While it still remains to be seen what's next in store for the majority of these released Superstars, AEW star Kenny Omega took to Twitter and posted a tweet for his former Bullet Club stablemate, Karl Anderson.

Kenny Omega and Karl Anderson's past in NJPW
Kenny Omega initially started out as a babyface gaijin Jr. Heavyweight star in New Japan Pro Wrestling. But in 2014, the former DDT sensation was recruited in the all-gaijin heel faction, the Bullet Club.
Introduced by none other than Karl Anderson, Omega went on to capture the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship for The BC and then transitioned to the Heavyweight Division. Not only did he take over the leadership reigns of the BC from AJ Styles, but he gradually went on to win the IWGP Intercontinental, IWGP United States, and IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
In 2016, Karl Anderson marked his departure from The Bullet Club when he signed for the WWE and in early 2019, Omega also departed from NJPW and signed with All Elite Wrestling.
What's next for Karl Anderson?
Karl Anderson recently teased the possibility of returning to New Japan Pro Wrestling under 'The Machine Gun' moniker once again, as the Bullet Club OG sent out a clip via his Twitter handle.
Since the clip was posted, current BC members Jay White, KENTA, Tama Tonga, and Bad Luck Fale have also taken to social media to tease the possibility of adding newer members to their faction.
As of now, it remains to be seen what's next for Anderson and if 'The Machine Gun' will return to his old stomping ground along with his long-term tag team partner Luke Gallows.
