Clark Connors Feels War Dogs Were Able To Get From Out Of BULLET CLUB’s Shadow In NJPW

Clark Connors states that War Dogs were able to establish themselves.

Going into the 2026 AEW Full Gear pay-per-view, Clark Connors chatted with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp.

As the conversation moved along, Connors spoke about the War Dogs section of the BULLET CLUB faction that existed in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Connors feels the War Dogs were able to get out of BULLET CLUB’s shadow and establish themselves.

“The War Dogs were BULLET CLUB only in name. We’ve said that before and we’ll continue to say that because it was one of those things that they wanted us to do. They wanted us to keep BULLET CLUB around because it sells a lot of merch but you know what also sells a lot of merch? The War Dogs, and by the end of that whole thing, people forgot about BULLET CLUB. We were the number one merch sellers for a long time out there in Japan, just being the War Dogs. So, coming over here… we made our names for ourselves over there so we wanted to spread the gospel here so, I think we did a pretty good job to start out if you looked at how we’ve been doing so far this year, so, we’re gonna keep it going.”

In early 2026, Connors, David Finlay and Gabe Kidd made the move from NJPW to All Elite Wrestling and have been under contract with the company coming up on a full year.
