7 AEW stars Finn Balor is friends with in real life – The bridge between The Elite and Bullet Club

#3-4. Finn Balor formed The Bullet Club with AEW regulars Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson (The Good Brothers)

Finn Balor and The Good Brothers go back a long way. Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson are signed to IMPACT Wrestling, but the two have become regular features on AEW.

Balor had an illustrious career in NJPW where he met Gallows and Anderson. Together, the three came up with one of the most iconic factions, The Bullet Club.

Balor spoke to WWE about how The Bullet Club came to life. He revealed that all the members involved became great friends during their time in Japan.

“The Bullet Club was essentially in existence long before it was ever onscreen. Myself and Karl Anderson were best friends in and out of the ring. Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale were the other foreign wrestlers in New Japan. Essentially we lived together, traveled together, ate together, drank together and spent four years being in each other’s company. We were closer to each other than we were to our own families, due to the fact that we were in a foreign country and all going through the same issues of living in a non-English speaking country. That’s an incredible cultural contrast to where we came from. We were literally best friends.”

WWE fans have seen Balor team up with Gallows and Anderson for some time. The IMPACT World Tag Team Champions are helping out The Elite in AEW today.

The Prince could sign with the promotion to reunite with his former partners now that The Good Brothers are appearing in AEW.
