Triple H subtly rejected any mentions of legendary non-WWE faction, says former champion: "Are we actually going to go there?"
WWE has been known to avoid mentioning wrestlers and factions not in the company, especially during the previous regime. While speaking to Fightful, former WWE star Karl Anderson revealed a conversation with Triple H where he rejected the idea of mentioning the Bullet Club.
The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) were released by WWE in February. After getting released by the Stamford-based promotion, they announced their return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling in May.
Karl Anderson recalled a conversation with Triple H in which he discussed using references to the original Bullet Club. As revealed to Fightful by Anderson, Triple H asked them not to mention the NJPW faction and not use the finger gun gesture that was made famous by the group.
It was reported that the Good Brothers were never outright told that they could not say "Bullet Club". However, they revealed that there was one time when they mentioned "Bullet Proof" and Triple H replied with:
"Are we actually going there?"
While the Stamford-based promotion has mentioned Bullet Club multiple times previously, they still avoid using any gestures associated with the original Bullet Club. Fans are looking forward to seeing the Good Brothers back in NJPW.
