WWE.com Hypes Bullet Club’s Arrival

Matt Bloom all but confirms faction's arrival...

WWE.com have published an interview with Performance Center trainer Matt Bloom where the Bullet Club to WWE rumours were addressed. The entire wrestling fraternity seems to be aware that the Club's members AJ Styles, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson - as well as former IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura - have signed deals with WWE. The NWO-inspired clan's arrival now seems a formality after WWE started running rumour posts and interviews about them on .com. Even though the group was formed after Bloom - known as Giant Bernard in the Far East - had returned to WWE, he worked with Messrs Styles, Gallows and Anderson - teaming with Anderson for three years as Bad Intentions. During the interview, Bloom touched on how Finn Balor came up with the idea one night 'with his buddies,' while he explained how their popularity is worldwide as "there are Bullet Club shirts at U.S. sporting events and U.S. wrestling events." He also made no bones about how it was time the Bullet Club members made their way to WWE. It certainly looks like the group are having those proverbial rocket boosters strapped to them before they've even made their main roster debuts. Bloom even mentioned those darn brass rings that Vince McMahon famously dangles in front of pretenders to WWE's main event picture.

"It€™s about time. WWE is the largest platform in the world to do what those guys love to do. They deserve to be here because they paid their dues, they worked really hard, and they made names for themselves. The best of the best come here to flourish. They€™re gonna take all those years of experience, hard work and dedication, and now show it to the world on an even grander scale. €œYou need to reach for that brass ring. The Bullet Club do things outside the box to continually reach for that brass ring."
Bloom then all but confirmed the group will be appearing in WWE by telling us of Balor's reaction to all the rumours of their arrival. Expect to see them in a WWE ring at the Royal Rumble, or failing that, in the weeks following the event.
"He€™s excited. He€™s stoked. Finn is doing big things on his own right now, but I€™m sure he knows that becoming the champion is difficult and staying the champion is even more difficult. He€™s got an ace in his back pocket because he might have some friends coming in that have been known to watch his back. I€™m sure that€™s very comforting for Finn Bálor."
