Cody Says He’s Not In Bullet Club, Transitioning To A New Role
July 16, 2020 | News | No Comments
The much talked about free agency of about half The Bullet Club continues to gain stream through not only the ticking countdown and WWE related notes from “H” on Being The Elite, but through social media as well.
Earlier this month, The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Marty Scurll & Hangman Page tweeted out somewhat similar words about selling their “final Bullet Club style shirt” while adding that, “it also might be their favorite.” The group looks to be distancing themselves for either a move to WWE or staying put and simply working under their own group name, like “The Elite.”
Just recently, Cody wrote that he is “100% not in The Bullet Club” during a fan Q&A on Twitter. Also noting that at this month’s NJPW King Of Pro-Wrestling the “new” Bullet Club was featured with “Switchblade” Jay White, Gedo & Jado joining up with The Bullet Club OGs and he wasn’t involved at all in that segment. You can check out those tweets below:
#Cody @CodyRhodes If you could have any wrestler from any promotion join Bullet Club right now, who would it be?

Is it?
It’s weird folks are struggling with this. The last major njpw show featured a segment showcasing the new BC and I wasnt in it. This ain’t a mystery. I am 100% not in the bullet club, 100% the bullet club is awesome and will continue/thrive.

To add to Cody’s comments, Tama Tonga tweeted out the photo below, making it pretty clear who’s in the group.

Somewhat separate from this story is Cody losing The NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title back to Nick Aldis in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match last weekend at The NWA 70th Anniversary Show in Nashville, Tennessee.
On Instagram, Cody commented on the success of the event and thanked the fans who tuned in. Cody also said that he is beginning to “transition to a new role in pro wrestling.” We most likely won’t know what that new role is until the new year. You can check out Cody’s Instagram post below:
“As I begin a transition to a new role in pro-wrestling, I hope all the fans who’ve discovered the NWA recently…stay on board and continue to watch the likes of Nick Aldis, Avalon, Willie Mack, Jazz and many more. As I continue my remaining dates with the good folks at ROH, I’d like to thank them and The NWA for allowing me to cross imaginary lines and give the fans something special!”
It’s never pleasant losing a match, not to mention losing a title. However, last night in Nashville was the largest gross in Fairgrounds history(topped the TNA “asylum” 02-04 run, HOFers Dream & Jeff somehow ??) and I know a great deal of folks traveled far-and-wide to be there. That’s not missed on me. Southern rasslin’ and the cities that host it don’t often get that “buzz” like they should and it felt like the days of old last night. THANK YOU to all those who attended and watched live on FITE. THANK YOU to all those who attended the meet/greet(we earned several thousand dollars that I’ll be donating to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation! Still waiting on final numbers). As I begin a transition to a new role in pro-wrestling, I hope all the fans who’ve discovered the NWA recently…stay on board and continue to watch the likes of Nick Aldis, Avalon, Willie Mack, Jazz and many more. As I continue my remaining dates with the good folks at ROH, I’d like to thank them and The NWA for allowing me to cross imaginary lines and give the fans something special! -CR
