About Bullet Club in brief
Bullet Club is a professional wrestling stable primarily appearing in the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling. In the United States, the group appears most notably in Ring of Honor, and sometimes the National Wrestling Alliance. 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. In April 2014, Devitt left NJPW and was replaced in Bullet Club by American wrestler A. J. Styles. The stable continued adding members, most notably Canadian wrestler Kenny Omega, who took over its leadership in early 2016. In October 2018, Jay White took over as its fifth leader, though newest member Evil has filled in as leader due to White’s travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, they are the first of three stables to have won every championship available in N JPW. They have also held every currently active male championship in ROH. On September 25, 2017, Bullet Club appeared outside WWE’s Raw in Ontario, California, spoofing a segment from 1998-Generation X. The club has been compared to the World Championship Wrestling stable New World Order. As a way of paying homage to the nWo, members of Bullet Club began using the stable’s signature ‘Too Sweet’ hand gesture. Some, including Matt Jackson, suggested this was done due to Bullet Club’s popularity.
In August 2015, after Finn Bálor was released by WWE as Finn Blor, WWE released Bullet Club merchandise off of the first week of January 2016. On April 25, 2016, Bullet club debuted for WWE, with their former tag team member A.J. Styles’ debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble contestant, the former Bullet Club tag team of The Young Bucks and Anderson. On August 26, 2016,.

On November 2, 2017. The former WWE team of Anderson and Gallows debuted for Raw, with Anderson and Anderson as their new tag team partner, the Young Bucks. On December 1, the trio of American wrestlers joined the Bullet Club stable for the first time as members of the stable. On January 8, 2018, the stable appeared on WWE Raw as a tag team, with Styles and Anderson teaming up with Anderson to take on the team of Luke Harper and Luke Gallows in a tag-team match. In March 2015, WWE filed a trademark application for the hand gesture, but it was ultimately abandoned due to the popularity of the group. In May 2016, WWE announced it would not be trademarking the gesture.
