Clark Connors Says War Dogs Escaped Bullet Club Shadow in NJPW
“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.— Clark Connors
Clark Connors told Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp ahead of the 2026 AEW Full Gear event that the War Dogs subgroup only carried the Bullet Club name at the request of officials because it moved merchandise. Connors explained that the War Dogs eventually became the top merch sellers in Japan on their own merit, causing fans to largely forget about Bullet Club. He added that the group has carried that momentum into AEW this year after making a name for themselves in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
