Outlandish Theory: 5 Signs WWE Are Hatching A Bullet Club Takeover

3. All Those Bullet Club T-Shirts/Bálor Club

In a much more straightforward world than WWE's, seeing wrestling fans wearing popular wrestling t-shirts on TV wouldn't be anything to examine. The Bullet Club's shirts are wildly popular, so it's not a surprise people want to be seen in public with them. What is a surprise though are the number of BC shirts and signs visible on core WWE programming.

No episode of Raw or SmackDown can whizz past recently without at least one featured shot of a Bullet Club shirt. Once again, WWE just pursued legal action against members of that group, so it wouldn't be a stretch to impose a blanket ban on any Bullet Club merch for the time being. Don't forget, this is a company that has previously been blamed for banning CM Punk shirts from live events, so it's not a preposterous thought.

Further, one of the top stars in the company strolls around promoting 'Bálor Club' t-shirts with a similar design motif to the Bullet Club ones in the stands. It seems a bit fishy that WWE would let so much BC intellectual property appear on screen (and even mimic it) at major shows.
