WWE.com Exclusive: Matt Bloom Addresses NJPW Stars Possibly Signing With WWE

The head trainer of NXT and former NPJW/WWE superstar Matt Bloom had a great career in Japan. When he returned to WWE in 2012, the Lord Tensai character was based off that success.

Despite that character not getting over as Bloom or WWE had planned, he had a lot of success in Japan and got to be friends with a lot of superstars that are currently in WWE, including Finn Balor and the group of New Japan Pro Wrestling stars that are rumored to be signing with the company sometime in 2016.

Since he knows better than most, WWE.com recently did an interview with Matt Bloom to discuss The Bullet Club and the rumors of AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Shinsuke Nakamura signing with WWE.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights of Bloom’s interview with WWE.com:

How was the group was created:

“I’m friends with most of those guys. The Bullet Club came to fruition after I left. It’s something that Finn Bálor came up with one night while hanging with his buddies. They all kind of made fun of him about it, thinking it would never take off.”

What does he think of The Bullet Club coming to WWE? 

It’s about time. WWE is the largest platform in the world to do what those guys love to do. They deserve to be here because they paid their dues, they worked really hard, and they made names for themselves. The best of the best come here to flourish. They’re gonna take all those years of experience, hard work and dedication, and now show it to the world on an even grander scale.

On the Bullet Club’s popularity:

“That’s a faction that really helped New Japan become global, because everywhere you look, there are Bullet Club shirts at U.S. sporting events and U.S. wrestling events. It just took off. It’s all the brainchild of Finn Bálor and Karl Anderson.”
