He proceeded to call himself the true belt collecter, taking a shot at IMPACT Champion <strong>Kenny<\/strong> <strong>Omega<\/strong>. White then called out <strong>David Finlay<\/strong> for hiding in IMPACT and challenging him to a match at <em>Resurgence<\/em>. White then addressed Kenny Omega and <strong>The Good Brothers<\/strong>, calling them the biggest fans of Bullet Club and reminding them they have nothing to do with Bullet Club anymore. Omega and The Good Brothers then came out with <strong>Don<\/strong> <strong>Callis<\/strong> to address White.<\/p>\n<p>Callis extended an invitation to White to join <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Elite<\/strong>. When White reminded Kenny and Callis that he defeated Omega, they retreated to the back. The Good Brothers approached the ring and demanded a thank you from White for what they did for The Bullet Club and paving the way for him. Things got physical after White insulted their careers, leading to White being beaten down. Bey then made his way to the ring evening up the odds. Bey and White stood tall as The Good Brothers retreated. A tag match was set up for the following week on IMPACT between the four.<\/p>\n<p>White and Bey were defeated by The Good Brothers after Bey was pinned. After the match, Bey claimed he didn&#8217;t want his first match in the Bullet Club to be a loss. Jay White quickly let him know that he is not in the Bullet Club yet but had a chance to redeem himself. The redemption came when Bey and White beat down FinJuice backstage. This set up a match between Bey and Juice this week on IMPACT, which Bey won. White then handed Bey a Bullet Club shirt and a &#8220;Too Sweet&#8221; to make Bey officially in The Bullet Club.<\/p>\n<p>This is another chapter in the working relationship between NJPW and IMPACT.
