Former World Champion joins the Bullet Club after shocking betrayal; helps WWE legend's son

The Bullet Club has added a new member to the faction. During the NJPW Power Struggle event, former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA betrayed Taichi and was revealed as the newest War Dogs member.

SANADA and Taichi were members of the Just 5 Guys faction. Formed at New Year Dash in January 2023, the faction was originally known as Just 4 Guys, also consisting of Taka Michinoku and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. In March 2023, SANADA quit Los Ingobernables de Japon and joined the faction.

During his time in the Just 5 Guys faction, the 36-year-old superstar won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. At Sakura Genesis 2023, he defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the title.

At Power Struggle, SANADA helped David Finlay retain the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against Taichi. The 36-year-old revealed his War Dogs shirt, as he cost his now-former stablemate the chance to win the title.

Watch SANADA's betrayal of Taichi:

The Bullet Club is currently divided into multiple sub-groups. The War Dogs subgroup was formed at Dominion 6.4 in Osaka-jo Hall in June 2023. The Finlay-led faction also consists of Clark Connors, Gabe Kidd, Drilla Moloney, Jake Lee, and manager Gedo.

Other sub-groups include the House of Torture and The Rogue Army. AEW's Bang Bang Gang and IMPACT Wrestling's ABC (Chris Bey and Ace Austin) are also part of the Bullet Club.

The faction also has neutral members, including Chase Owens, Taiji Ishimori, Kenta, and Robbie X.
