#1. Birth of The Elite

The Elite
The Elite

The Elite was first formed in 2016 when Kenny Omega decided to turn his back on AJ Styles, kick him out of Bullet Club, and take over the leadership reign from 'The Phenomenal One'.

The original Elite trio consisted of Omega and The Young Bucks, however, as time gradually progressed, more members were added to BC who then directly became associated with The Elite.

Over the years, we've seen the likes of Cody Rhodes, Hangman Page, and Marty Scurll join Bullet Club - and eventually create The Elite sub-group within the faction. Therefore, it's safe to say that without The Bullet Club, there would be no Elite, and maybe no All Elite Wrestling, as well. If it wasn't for BC, there wouldn't be the formation of The Elite and maybe we wouldn't be graced upon with the existence of All Elite Wrestling.

The likes of Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and other members of The Elite are superstars of their own right and while they were household names in NJPW and ROH, their alignment with The Bullet Club certainly made them bigger superstars.

Not just for The Elite but Bullet Club has certainly been a huge turning point for some of the biggest names in the wrestling world, an elusive list that contains the likes of reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion, AJ Styles, NXT Champion Adam Cole, AEW's Kenny Omega, and even New Japan, and BC's current front-runner Jay White.
