Rocky Romero has no interest in joining Bullet Club, especially in its current iteration.
Bullet Club has been a dominant faction in New Japan Pro-Wrestling for the last decade and the lineup in the group always changes. Leadership and member changes have marked new eras for both the faction and the promotion as a whole.
Rocky Romero is a prominent member of the CHAOS faction and in a new interview with Sean Ross Sapp, he revealed he has no interest in joining Bullet Club and doesn't believe the current era is for him.
"No. I don’t think, especially its current version of Bullet Club, I don’t think that there’s a spot for me at all," he said. "I feel like the position that I’m at just makes it a lot easier for a lot of things to happen, especially for the stuff I do backstage. So if I turned complete heel and joined Bullet Club, I feel like that would make things a little more difficult for me. I like the spot that I’m in."
However, just because he has no interest in joining Bullet Club, it does not mean that he doesn't enjoy being a heel performer. Rocky spoke about how much he has enjoyed embracing his more villainous side when competing for CMLL throughout the year.
"I do love being a heel. I’m going over to CMLL this year and really getting to explore that side, ‘cause it’s been so long, has been awesome for me and creatively, especially personally it’s been getting to do a bunch of things that I’ve always wanted to do or had ideas to get to flex and do that. Like making a music video and going in on Volador, talking crap about Mascara Dorada. I’ve loved the stuff that I’ve done in CMLL this year so much. It’s obviously the best singles stuff I’ve done, for sure, and maybe some of the best work I’ve ever done really, honestly," he said.
Elsewhere in this interview, Romero spoke about Mercedes Mone and her current status with NJPW. Learn more here.
Also, even though Rocky believes that Bullet Club wouldn't be a good fit for him, he feels that New Japan could be a good fit for Ronda Rousey. Read more here.
