In New Japan Pro Wrestling, a new Bullet Club has formed. Jay White, Gedo, and Jado recently joined the Tongans side of the faction. At the same time, members of “the Elite” are stating they will not be putting out any further Bullet Club style T-shirts past the ones they just released.
Tama Tonga seems convinced it was members of the Elite who made comments to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter running down the promotion’s new management. He also seems convinced the Elite are on their way to WWE when their contracts expire at the end of the year.
Tama Tonga Warns Finn Balor About the Elite
It was Tama Tonga’s birthday yesterday. Fellow original Bullet Club members Karl Anderson and Finn Balor each wished him a happy birthday. Tonga then commented there might be some “OG Business” heading their way.
Much love OG senpai. Might need you to handle some OGBC business if it goes unsettled over here ??? https://t.co/brZhlr8hCV

Is This A Work?
As with some other storylines currently playing out in wrestling, it’s not clear if this is real or not. The Elite and Bullet Club are feuding in storyline but much of what has been said online seems to go beyond what is showcased on NJPW programming.
Tonga alleges it was members of the Elite who spoke anonymously to media in regards to the company.
Lol no no no you’re fine, You know I love me a little competition…just don’t run to your boyfriend Dave Meltzer crying about how it’s not fun anymore……Bitch.. ? oops https://t.co/gn2mo2vKGO
