WWE stars such as Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura,
AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson worked in New Japan Pro Wrestling before joining the company.
Barring Shinsuke Nakamura, all of them have been part of the Bullet Club, with Balor being the creator. Both Styles and Anderson were leaders at one point.
In a recent interview with NJPW, Kenny Omega discussed the former NJPW stars leaving for WWE, saying they stabbed NJPW in the back. This is what he said:
“You know crazy, how there’s this f***ing image where all these who stabbed you in the back, stabbed New Japan in the back; Prince Devitt, Nakamura, AJ Styles, Gallows, Anderson. You guys still praise these motherf***ers as heroes. They stabbed you in the f***ing back! Who raised this company up from the ashes? Who was the one who saved all of you peasants? It was f***ing me! That’s why I stood up on the apron and that’s why I voted for myself. I was the only one with the courage, I was the only one to f***king do it!”
