What's the story?

As of 3rd May 2018, legendary Japanese faction Bullet Club celebrated their 5th anniversary together as a group.

Following the culmination of this year's Wrestling Dontaku event, several past and present members of the Bullet Club took it to the social media in order celebrate the auspicious occasion.

In case you didn't know...

The Bullet Club was initially formed in the first place at Wrestling Dontaku 2013 by current WWE superstar Finn Balor (then known as Prince Devitt), who along with the help of Bad Luck Fale, Karl Anderson, and Tama Tonga came together in order to form an all gaijin stable.

Throughout the years, the BC added several notable members to their ranks such as the likes of AJ Styles (who brought the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to the faction), Adam Cole (who brought the ROH World Championship to the group), WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, Luke Gallows and many more.

The heart of the matter

Despite the on-going leadership issues within the Bullet Club, most notably between Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes, it looks like the rest of the group is finally starting to come together, considering the fact that every member of the faction finally settled their on-going issues last night at Wrestling Dontaku after sharing a Too Sweet with each other.

Shortly after the incident, Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks took it to his official Twitter handle and posted a photo of the entire Bullet Club (without Cody and Omega) and eventually stated that the "Bullet Club is fine".

In addition, Nick also tweeted out the following, claiming that the Bullet Club's initial goal was to change the wrestling business and make it fun, which is something that they've seemingly achieved in a successful manner.

Furthermore, fellow member Marty Scurll also tweeted out the same photo of the Bullet Club with a caption that read: Happy Bullet Club Day.

Former member Karl Anderson also took it to his Twitter handle and posted the iconic photo of himself along with Balor, Fale, and Tonga sharing the first-ever Bullet Club Too Sweet at Wrestling Dontaku 2013.

Anderson additionally claimed that the Bullet Club changed the game on this very day five years ago, regardless of what people think of the faction.

Further tweets from fellow members of the group:

What's next?

Despite the issues being solved within the Bullet Club, the faction is currently still in need of a leader and it'll be interesting to note what's next for both Cody and Kenny and if either man will lead the charge for the BC.

Or will we witness a new leader in the ranks? Only time will tell.

Author's take

Seeing the Bullet Club on good terms is definitely an amazing feeling and personally, I wish that it is indeed Kenny Omega who once again sits at the top of the throne in the Bullet Club and leads them from the front.
