Cody Rhodes: Bullet Club Was Cool With Finn Balor And AJ Styles, But They Weren't Printing Money. I Joined And It Made Money

Bullet Club was founded in 2013 when Finn Balor (Prince Devitt in NJPW) aligned with Tama Tonga, Bad Luck Fale, and Karl Anderson in NJPW.

Over the years, the group has seen many different leaders with the Balor era paving way to the AJ Styles era and then Kenny Omega.

Cody Rhodes may or may not have been considered a Bullet Club leader during Omega's time as the ace of the Club.

"You know what I've come to realize about the Bullet Club? I talk with AJ and Finn about this all the time. Bullet Club was so cool when Finn Balor was doing it. So cool when AJ Styles was doing it, but they weren't like printing money. It wasn't the money making enterprise. I joined and it did start making money. However, it was the least cool thing ever. I realized I was the commercial Bullet Club. That's why I leaned into it a little at the end. When I look at the leaders of the Bullet Club, I don't mind when people get into these heated arguments over how awful I was for it because we were doing well," Cody stated on his What Do You Want To Talk About? podcast.

Cody was part of Bullet Club alongside Omega and the Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson), who were well established in NJPW.

Elsewhere during the podcast, Cody discussed producing a WWE event. You can find his comments here.
