5 Released WWE Superstars who could be recruited by the Bullet Club

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the globe, WWE decided to release multiple Superstars from the company, as the likes of Rusev, EC3, Heath Slater, Sarah Logan, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson among other notable names were all let go from their contracts.

In response to the departure of Gallows and Anderson, Bullet Club OG Tama Tonga took to Twitter and sent out a tweet, teasing the possibility of a potential reunion with The Good Brothers. Prior to signing with WWE, both Gallows and Anderson were vital members of the Bullet Club and competed as the primary tag team of the faction.

Well, it wasn't just Superstars that WWE decided to release on the day but the company also let go of veterans such as Kurt Angle, Lance Storm, Hurricane Helms, and Fit Finlay.

Similar to Tama Tonga, current Bullet Club leader Jay White also offered WWE veteran Fit Finlay a spot in the Bullet Club. 'Switchblade' took to social media and wrote that there is indeed a place for the Irishman in the BC and added that he will make the latter proud.

The former WWE United States Champion also had an interesting response to White, as he played along and seemed quite fascinated by the offer that was presented to him by the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion.

Shifting gears to the bigger picture, some of the names who were released by WWE last night would definitely fit right into the Bullet Club and would surely add their own unique element to the all-gaijin faction.

The group currently consists of some of the finest wrestlers on the planet including White, El Phantasmo, and KENTA, whereas, veterans such as Gedo, Jado, and Haku are also representatives of the group.

With that being said, here are the five names who I feel would fit right into the Bullet Club and should join the faction once New Japan Pro Wrestling gets back on schedule.

#5 Fit Finlay

Another Irishman in the Bullet Club?

Fit Finlay is a veteran of the Pro Wrestling business and is considered as one of the toughest men to ever step foot into the wrestling ring. With Jay White himself offering Finlay a spot in the Bullet Club, maybe it is indeed time for the faction to recruit the services of another Irishman.

With Fit's son Dave Finlay also being a part of the present-day NJPW roster, chances of Fit being reunited with his son in Japan could be a possibility at this stage. And maybe we could also witness another experienced campaigner in the form of Finlay don the black-and-white of The Bullet Club along with Gedo, Jado, and Haku.

#4 Mike Kanellis (w/ Maria Kanellis)

Bennett and Taven as IWGP Tag Team Champions

Mike Kanellis is no stranger to New Japan Pro Wrestling and he sure isn't any stranger to the Bullet Club. Prior to his arrival in WWE, Kanellis had worked under Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and NJPW and made quite the name for himself in the Pro Wrestling world.

During his tenure with ROH, Kanellis, then going by the name of Mike Bennett, competed for NJPW, while he represented The Kingdom faction alongside his wife Maria and Matt Taven. The duo of Taven and Bennett entered the 2014 World Tag League and left an everlasting impression in Japan.

The following year, at the Invasion Attack pay-per-view, Taven and Bennett won the IWGP Tag Team Championships when they defeated the Bullet Club duo of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to win the titles.

Throughout their stint in NJPW, The Kingdom's pairing was involved in a feud against the Bullet Club and also faced the likes of AJ Styles and The Young Bucks in ROH.

Mike certainly has developed quite the chemistry with The Good Brothers throughout the years, and I'm pretty sure fans wouldn't mind seeing Anderson and Maria together under the same faction.

#3 Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Return of The Good Brothers?

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were two of New Japan Pro Wrestling's finest and offered a lot to the promotion's tag team division.

During their NJPW stint, Gallows & Anderson won the IWGP Tag Team Championships on three different occasions and are also former World Tag League Champions.

The Good Brothers have also competed in all of New Japan's major events, including Wrestle Kingdom, as they eventually signed for the WWE in 2016 and marked their departures from the Bullet Club and NJPW, in general.

There is certainly no surprise to the fact that if Gallows and Anderson are to return to Japan, then they would be welcomed with open arms by Tama Tonga and co.

And, fans have also been hoping to witness an NJPW return for The Good Brothers, so maybe, this finally might be the time for Anderson and Gallows to reunite with their Too Sweet squad.

The Bullet Club is currently filled up with some of the best talents from all across the globe and adding another tag team to the group's ranks would add a lot more depth to the faction.

#2 Lio Rush

Lio Rush in the Bullet Club would be money!

New Japan Pro Wrestling's Jr. Heavyweight division is absolutely stacked right now and is filled with some of the finest Professional Wrestlers from around the globe. Led by the likes of Will Ospreay, Hiromu Takahashi, and Dragon Lee, the New Japan Jr. Heavyweight Division is no stranger to producing some absolutely world-class matches throughout the years.

Speaking of the Jr. Heavyweight Division, the Bullet Club currently also has two of the finest cruiserweights in their ranks, in the form of El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori.

The Bullet Club pairing recently enjoyed a lengthy reign as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, and there is certainly no doubt in the fact that both ELP and Ishimori are also brilliant as singles competitors.

Adding another Jr. Heavyweight in the ranks of the Bullet Club would allow either ELP or Ishimori to focus more on their singles career and that's where Lio Rush comes in.

Rush has always proved himself to be one of the most athletic Superstars to have stepped foot in the wrestling business, and the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion could easily find his rhythm in the Jr. Heavyweight Division.

The Man of the Hour is completely capable of working as a heel and would fit right into the Bullet Club. A tag team pairing with either Ishimori and ELP could work out in the initial stages for Rush and could eventually lead to him breaking out as a singles competitor.

#1 Rusev

Rusev could be the perfect addition to the Bullet Club

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Rusev and the gimmicks he had to undergo for all these years in WWE, there isn't a doubt in the fact that 'The Bulgarian Brute' is one of the absolute best when it comes to in-ring performances. And every time Rusev has stepped foot into the squared circle, he has delivered.

Now some of you might disagree with me on this one but I genuinely feel that if there's any gimmick that would work for Rusev in New Japan Pro Wrestling, it's definitely as a member of the Bullet Club.

There are no questions in regards to Rusev's capability as a heel and considering his in-ring style, the former WWE United States Champion would fit into the NEVER Openweight Division.

As for the Bullet Club, the faction hasn't had a proper representative in the NEVER Openweight Division since Yujiro Takahashi was in his prime and maybe it is finally time for the Bullet Club to focus on all the divisions that NJPW has to offer.
