#2 Bullet Club Civil War brewing
During this G1 Climax 30, the competitor who had the most engaging character work in and out of the ring had to be "Switchblade" Jay White. In what he coined the Jay1, White put on entertaining matches night in and night out. However, he did some of his best work on the mic in post-match interviews. The key here was the simmering dissension among the Bullet Club.
Following EVIL's win over KENTA in the G1 Climax 30, Jay White made sure to make acknowledge that he didn't appreciate the way EVIL treated his fellow Bullet Club member. The following day after his G1 Climax 30 match, EVIL said that not everyone falls in line with Switchblade. This led to Day 13 in the A Block where Jay White faced Yujiro Takahashi. Thinking that his stablemate would just lay down for him, White was surprised when Yujiro not only did not. Instead, he used low blows and other dirty tactics to try to achieve a victory.
Switchblade pulled out the victory, but he wasn't happy with Yujiro or his manager, Gedo. The fans had to assume that this distraction caused White to fall short of winning the A Block of the G1 Climax 30, falling to Ishii on the final night. Although EVIL also came up short, the brewing civil war will continue to be a vital story in NJPW for the months to come.
