Jay White's time as leader of the Bullet Club has saved the faction from becoming irrelevant.

Having first burst onto the scene in 2013, it seemed the legendary New Japan stable was slowly going to fade into obscurity and lose what made it special in the first place, but White's appointment as the new leader in 2018 saved the group and has managed to keep them relevant.

The last couple of years have been rough for New Japan as a whole, and with so many big names leaving the Bullet Club in 2018, it seemed the group would struggle to reach the heights they once had, but under the 29-year-old's leadership, they have recently gone from strength to strength and could even find themselves more relevant than ever in the upcoming months.

He's Been A Worthy Replacement For Kenny Omega

In 2018, the Bullet Club had something of a mass exodus as long-term members the Young Bucks, as well as Hangman Adam Page and Cody Rhodes, left the group on their way to creating AEW, but the biggest name to leave the group was leader Kenny Omega.

Omega had been the Bullet Club's leader for two years and his departure led many to believe the Bullet Club's best days were behind them, but Jay White's appointment as the Best Bout Machine's replacement has proven to be a very wise choice. Switchblade has taken the ball and run with it and has proven himself more than worthy of a successor.

Losing a star of such significance like Omega could have been a huge blow to New Japan and the Bullet Club, especially alongside the rest of the talent leaving for AEW, but White ensured the transition to life without the Elite was as seamless as possible and, despite not featuring prominently in Japan for a while now, he has become one of the biggest stars in the entire company, something not many would have predicted several years ago.

His Ties With Impact And AEW Will Benefit Bullet Club

Having recently signed deals with Impact and AEW, White's time in the United States and his appearances with two of the biggest wrestling companies in the country has only managed to keep Bullet Club relevant and has benefited the faction.

While Bullet Club is one of the biggest stables in professional wrestling, the popular group has very rarely strayed too far from New Japan, aside from a brief stint in Ring of Honor, and White's arrival in Impact has brought an entirely new fresh set of eyes onto him and onto the stable. Recruiting Chris Bey to the group, numerous members of Bullet Club have since appeared in Impact, including G.O.D, and it has introduced the group to an audience that may have been previously unfamiliar with it.

Hell, White's actions in Impact, turning on G.O.D and removing them from the stable and bringing the Good Brothers back into the fold, will provide long-term implications on the future of Bullet Club and has shown that what happens with the group on American television matters and has high stakes.

White's arrival in AEW may also work to the group's benefit as well. Tony Khan's promotion is currently one of the hottest in the world and bringing the 29-year-old to the company and having him represent Bullet Club will continue to bring new fans to the group. With Adam Cole recruiting White and his instant association with former Bullet Club members such as the Young Bucks, and tensions sure to run high once Kenny Omega returns from his injury, it's almost guaranteed that Bullet Club will play a huge part in Switch Blade's future within the company.

Not only has White's new ventures in the United States benefited himself, but, as previously mentioned, it has brought other members of Bullet Club to America, and fans who may not have already been familiar with the group, have now been introduced to the likes of Hikuleo and G.O.D which may bring eyeballs to New Japan in itself.

Hell, the stable has even now launched its own United States branch, with White, Bey, and the Good Brothers taking up the ranks, ensuring that Bullet Club's recent resurgence and proper introduction to the more casual American audience will continue, allowing the group to flourish years after fans feared it was nearing its end.
