Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows proved that they were, in fact, good brothers.

The Good Brothers returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling on Friday night to team up with The Young Bucks in order to take on The Bullet Club War Dogs. It was their first match since leaving WWE and the team proved that "they've still got it," as the OG Bullet Club defeated the War Dogs after a back-and-forth contest.

It was a battle of old vs. new but if the War Dogs thought this would be a case of the young lions putting down the older lions, they were mistaken.

The match began with a brawl before the bell rang, with all eight men fighting throughout the crowd and the entrance ramp. Nicholas Jackson nailed a dive from the stage and eventually the two teams found their way back to the ring.

The OG Bullet Club took turns beating up Clark Connors before hitting their signature pose. Eventually the War Dogs made a comeback and the match was officially underway. The War Dogs continued to hold the advantage, so much so that Gabe Kidd, who is never afraid to speak his mind, called The Young Bucks The Young Cucks. Gallows attacked him and hit a sitout powerbomb on Kidd.

The two teams continued to battle, but eventually The OG BC got the advantage, with The Young Bucks hitting the EVP Trigger on Gedo, followed by the Meltzer Driver (off of Gallows' shoulders). Finally, The Good Brothers got the win after hitting the Magic Killer on Gedo. Anderson got the 1-2-3 and The OG Bullet Club proved that what's old is new again.

After the match, The Young Bucks and Good Brothers attempted to "two-sweet" the War Dogs, but the dogs refused.
