Every Bullet Club Member Ranked From Worst To Best

5. AJ Styles

For my money, there was no time that Bullet Club was cooler than when AJ Styles was the leader.

Arguably the most successful leader of the group, Styles had a pair of lengthy reigns as IWGP Heavyweight Champion. No other Bullet Club leader has held the belt more than once.

Styles wasn’t as influential a leader as those who immediately preceded and succeeded him but man was he great. For many, this is where Styles cemented himself as one of this generation’s best workers.

For years he was bogged down by poor booking in TNA and here he was cut loose, wrestling many of the top names in the industry.


4. Tama Tonga

The only other remaining original member of Bullet Club, Tama Tonga is the heartbeat of the group these days.

Tama Tonga has always had a swagger about him that few can match and that swagger is very Bullet Club.

He and Tanga Loa have been tag champs a whopping seven times, making them the most successful tag team in the group’s history.

So much of the group’s attitude started with its original members and Tama Tonga is one of only two to carry that attitude into today.


3. Kenny Omega

What is there to say about Kenny Omega? Omega’s run in Bullet Club featured many of the most important storyline moments in the faction’s history.

Many of those moments involved Omega kicking AJ Styles out, his relationship with Kota Ibushi, and his rivalry with Cody Rhodes. It is undeniable that Bullet Club was at its most popular with Omega at the helm and that is for many reasons.

Omega putting on industry-shifting matches with Kazuchika Okada and Chris Jericho brought tons of new eyes onto the product. All the while, he proudly waved the Bullet Club flag.

In terms of talent, Omega would take the top spot, but there are two more who embodied Bullet Club even more than he.


2. Karl Anderson

The Machine Gun Karl Anderson. One of the original members of the group and a proper example of the attitude Bullet Club represented.

He was second in command to both Prince Devitt and AJ Styles and served as the group’s mouthpiece for much of that time.

An accomplished singles and tag wrestler, Anderson was one of the most successful members of the group during their early years.

Had he not left New Japan to go to WWE in 2016, there is a very good chance he might have taken the top spot.


1. Prince Devitt

It doesn’t get much more OG that this. The founder of Bullet Club himself, Prince Devitt takes the top spot on this list.

Now known by many more fans as WWE’s Finn Balor, Devitt was the superstar that launched the success of this cutting edge faction.

This group of foreign heels was not popular at first but eventually fans started to appreciate the nuance of their performances.

Devitt was at the center of this. Frustrated by constant disappointments and mistreatment from New Japan management, Devitt turned on Ryusuke Taguchi and aligned with Anderson, Fale and Tama Tonga.

To this day, no one has captured more of the spirit of Bullet Club than Devitt. He may have left before the faction reached its highest heights, but Bullet Club’s heart will always beat with the blood of the demon.
