AJ Styles' run with The Bullet Club was iconic and historic for many reasons. The Phenomenal One was the first superstar to bring the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to The Bullet Club and also led the faction from the front after Prince Devitt's departure.

During his run with the faction, Styles put together some of the absolute best matches of his career. His bouts with Minoru Suzuki, Kota Ibushi, and Shinsuke Nakamura are often regarded as some of the best matches in NJPW history.

Overall, Styles' impact on The Bullet Club was absolutely massive. His incarnation of the faction also remains quite popular within the pro wrestling fanbase.


#2. Kenny Omega revolutionized The Bullet Club

Kenny Omega's leadership of The Bullet Club left fans divided. Many have argued that Omega was the reason why The Bullet Club didn't feel like the faction it once used to be. However, a majority also believe that Omega's leadership elevated the group and took them to a new level, especially in the USA.

Omega's introduction to The Bullet Club was absolutely spot on. The former DDT sensation joined the group as the newest junior heavyweight representative and immediately won the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title.

But being under the command of AJ Styles and co. at the time, Omega slowly decided it was time for him to be the primary member of the group. In 2016, The Cleaner turned his back on Styles and kicked The Phenomenal One out of The Bullet Club, immediately after pinning Shinsuke Nakamura.

Omega then began his journey from The Cleaner to The Best Bout Machine. A journey that saw him win the IWGP Intercontinental Title, the IWGP US Title, and lastly capture the IWGP Heavyweight Title.

However, Omega's alignment with The Elite saw him get booted from The Bullet Club by the faction's other members. Nevertheless, one certainly cannot argue with the fact that The Best Bout Machine had a huge role in the development of The Bullet Club.
