Cody Rhodes confesses he was a terrible leader during time with popular wrestling faction

Rhodes returned to WWE after six years RAW Superstar recently opened up about his time in the iconic faction The Bullet Club. The faction was formed in 2013 by Finn Balor when he betrayed Ryusuke Taguchi in NJPW. Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) joined Balor, claiming to be a group of heel foreigners in the Japanese wrestling promotion. Rhodes joined in 2016 before challenging Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. In 2018 a rivalry broke out between Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega, which resulted in members of The Bullet Club turning against each other. A fan recently tweeted about how Cody Rhodes was the reason behind his discovery of the Bullet Club and piqued his interest in wrestling. The American Nightmare responded by stating that he was not a good leader and learned a lot from members of the iconic faction. "I was a terrible “leader” but damn was the show hot and tickets were moving. Learned bunches from those men," tweeted The American Nightmare.
