Is Bullet Club the most successful faction in wrestling history?

By Scott Keith on 9 April 2024

Kind of stole this from Reddit, but it got me thinking: is Bullet Club the most successful faction in wrestling history based on sheer accomplishments?

Devitt was NXT Champ and first Universal Champion, followed by AJ, who was successful before joining and has had a solid WWE run. Kenny Omega kind of speaks for himself, but had runs with the IWGP title and AEW title, along with Impact, AAA, etc. (and a tag title run, too). Jay White's AEW run has been lackluster, but he was a star in NJPW, and those are just the first four leaders.

Cody is now the top guy in WWE, while Adam Page was AEW champ. Adam Cole had success in NXT and has been a featured player in AEW. The Young Bucks are what they are. I'm not a fan, but the Good Brothers have had success, and reports are Tama Tonga is headed to WWE to join the Bloodline stuff.

That's even just the actual in-ring success. The merchandise sales are huge and we have AEW because of it, too.

Kind of long-winded, but where do they rank among most success groups in your mind?

Pretty high. The nWo and Four Horsemen obviously remain the gold standard, but you make a good case for the Club here. You can put them up there with DX in a solid tie for third, I'd say.
