Bennett and Taven as IWGP Tag Team Champions
Mike Kanellis is no stranger to New Japan Pro Wrestling and he sure isn't any stranger to the Bullet Club. Prior to his arrival in WWE, Kanellis had worked under Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and NJPW and made quite the name for himself in the Pro Wrestling world.

During his tenure with ROH, Kanellis, then going by the name of Mike Bennett, competed for NJPW, while he represented The Kingdom faction alongside his wife Maria and Matt Taven. The duo of Taven and Bennett entered the 2014 World Tag League and left an everlasting impression in Japan.

The following year, at the Invasion Attack pay-per-view, Taven and Bennett won the IWGP Tag Team Championships when they defeated the Bullet Club duo of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to win the titles.

Throughout their stint in NJPW, The Kingdom's pairing was involved in a feud against the Bullet Club and also faced the likes of AJ Styles and The Young Bucks in ROH.
Mike certainly has developed quite the chemistry with The Good Brothers throughout the years, and I'm pretty sure fans wouldn't mind seeing Anderson and Maria together under the same faction.
