Is Ryback Joining Bullet Club?
Kenny Omega teases a new member on Twitter.
New Japan's Bullet Club may be the most popular stable in the world right now, with a presence in Ring of Honor and an influence - albeit unofficial - in WWE. Now, the group is adding another top star to the roster, if a recent tweet from Kenny Omega is to be believed.
Omega's description of the star as someone who "devours all competition" suggests the new member will be none other than former WWE superstar Ryback, who left WWE in August following a highly publicized contract dispute. The current G1 Climax winner's words seem like a sure reference to Ryback's "Feed me more!" catchphrase. Additionally, Ryback has expressed an interest in working in Japan.
The Bullet Club has undergone major changes in 2016, beginning with the New Japan departures of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows. While all three men ended up in WWE as "The Club," the Japanese contingent was still undermanned. Omega stepped up as the new leader, Tonga Roa (formerly Camacho in WWE) joined to tag with Tama Tonga, and an increased profile in Ring of Honor led to the inductions of Adam Cole and Adam Page over the summer.
