody entered a feud over the leadership of the stable, leading to the Civil War storyline. After Omega cemented his place as the leader in July, the Civil War storyline continued after Tonga and Tanga Loa turned on Omega, leading the stable being divided between Tonga's side the Bullet Club OG and Omega's side the Bullet Club Elite. The Elite would leave the stable in October, followed by Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi in December. Meanwhile, Jay White, who joined the stable during the storyline, took over the leadership of the stable, following the departure of Omega, with the stable being simply renamed to Bullet Club. The Elite were recognized as part of the stable, and were referred as Bullet Club Elite until January 4, 2019, with Owens and Takahashi quickly rejoining the stable, concluding the storyline.

In July 2020, the stable added EVIL, who filled in as leader due to travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, while White (along with other members unable to return to Japan) began establishing a U.S.-based branch. EVIL quickly won the 2020 New Japan Cup and brought the IWGP Intercontinental and IWGP Heavyweight Championships to the stable, meaning that Bullet Club had won everything NJPW had to offer. Despite the travel restrictions, the two branch structures remained in place as they expanded to the United States.

In March 2023, after White left NJPW, he was replaced by David Finlay, who took over the stable's leadership. Since then, the stable has seen new members, Clark Connors, who replaced El Phantasmo, Alex Coughlin and British wrestlers, Gabe Kidd and Drilla Moloney. They subsquently won the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships, while Finlay won the NEVER Openweight Championship and later the inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship two times while Kidd won the Strong Openweight Championship following Coughlin's retirement. Lee later joined the stable as part of an interpromotional rivalry in May 2024, where they formed an alliance with Pro Wrestling NOAH (NOAH)'s, Good Looking Guys (GLG), as part of a storyline rivalry with Kaito Kiyomiya and Kenoh's All Rebellion from and NJPW's Los Ingobernables de Japón stables, who were feuding with both stables, before GLG's leader Lee fully joined them in July 2024, thus becoming the first Korean member of the stable. In September 2024, most of the sub-groups of the stable were expelled from the stable, with the exception of War Dogs.

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. 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". 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. Other names considered for the group included "Bullet Parade" and "Bullet League". As of May 2016, the Bullet Club trademark is owned by NJPW. Behind the scenes, the four founding members of Bullet Club were best friends and travel partners.

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.

As Bullet Club is owned by NJPW, all wrestlers joining the stable, including those who have joined at Ring of Honor (ROH), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) events, have to be approved by NJPW booker Gedo and Dick Togo.

History

Main article: History of Bullet Club

Prince Devitt's leadership (2013–2014)

On February 3, 2013, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Prince Devitt pinned IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi in a tag team match, where he and Karl Anderson faced Tanahashi and Devitt's longtime Apollo 55 tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi. This led to a match between Devitt and Tanahashi on March 3 at NJPW's 41st anniversary event. After defeating Devitt, Tanahashi went to help his opponent up, but was pushed away by the disappointed Junior Heavyweight Champion. 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. However, this changed on April 7 at the Invasion Attack pay-per-view, when Devitt turned on Taguchi, after the two had failed to recapture the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. During the attack, Devitt was helped by the returning King Fale, who was introduced as Devitt's new "bouncer", giving him the new name "The Underboss" Bad Luck Fale and dubbed himself the "Real Rock 'n' Rolla". At the following pay-per-view, Wrestling Dontaku 2013 on May 3, Devitt and Fale attacked the now former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi. They were soon joined by Karl Anderson and Tama Tonga, with the four men announcing the formation of an all-gaijin stable named "Bullet Club".

Prince Devitt, founder and first leader of Bullet Club

On May 24, Devitt entered 2013 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he won his block with a clean record of eight wins and zero losses, advancing to the knockout stage on June 9, he defeated Alex Shelley in the finals to win the tournament, after which he proceeded to challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi. 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. 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 Jushin Thunder Liger. After successfully defending his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Gedo, 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. The rivalry between Devitt and Tanahashi culminated in a Lumberjack Deathmatch on September 29 at Destruction, where Tanahashi was victorious.

On October 25, American tag team The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) made their NJPW debut as the newest members of by entering the 2013 Super Jr. Tag Tournament and went on to become the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. On November 11, NJPW announced the participating teams in the 2013 World Tag League, where Bullet Club was represented by two teams in separate blocks; including the debuting American Doc Gallows. On December 7, Anderson and Gallows defeated Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima in the finals to win the tournament and later the IWGP Tag Team Championship on January 4, 2014, at Wrestle Kingdom 8 in Tokyo Dome. February's The New Beginning tour featured 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. 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. The stipulation, however, was never made official for their April 6 Invasion Attack 2014 match. 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 stablemates. After Taguchi defeated Devitt, the two men shook hands, ending their rivalry with each other and Devitt's association with New Japan Pro Wrestling and Bullet Club.

AJ Styles' leadership (2014–2015)

Later at Invasion Attack 2014, American wrestler A.J. Styles debuted as the newest member of the 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. 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. With 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. Also, Styles winning the IWGP Heavyweight Champion gave him the power to be the leader of the Bullet Club alongside Karl Anderson, with Styles being the guy who carried the group to success and Anderson being the mouthpiece of the stable.

Later in the month, Bullet Club took part in NJPW's North American tour, produced in collaboration with ROH. On June 21 at Dominion 6.21, Bad Luck Fale defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to become the new IWGP Intercontinental Champion. On June 29, Yujiro Takahashi brought another title over to the stable, when he defeated Tomohiro Ishii with help from his stablemates for the NEVER Openweight Championship. With the win, Bullet Club had won every title in NJPW, now simultaneously holding all four of its heavyweight titles. On November 8 at Power Struggle, Kenny Omega, who had joined NJPW at the beginning of the month, became the newest member of the stable. Omega had earlier dismissed the idea of joining Bullet Club as he did not consider a gaijin after six years of living in Japan, but now claimed he had lied and only wanted money and the title. Refusing to speak Japanese despite being fluent in the language, Omega dubbed himself "The Cleaner" with the idea of him being there to "clean up" the junior heavyweight division.

Kenny Omega's leadership (2016–2018)

Kenny Omega, third leader of Bullet Club

On January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome, was involved in five championship matches. 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. The following day, the rest of Bullet Club turned on Styles and kicked him out of the group with Omega taking over the leadership. Omega also announced his graduation from the junior heavyweight division, stating that he wanted a match with Shinsuke Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. 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". 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. 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". 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.

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. On March 12, Tonga revealed that his real-life brother Tanga Loa was the newest members of the stale, with their team being dubbed "Guerrillas of Destiny" (GOD). On August 14, Omega defeated Hirooki Goto in the finals to win the 2016 G1 Climax, becoming the first non-Japanese G1 Climax winner in history. On December 10, Cody was revealed as the newest member of the stable. Omega lost to IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 11 on January 4, 2017.

Adam Cole, who tried to become the leader of Bullet Club

Afterwards, Omega took a hiatus from NJPW to "reassess [his] future". 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. On March 11, Cole, disappointed with The Young Bucks for not having his back, for losing the ROH World Championship, 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. On May 12, Omega fired Cole from Bullet Club and gave his spot in the stable to ROH World Television Champion Marty Scurll. In the months following Wrestle Kingdom 11, Omega looked for another shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. On June 11 at Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-jo Hall, Omega and Kazuchika Okada wrestled to a 60-minute time limit draw for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. 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. The following day, Omega defeated Tomohiro Ishii in the finals of an eight-man tournament to become the inaugural IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. On August 13, Omega was defeated in the finals of the 2017 G1 Climax by Tetsuya Naito. 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.

First Civil War (2018)

Cody, member of Bullet Club that started the Civil War

On January 5, 2018, at New Year's Dash, Cody attempted to attack Kota Ibushi, when Omega came down to make the save for Ibushi, this led to tensions between Omega and Cody over the leadership of Bullet Club. On January 28 at The New Beginning in Sapporo, Omega lost the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship to Jay White. After the match, Page challenged White for a title match, but Omega stopped him and handed White his newly-won championship. Cody berated Omega for not letting Page have his moment. The remaining Bullet Club members decided to leave the ringside area to let Cody and Omega discuss their differences, but instead Cody turned on Omega and Page sided with him, before Kota Ibushi returned to the ring to save his former tag team partner. The rivalry between Cody and Omega continued throughout February and March at both ROH 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. On May 4 on the second night of Wrestling Dontaku, Bullet Club made peace with each other, leaving just Omega and Cody fighting over the leadership, celebrating the stable's five-year anniversary. On June 9, at Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall, Omega defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The following day, in a press conference, Omega confirmed that he and the Young Bucks were still a part of the Bullet Club, as well as clarifying that while Ibushi 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 on July 7 at G1 Special in San Francisco, which he won, ending their feud over the leadership.

Tama Tonga, founder and leader Bullet Club OG

Following the match, Guerrillas of Destiny and Haku dubbed as "Firing Squad" attacked Omega and The Young Bucks. Page, Scurll, Owens, and Takahashi, came out to make the save but were unable to help. Tonga offered Cody to attack Omega, but he refuse attacking Tonga instead, leading the Firing Squad to attack Cody. 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. Tonga revealed the reason behind the attack was due to division within the group. Afterwards, the stable was further divided between two groups the "Bullet Club Elite", led by Omega, who began to wrestle as face, and the "Bullet Club OG" (meaning "Bullet Club Original"), led by the Firing Squad, who represented the heel side of the stable and brought back Bullet Club's old tactics.

On October 8 at King of Pro-Wrestling, Bullet Club OG was joined by Jay White, who had turned on CHAOS leader Kazuchika Okada to join them. Soon after, Taiji Ishimori and Australian wrestler Robbie Eagles became part of Bullet Club OG. The Elite would leave Bullet Club in October, after their contracts with NJPW and ROH expired. Chase Owens, and Yujiro Takahashi left the stable in December. Members of The Elite were still recognized as part of the Bullet Club by NJPW and continued being called Bullet Club Elite until January 4, 2019, while Bullet Club OG simply returned being Bullet Club, ending the Civil War. This led to Jay White solidifying his control over the leadership of Bullet Club, becoming the stable's fifth leader.

Jay White and EVIL's leadership (2018–2023)

In December, Bullet Club entered a rivalry with CHAOS and New Japan Seikigun ("regular army"), as part of White's feud with Okada, which led to Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi teaming for the first time. White dominated all of his encounters with the "Dream Team" of Okada and Tanahashi for all of the 2018 World Tag League tour, spoilling the formation of Dream Team. At Wrestle Kingdom 13 in Tokyo Dome, White defeated Okada in their match. The following day at New Years Dash, Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi returned to the stable, after helping Ishimori and the Guerrillas of Destiny retain the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.

Jay White, fourth leader of Bullet Club

In the following months, various Bullet Club members were absent of NJPW events, due to travel issues, relating to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, leading only Gedo, Jado, Ishimori, and Takahashi to represent Bullet Club in Japan. On July 11, EVIL defeated Kazuchika Okada in the finals to win the 2020 New Japan Cup, in part due to the interference by Bullet Club, who attacked Okada, although EVIL appeared unaware of Bullet Club's involvement in the match. When Testsuya Naito came out to congratulate him on his win, EVIL attacked him, turning heel and being soon joined by the other members of Bullet Club. The following day, at Dominion in Osaka-jo Hall, EVIL defeated Naito to win the IWGP Intercontinental and IWGP Heavyweight Championships with help from his Bullet Club stablemates and Dick Togo, who joined Bullet Club and became EVIL's manager in the process. Afterwards, EVIL announced that he had taken over control of Bullet Club in Jay White's absence, with this EVIL became Bullet Club's first Japanese leader. Meanwhile, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the Guerrillas of Destiny, KENTA, Owens, and White were unable to work on NJPW events in Japan, leading them to take part in the NJPW Strong series. In a similar fashion to Kenny Omega, EVIL formed his own subgroup within the stable, "House of Torture" consisting of him, Sho, Togo, and Takahashi, with them being perceived as a darker and sinister version of Bullet Club, due to their gothic and sinister look.

EVIL, fifth leader of Bullet Club

On February 19, 2022 at Impact Wrestling's No Surrender, The Good Brothers (Gallows and Anderson) successfully retained the Impact World Tag Team Championship against the Guerrillas of Destiny after they were betrayed by White. Subsequently, the Guerillas of Destiny were kicked out of Bullet Club and White reinstated The Good Brothers as members for the first time in nearly a decade. In March, during the 2022 New Japan Cup, the group sided with White, with Tonga being kicked out of the stable, with the exception of Hikuleo, who still remained a member of Bullet Club. On May 1 at Wrestling Dontaku, White made his first Japanese appearance in NJPW after a year, attacking IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada after his match and laid him out with the Blade Runner and challenged Okada to a title match at Dominion 6.12 in Osaka-jo Hall. This was billed as the fourth "incarnation" of the stable, which was celebrating its nine-year anniversary during the event. At Dominion on June 12, White defeated Okada to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, becoming the first wrestler to hold every heavyweight singles championship available in NJPW's history. The 2022 G1 Climax, 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. In October, Gallows and Anderson left the Bullet Club due to signing back with WWE. At Wrestle Kingdom 17, on January 4, 2023, White lost the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship to Okada.

In a post-match press conference, White accepted his loss, although he blamed it on former Bullet club stablemate Hikuleo, who had attacked White and left the stable in September. This led to White challenging Hikuleo to a "Loser Leaves Japan Match", which White lost on February 11 at The New Beginning in Osaka, forcing him to leave Japan. He would also lose to Eddie Kingston at the Battle in the Valley on February 18, in a Loser Leaves New Japan match, forcing him to leave NJPW. Afterwards, he was attacked by David Finlay, on his final appearance for the promotion.

David Finlay's leadership (2023–Present)

David Finlay, sixth leader of Bullet Club

On March 5, after defeating Tomohiro Ishii in the first round of the 2023 New Japan Cup, Finlay was introduced by White's former manager Gedo as the newest member of Bullet Club, becoming the stable's seventh leader, after the departure of White. After the match, Gedo stated that "Bullet Club needed a rebel" and it did not matter that White was no longer there. Shortly after, Phantasmo began questioning Finlay's authority, which in turn, led to him being kicked out of the stable on April 8 at Sakura Genesis, after Finlay, KENTA and Ishimori turned on him. Soon after, on June 4 at Dominion 6.4 in Osaka-jo Hall, Finlay formed his own subgroup within the stable "War Dogs" with Clark Connors, Dan Moloney, Alex Coughlin and Gabriel Kidd, with Finlay further stating that in his leadership members could only bring "gold or bodies". In the aftermath of Finlay taking over Bullet Club's leadership, he claimed "War Dogs was Bullet Club, anything else was phony".

During the course of 2024 G1 Climax, the relationship between House of Torture and War Dogs started to detriorate, leading to various conflicts between both sub-group's members in their head-to-head matches. This led to Finlay, who had previously disavowed the other sub-groups within Bullet Club in the past, expelling House of Torture from Bullet Club on September 26, alongside TNA's version of the stable, only KENTA, Owens, Ishimori and Fale and his own subgroup Rogue Army were the exception of his decision. According to Finlay, “[Bullet Club] lost sight of what Bullet Club was designed to do", and "became obsessed with selling t-shirts". That isn’t [Bullet Club's] intent. Bullet Club was here to disrupt and destroy.” Finlay's leadership was perceived by many of his critics as the revival of Bullet Club.

Second Civil War (2025–Present)

On February 11, 2025 at The New Beginning in Osaka, EVIL and Dick Togo, who had previously suggested their potential departure from NJPW, entered the ring and initially implied that they were severing ties with the House of Torture. However, this was revealed to be a deceptive tactic, subsequently, the House of Torture turned against Gabe Kidd, attacking him. Following these events, EVIL declared that War Dogs would no longer be associated with the Bullet Club, leading to a feud between both sides. During the 2025 New Japan Cup, undercard matches saw the two groups fight to a streak of countouts and disqualifications, much to the rage of the War Dogs. SANADA was torn between both sides, leading War Dogs to question his loyalty, until he attacked Yuya Uemura following his match against Finlay in the tournament. However, on April 5 at Sakura Genesis, during a match for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship between both sides, SANADA turned on the War Dogs to join the House of Torture.

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. In January 2017, it was announced that the Tekken 7: Fated Retribution video game would feature a Bullet Club shirt as an alternate outfit for all characters.

Reception

The group has been compared to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) stable New World Order (nWo). As a way of paying homage to the nWo, members of Bullet Club began using the stable's signature "Too Sweet" hand gesture. The gesture, also known as the "Turkish Wolf", had supposedly been used by Anderson and Devitt behind the scenes since 2006. In March 2015, WWE filed a trademark application for the hand gesture. Some, including Matt and Nick Jackson, suggested this was done due to Bullet Club's popularity. The application was ultimately abandoned by WWE. In August 2015, after Devitt had joined WWE as "Finn Bálor", WWE released "Bálor Club" merchandise playing off Bullet Club. WWE recognized Bullet Club in the first week of January 2016, when discussing rumors about members of the stable joining the promotion, preceding A.J. Styles' debut in the WWE as a 2016 Royal Rumble contestant. In April 2016, the former Bullet Club tag team of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows debuted for WWE, with their NJPW background again being acknowledged by the company, eventually forming "The Club/The O.C." with Styles. 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 Nitro. 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. 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. They returned to use the "Too Sweet" hand gesture only during the 2017 World Tag League press conference.

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, and informally passing the torch from his stable to Bullet Club. 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". Former NJPW wrestler Matt Bloom has stated that Bullet Club's popularity helped the promotion become global.

Bullet Club has garnered a substantial amount of worldwide popularity, especially among American professional wrestling fans. 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. In 2017, Bullet Club shirts were made available at Hot Topic stores, where they also became big sellers, supposedly selling 100,000 copies in the first three months. Hot Topic executives reportedly became aware of Bullet Club after seeing the large number of the stable's shirts being worn by fans at WWE's WrestleMania 33. WWE then had to "awkwardly" tell the executives that the shirt was not one of theirs. Bullet Club's popularity in the United States has led to members of the stable working as babyfaces at events held in the country.

Related and inspired groups

Since 2016, multiple spin-offs have been made by former members in reference to the stable. In WWE, former Bullet Club members AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows started a new Bullet Club-inspired group, The O.C. (originally known as "The Club"), while in WWE. Later, original Bullet Club leader Prince Devitt, later known in WWE as Finn Bálor, 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 and would 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.

In WWE, multiple wrestlers have often teamed with former members of the stable during dark segments or live-events, most remarkably Triple H, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cody Rhodes (a former member of the stable) and Io Shirai.

The Elite originally a Bullet Club sub-group, became an independent entity in NJPW before its members ultimately left the promotion to set up the American wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In AEW, the group was briefly referred to as "Bullet Club", following the additions of then-Impact talent Don Callis, Anderson, and Gallows to the group, but was later re-branded to "The Super Elite" after members of Bullet Club in Japan voiced displeasure at sharing their name. The Elite later expanded to include Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly – former members of the WWE stable The Undisputed Era – and briefly became known as The Undisputed Elite before the stable fell apart.

Another related unit was made in AEW when former Bullet Club members, Jay White and Juice Robinson left New Japan Pro-Wrestling to join AEW. Robinson made his AEW debut by laying out Ricky Starks after distracting him with the Bullet Club entrance theme music, with Robinson wearing his famous Bullet Club T-Shirt. The two men were set to face off on the April 5th edition of Dynamite, though before the match former Bullet Club leader Jay White made his debut after signing with AEW, attacking Starks alongside Robinson, causing a no-contest and reuniting the former stablemate. Soon after on Twitter, White would post a picture of him and Robinson throwing up the iconic gun taunt with the phrase “Bullet Club Black ‘n Gold.” The next week in a pre-taped promo the duo would declare themselves the first two members of the new Bullet Club Gold, officially establishing an official branch of the faction in AEW. This led Bullet Club leader David Finlay voicing his displeasure, claming them to be a "rip-off cosplay" unit and not the "real" unit due to White's expellment from the group, with then-recent Bullet Club members Clark Connors, Alex Coughlin, Gabe Kidd and Drilla Moloney echoing their displasure of it. Meanwhile, Bullet Club Gold would get an addition with The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) joining the unit during the June 24 episode of AEW Collision, subsequently gaining the nickname the "Bang Bang Gang"; despite never being part of the main branch of the unit in NJPW. This displasure between both sides led them being later refered to the moniker Bang Bang Gang as the unit's official name to avoid confusion with the main branch of the stable in NJPW, which they were not part of.

House of Torture originally a Bullet Club sub-group, became an independent entity in NJPW in September 2024, after they were expelled from the stable by Bullet Club leader David Finlay. The stable operated within Bullet Club and consisted of veterans Dick Togo, EVIL, Sho, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and Yujiro Takahashi, alongside the younger Jack Perry and Ren Narita. The group had a much darker and sinister feel to them and usually was known for their interference angles and their excessive use throughout their matches.

Another unit which was originally a tag team within Bullet Club is Guerrillas of Destiny, which originally consisted 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 stablemate Jado. They were later joined by their younger brother Hikuleo in September 2022, after having defected from Bullet Club, and El Phantasmo in July 2023. Tonga and Loa (who went by the modified ring name of Tonga Loa) would later join The Bloodline stable, originally founded by Roman Reigns and The Usos of the Anoaʻi family, in April and May 2024. In July 2024, it was announced that Hikuleo also signed with WWE, concluding the group's dissolution with Phantasmo being the only one remaining with NJPW while Tonga and Loa began to compete under the name of The Tongans.
