For the past two months, rumors have been floating around about the future of the most dominant stable in recent pro wrestling history: Bullet Club. Earlier today, there was a chain of events at the New Japan Pro Wrestling “New Beginning in Nigata” show that has painted a much clearer picture on the future of Bullet Club.
Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows said goodbye to New Japan Pro Wrestling as they lost their opportunity to regain the IWGP Tag Team Championships from Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma.

WWE has been rumored to be trying to attain the rights to the name Bullet Club, but it doesn’t seem like there is much to those rumors because they recently trademarked the name Balor Club.
There’s no telling what New Japan Pro Wrestling will be doing with the Bullet Club name, but it will likely be put to rest for the time being. When searching the Twitter handle @BulletClubNJPW, which was the official Twitter of Bullet Club, it now looks like it is a fan made Twitter with no followers.
To further fuel the fire that the Bullet Club is no more, The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega have started their own stable called “The Elite.”
