The wrestling world is buzzing about the possibility that Bullet Club could be coming to WWE. There are rumors that WWE is going to sign Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, AJ Styles plus Shinsuke Nakamura. Anderson & Doc Gallows are members of the Bullet Club and Finn Balor of WWE NXT is a founding member of Bullet Club. AJ Styles was a member until yesterday when New Japan Pro Wrestling did a angle where Bullet Club turned on Styles.

After the beatdown by the Bullet Club, Styles got to his feet and bowed to the crowd it what really seemed like a farewell for Styles, who has competed in NJPW since 2014, and took leadership of the Bullet Club after Finn Balor left.

 

Wrestling Observer Radio reports that there were also rumors that Rocky Romero and Tama Tonga may be leaving NJPW as well, but there is no word on if they have given their notices. Tonga is the son of legend Haku/Meng.

The group reportedly informed NJPW booker Gedo that they were finishing up before WrestleKingdom 10 this morning.

No word yet on when the four will begin work with WWE but Nakamura apparently is not leaving early as he will most likely drop his title before leaving.
