Tonga and Anderson, albeit working in different promotions, have a lot of history together. At Wrestling Dontaku 2013, Anderson lost a match to Hiroshi Tanahashi, followed by which Tonga, Bad Luck Fale, and Prince Devitt (Finn Balor) came down to the ring and attacked the victor. The quartet went on to form a stable with Devitt being the leader, and named it "Bullet Club".
Devitt later signed a contract with WWE. Anderson, along with Luke Gallows, also made their WWE debut on the April 11, 2016 edition of Monday Night RAW, and are currently a part of "The O.C.", alongside AJ Styles.
