Bullet Club is fine. It just has two potential leaders, both trending towards the finals of the G1 Climax 30. Jay White was the pre-established leader of Bullet Club coming into this year, but after he got stuck outside of Japan during the COVID-19 restart. In his absence, a new leader was chosen as EVIL would turn on Los Ingobernables De Japon, join Bullet Club, and win the New Japan Cup. He’d go on to do what Jay White & KENTA couldn’t do and beat Tetsuya Naito and secure double gold.
However, there is trouble in this. Jay White is back, and with Gedo at his side he currently sits at 10 points in this tournament in the A Block. He would have had an easy path to his last win, facing fellow Bullet Club member Yujiro Takahashi.
Yujiro Takahashi Wouldn’t Lay Down For Jay White
The plan in this match was for Takahashi to just lay down for White, give him an easy win before he strolls into the finals of the block for the good of Bullet Club. Instead, Takahashi gave a quick flurry of signature offense fo White, who hit the Blade Runner for a win, and wanted to batter Takahashi with a steel chair. Gedo stopped him, but it was clear that White was absolutely pissed by this. He’s the leader of Bullet Club, Takahashi had his role, but he was disloyal. Was this all planned, is there a conspiracy against White?
Backstage, he’d storm into the interview section, throw two chairs across the room and rant. He’d accuss Gedo of being in on all this, lord knows Gedo isn’t known for being the most loyal man in NJPW, and he did have some time when he was buddying up with EVIL. Gedo would assure White that this was not planned, to trust him as he tried to calm White down.
Takahashi came into this one 0-6, he’s eliminated. Beating White wouldn’t help Bullet Club, but White beating him does. White would ask if this is EVIL’s doing, and again Gedo would just say no, and promise White he didn’t know anything about this. Gedo agreed to talk to Takahashi, and this issue was shut down… for now.
Bullet Club Civil War Could Be Incoming
It’s been speculated that there is a Bullet Club civil war coming once again, or atleast another coup about to happen. Three times now, the leader of Bullet Club has been ousted. The Young Bucks kicked out Prince Devitt, Kenny Omega kicked out AJ Styles, and Jay White kicked out Kenny Omega. Is EVIL and the rest of Bullet Club looking to do the same to Jay White, after he brought them back to their roots and brought them success?
It’s clear that they can’t all get along, and we can assume people like Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, KENTA, Bad Luck Fale and more will stick with White, they trust him. EVIL might have most of the Bullet Club members in Japan in his back pocket after the last few months, and if true… White could be outnumbered pretty quickly. Add in a Forbidden Door full of ex-Bullet Club members rattling over in American, some Good Brothers set to return, and it could just be an interesting time in the history of Bullet Club.
Is Jay White in danger being alone in Japan with Bullet Club? Are they working against The Switchblade? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
