WWE makes it a point to not directly reference much that happens outside its ring, usually to the chagrin of fans who are aware of wrestling beyond their walls. One such example is The Bullet Club, an influential faction with a legacy that runs straight through All Elite Wrestling. But WWE has important pieces in BC lore on its roster. AJ Styles and Finn Balor may never take that name, but the path is laid for a partnership between the two. If WWE was to create its own iteration of “Bullet Club” here are three names that would fit into the group.

Balor joined WWE in 2014 and Styles did the same soon after in 2016. It’s amazing to think they’ve spent that much time in WWE and have only had one match against each other. In 2017 they had a last-minute match when illness ravaged the TLC PPV. They put on an 18-minute classic, one of the best matches that year. WWE hinted at their linked histories, but nothing serious has come since.

Now, they are seemingly a tag team in the making. Judgement Day is their first foil, and with Edge talking about adding members to his faction, Styles and Balor should do the same with their budding group.

Shelton Benjamin

While Shelton Benjamin never joined Bullet Club during his stint in New Japan, he should have been one of the members the group picked up in its early days. Back in WWE, he’s a grizzled veteran that immediately makes any group better. He had the perfect spot as a part of The Hurt Business, but as WWE does, they split that group up without any true plan for him and Cedric Alexander. He appears sporadically on WWE Raw and Main Event, but there’s clearly nothing planned long term.

Bringing him in as a member of BC would be an interesting addition to the group because Benjamin brings so many things. This could be the shift for him that helps build to another interesting run at this point in his career.

Liv Morgan

With Judgement Day adding Rhea Ripley to the group, it is only a matter of time before there’s a six-person, inter-gender match with Liv Morgan added to Styles and Balor. They left her hanging while Ripley picked her apart on Monday, but that shouldn’t stop them from forming an alliance with their best interests in mind.

Morgan continues to improve, looking better each time she’s given the opportunity to take part in a big match. The company continues to take a start-and-stop approach by pushing Morgan as a main event star. Giving her a brief run as a member of a WWE-edition of The Bullet Club would be a great way to keep her active in an important angle on the show.

T-Bar/Dominik Dijakovic

First, change T-Bar back to his NXT name of Dominik Dijakovic. The name of T-Bar has too much of the stench from RETRIBUTION and Dijakovic needs the opportunity to be washed clean of it. Adding him as a big man member of The Bullet Club would be a breath of fresh air to an individual that needs it at this point in his main roster run. Dijakovic would be an interesting heavy in this position and doing so could add a boost to his position in the company.
