SANADA made a dramatic turn at NJPW Power Struggle, by joining the Bullet Club War Dogs faction. The event, held on November 4, 2024, in Osaka, saw SANADA betray his former faction, Just 5 Guys, during Taichi's IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship match against David Finlay.
As Taichi had Finlay pinned, SANADA pulled the referee out of the ring, causing confusion and chaos. When Taichi and SANADA locked eyes, SANADA revealed his Bullet Club War Dogs shirt, stunning Taichi and the audience alike2. Finlay took advantage of the situation, hitting Taichi with a shillelagh to retain the title.
SANADA's betrayal marked the end of the Just 5 Guys faction and solidified his new allegiance with the Bullet Club War Dogs. The move has generated significant buzz among fans, who are eager to see how SANADA's new partnership will play out in future NJPW events.
