10 Things You Didn’t Know About Bullet Club
1. Their Current Lack Of Gold
Across their various members, Bullet Club have held every major NJPW championship throughout their lifespan. Prince Devitt was already several months into a lengthy reign as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion when he formed the stable, and the Young Bucks added further gold by becoming Junior Heavyweight tag champions shortly after.
From there, Anderson and Gallows won the heavyweight tag belts, and AJ Styles became IWGP Heavyweight Champion less than a month after debuting. Bad Luck Fale captured NJPW’s second biggest belt, the Intercontinental Title, in June 2014, and eight days later, Yujiro Takahashi completed the group’s grand slam when he became NEVER Openweight Champion.
The group’s title-winning tradition continued when Takahashi, Fale, and Tama Tonga became the second NEVER Openweight 6-man Champions in February 2016, but as of Wrestle Kingdom 11, the group are currently gold-less. The Bucks and Guerrillas of Destiny both lost their respective tag titles that night, marking this as the first time that the Bullet Club have held zero Japanese championships since forming.
Adam Cole is the current ROH Champion, but that is that for Bullet Club at the moment. Kenny Omega will likely go right back after Kazuchika Okada and the IWGP Championship, but for now, Bullet Club find themselves among the chasing pack for the very first time.
History suggests it won’t be long before they rediscover their title-winning ways, however.
