But hey, Cody shouldn't walk away empty-handed.

Ever since Kenny took over Bullet Club after AJ Styles and Karl Anderson left New Japan in early 2016, "The Cleaner's" dominion over the group has been tenuous. Whether it's because of his greater interest in his Elite subgroup (his clique with the Young Bucks) , or challenges from fellow gaijin Adam Cole and now Cody, Kenny has never really been the undisputed leader of Bullet Club.

Now that he's won the title and created "The Golden Elite" with the Young Bucks and Ibushi, Kenny's claim to the Club leadership is even more in doubt. At the press conference announcing the Cow Palace card, Kenny clarified that he, the Bucks, and even Cody were all still in the Club, and that everything would be settled after the match. But how well do Kenny and the Bucks fit into Bullet Club now that they're full-on babyface?

Frankly, it's time for a change in leadership. Say what you will about Cody, but he's become a superstar heel, and with the likes of him, Marty Scurll, and Hangman Page leading a rejuvenated Bullet Club, the group can reclaim its former glory.
