Ever since the group's inception at The G1 Specials in San Francisco, The Bullet Club Firing Squad has been making the news headlines for all the controversial reasons, thanks to their newly adapted notorious reputation.
Led by the the Tongan trio of Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa, The Firing Squad has definitely made a huge impact in New Japan Pro Wrestling so far, given the fact that the group has already put the entire Bullet Club Elite on notice, following a gruesome beatdown at The Cow Palace earlier in the year.

Following the recent conclusion of the G1 Climax 28, we now know for sure that The Bullet Club Firing Squad currently imposes four top members, as top NJPW Jr. Heavyweight Taiji Ishimori has sided himself with the group. Ishimori, who is also recently joined by the likes of Gino Gambino and Hikuleo (who is also expected to side his Tongan brothers), will be looking forward to helping The Firing Squad "cleansing" The Bullet Club and take it way back to their OG days.
However, in order to win a war, you must have proper associates siding with you and as far as The Firing Squad is concerned, the group is currently a bit short in terms of numbers, given the fact that The Bullet Club Elite already consists of eight members in their ranks.
With that being said, here are five potential superstars who could join The Firing Squad in the near future and eventually help the likes of Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale in order to conquer The Bullet Club Civil War.
#5 Jeff Cobb
The Bullet Club Elite's connection with Ring of Honor is definitely a very strong ground base, given the fact that the group is mostly exclusive to the ROH brand (other than the likes of Kenny Omega, Yujiro Takahashi, and Chase Owens). The Firing Squad, meanwhile, is completely based on NJPW and have all their members working exclusively for the Japanese promotion instead.
Therefore, there is certainly no surprise to the fact that The Firing Squad could use a helping hand from the ROH brand if their plan is to indeed "clean" The Bullet Club and what better way to start other than recruiting the services of a living monster in the form of new ROH signee Jeff Cobb.
The former Lucha Underground Champion is an absolute machine and could very well take out the entire Elite Team all by himself. Imagine him wrecking havoc with Fale and Haku, The BC Elite wouldn't stand a chance!
#4 Sam Adonis
Throughout the years, The Bullet Club's Mexican connection has been pretty strong and the group has enjoyed the services of several top Mexican wrestlers during the initial years of the faction.
At one point, Tama Tonga was also part of The Bullet Club Latinoamerica, a group that cemented itself as one of the most dominant factions' in CMLL history and was initially kick-started by 'The Bad Boy' himself when he won the CMLL World Tag Team Championships alongside El Terrible (now a former member of The BC).
Later on, Tama also won the CMLL World Tag Titles with Rey Bucanero and what better way to reignite The Bullet Club's relationship with CMLL other than having one of the company's hottest star align himself with the faction.
Sam Adonis has already developed a pretty notorious reputation in the world of Pro Wrestling thanks to his pro-Donald Trump gimmick which has been super over in Mexico thus far and in the past, The Guerillas of Destiny have also teamed up with Adonis in CMLL, as well.
So recruiting him in The BC Firing Squad will not only help Tama Tonga and co. but will also benefit CMLL as well.
#3 Neville
In a few recent tweets, 'The Bad Boy' Tama Tonga has been teasing a few new recruits for The Firing Squad such as the likes of WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg (who definitely isn't joining the group anytime soon) and former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville, who on the other hand, could potentially join the faction.
There is no surprise to the fact that Tama Tonga certainly has an amazing eye for talent after he recently decided to bring in Taiji Ishimori to The Bullet Club and introduced the former X-Division Champion as the new Bone Soldier. And fans shouldn't be surprised at all if Neville at some point in the near future shows up on the NJPW circuit, possibly wearing a Firing Squad T-Shirt.
If Neville does join NJPW and The Firing Squad, then the former 'King of The Cruiserweights' could very well be the new heavyweight representative for The Firing Squad or could form a devastating Jr. Tag Team with the equally talented Taiji Ishimori.
Either way, the options are endless for Neville in NJPW!
#2 Cody Rhodes
Yes, Cody Rhodes was indeed one of the casualties in the gruesome Firing Squad beatdown at The G1 Specials in the US and he is also one of the most prominent members of The Bullet Club Elite, but that doesn't mean that 'The American Nightmare' isn't capable of continuing with his own mind games in this BC Civil War.
Cody's heated feud with Kenny Omega is certainly one the purest examples' of the heel-ish mannerisms the former is capable of and seeing him compete as a babyface definitely doesn't sit well with a particular portion of the NJPW audience.
With that being said, Cody joining The Firing Squad at some point in the future will be huge swerve in this on-going BC Civil War, given the fact that the former ROH World Champion initially turned down Tama Tonga's offer to join The Firing Squad at the Cow Palace.
Imagine the reactions if Cody actually does turn out to be the mastermind behind The Firing Squad!
#1 Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows
Prior to their arrival to the WWE in 2016, the duo of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were a force to be reckoned with in New Japan Pro Wrestling, where the two men absolutely wreaked havoc and destroyed every single challenger who dared to step in their paths.
With the proper back-up of The Bullet Club, the duo of Gallows and Anderson captured the IWGP Tag Team Championships on three different occasions and established themselves as one of the greatest tag teams to step foot in NJPW.
However, since signing with the WWE in 2016, Gallows and Anderson haven't had the privilege of enjoying the immense amount of success they previously had in New Japan Pro Wrestling and despite winning the Raw Tag Team Titles on a solitary occasion, it is fair to say that The Good Brothers have been heavily misused under the WWE banner.
With Anderson and Gallows' current WWE contracts soon set to expire, chances are the team of 'Guns and Gallows' could very well once again reign supreme in NJPW by 2019 itself.
And throughout these past few months, there has also been a lot of teasing regarding a potential Bullet Club reunion as well and if a reunion is indeed on the cards, then expect Anderson and Gallows to side with their fellow OG Brothers Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale in this Bullet Club Civil War.
