5 Bullet Club members who could debut in WWE in 2026

WWE’s talent scouting has seemingly shifted into overdrive. As the company continues to expand its global footprint, the bridge between New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and the Stamford-based promotion has never been shorter. With several high-profile contracts set to expire or already under negotiation, it looks like the War Dogs of the Bullet Club will likely be the next major acquisitions.

In this listicle, we will look at five Bullet Club members who could debut in the Stamford-based promotion in 2026.

#5. Yuto-Ice

One-half of The Knock Out Brothers, Yuto-Ice (formerly Yuto Nakashima), has undergone a massive transformation in the last year. After a grueling excursion in Europe where he captured gold in wXw, he returned to NJPW as a polished, MMA-influenced striker.

Reports emerged in late 2025 that WWE had officially extended contract offers to both members of the Knock Out Brothers. Yuto’s legitimate judo background and "no-nonsense" attitude make him a perfect fit for the hard-hitting style of NXT or a potential Bloodline-esque faction on the main roster.

#4. OSKAR

The other half of the dominant IWGP Tag Team Champions, the German-born powerhouse OSKAR, is a literal giant in the ring. He represents the exact type of physical specimen that WWE covets.

OSKAR’s journey from the Fale Dojo in New Zealand to the top of the NJPW tag division has been a masterclass in development. If WWE successfully signs the Knock Out Brothers as a package deal, many believe OSKAR will provide the raw power and Hulk-like presence to anchor the tag team division for years to come.

#3. Clark Connors

Clark Connors is perhaps the most WWE-ready member of the Bullet Club War Dogs. With his contract reportedly set to expire in early 2026, The Wild Rhino is seemingly at a career crossroads. Connors has already proven he can hang on the big stage, having appeared for AEW and excelled in high-pressure NJPW tournaments.

His explosive style and charismatic, aggressive persona would thrive in the current Stamford-based promotion's environment. Many insiders believe Connors could follow in the footsteps of former LA Dojo stablemate Eddy Thorpe and make the jump to Orlando to refine his character before a massive main roster debut.

#2. Drilla Moloney

Drilla Moloney is no stranger to the WWE landscape. Long before he was tearing through opponents as the "Drilla" of the War Dogs, fans knew him as Dan Moloney, a powerhouse who was starting to make waves in NXT UK. His release in 2021 could have been a setback, but Moloney used it as fuel, completely reinventing himself into one of the most feared brawlers on the planet.

Fans believe that coming back to WWE wouldn't just be another job for Drilla Moloney; it’s an opportunity to return as a finished product. He already understands the company's way and knows exactly what’s expected under the bright lights, but this time, he would be walking through the doors with the elite pedigree of The Bullet Club behind him.

For many, a 2026 debut would be the perfect full-circle story, giving him the chance to finally finish the business he started back in the UK.

#1. WWE legend Finlay's son, David Finlay

The leader of the Bullet Club War Dogs, David Finlay, is the biggest "get" on this list. As the son of WWE legend and current producer Finlay, the DNA of professional wrestling runs deep in his veins. David has become a rebel and is leading the most violent iteration of the Bullet Club in history.

With his NJPW contract reportedly up in early 2026, the lure of joining his father and continuing the Finlay legacy in the Stamford-based promotion might be too strong to ignore. Whether he debuts as a solo star or brings the entire War Dogs unit with him, David Finlay in WWE would be a seismic shift in the wrestling landscape.
