Looking back on his time with Bullet Club, the thing Anderson most remembers enjoying was the creative freedom. During this period of his career, Anderson would cut promos off the top of his head without having to follow any kind of script.

"[We were] able to just be who we are, and talk crap, and say anything we wanted," Anderson continued. "I remember I got a DM from Bray Wyatt, messaging me like, 'This Bullet Club stuff is crazy. You guys look like you're having the greatest time of your lives.' And it's like yeah, we were. We were having a lot of fun, but we wanted to make a lot more money. We wanted to come to WWE at some point."

Balor (AKA Devitt) was the first Bullet Club member to leave NJPW for WWE, with AJ Styles replacing Balor as the leader of Bullet Club. Around the same time, the group brought in future AEW stars Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. According to Anderson, this is when Bullet Club really began to take off.

"That's when the new shirt came out and — bam. This thing exploded," Anderson said. "All of a sudden, all of us just started to feel like this is kind of crazy."

Though Anderson has been back with WWE for some time, Bullet Club still exists in NJPW and AEW with an entirely different lineup. The group's current leader is David Finlay, son of WWE producer Fit Finlay, with "Switchblade" Jay White leading the AEW branch of the faction.
