NJPW G1 Climax 2018: 10 Things You NEED To Know
3. Bullet Club Is (NOT) Fine
The Bullet Club civil war took a dramatic twist at the G1 Special in San Francisco. Cody and Kenny Omega settled their beef, with 'The Nightmare' raising his stablemate's hand in victory following their IWGP Heavyweight Championship clash. Bullet Club was fine, it seemed.
And then it wasn't.
Legendary wrestling hardnut Haku and his sons, Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga, betrayed Omega and The Young Bucks. Every other BC member in attendance came out in processions. Each met the same fate, but when Cody returned, the Tongans handed him a steel chair and with it, the opportunity to finish Omega off. He declined, Haku & sons put him down, and though Kenny technically won the Club's leadership by pinning Cody, the newly-christened Firing Squad contest this.
Tama Tonga revealed after the show that the absent Bad Luck Fale made the call to strike. Their goal, he claims, is to "straight out Bullet Club, take it back, and push it forward," and this will manifest on both sides of the bracket.
Fale will face Hangman Page in block A, while Tama shall clash with Omega in B. Their issues won't be settled in the G1, but they will be pushed forward, with this writer predicting Tonga goes over Kenny, leading to an IWGP Title match on the next tour.
