There's wrestling stables, then there's The Bullet Club. In 2013, founding members Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, Karl Anderson and the man we now know as Finn Bálor, all banded together to form The Bullet Club. Since that time, this pure heel stable of New Japan's baddest villains has continued to grow into the most menacing faction on earth.
In 2014, at NJPW Invasion Attack, AJ Styles surprisingly aligned himself with The Bullet Club when he attacked then IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. It was only then, after much speculation of his signing, that he let the wrestling world know that not only was he NJPW's newest signee, but he was in full heel mode as he became the newest Bullet Club member. By the end of 2015, AJ was the official leader of The Bullet Club and would remain in that capacity until he left for the WWE.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
