Every Bullet Club Member Past & Present: Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Kenny Omega

There's an argument to be made that in kayfabe terms, Kenny Omega is the most useless leader in Bullet Club history.

'The Cleaner' led the stable from New Year Dash!! 2016 onwards, as he, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson cut AJ Styles out completely. He did a solid job steering the group for a while, but problems set in soon after. A long, slow-burning storyline took hold, with Omega putting himself and The Elite above BC, sparking the ire of many a long-serving stablemate, eventually splintering the Club into two separate sub-factions. Thus, it's hard to him higher.

Omega's successes were legion, though. He ended the greatest IWGP Heavyweight Title reign of all time by toppling Kazuchika Okada at Dominion 6.9. Critical acclaim followed him whenever he stepped through the ropes. Behind the scenes, he helped oversee the global Bullet Club surge, scoring a merchandise deal with Hot Topic, pushing the brand to new levels of exposure, and attracting countless western eyes to the NJPW product in the process. His impact was undeniable, but 'The Cleaner' was booked to look like a shaky leader, and in some stablemates' eyes, an untrustworthy ally.
