The Bang Bang Gang, formerly known as Bullet Club Gold, is a professional wrestling stable in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). The stable consists of leader Jay White, Juice Robinson, The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn), and Ace Austin.

History

Jay White made his debut as a member of the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) roster on the April 5 episode of AEW Dynamite where he came to aid Juice Robinson and attacking Ricky Starks.[1] His entrance video showed the Bullet Club logo in gold, hinting that White was still in Bullet Club. Later on social media, White posted a picture of him and Robinson throwing up the stable's iconic gun taunt with the phrase "Bullet Club Black 'n Gold". The next week in a pre-taped promo, the duo declared themselves the first two members of Bullet Club Gold, establishing an official branch of the faction in AEW.[2] On the June 7 episode of Dynamite, Austin and Colten Gunn interfered to help White defeat Starks. On the June 21 episode of Dynamite, White and Robinson returned the favor helping the Gunns defeat The Hardys. The Gunns were officially inducted into Bullet Club Gold during the June 24 episode of Collision, after teaming with White and Robinson to defeat Starks, CM Punk, and FTR, subsequently nicknaming themselves the "Bang Bang Gang".[3]

On the January 17, 2024, episode of Dynamite, White and the Gunns defeated Mogul Embassy to become the new ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions. On the January 20 episode of Collision, Bullet Club Gold joined forces with AEW World Trios Champions The Acclaimed to form the "Bang Bang Scissor Gang" to aid each other against stronger and larger factions like the Undisputed Kingdom who had attacked both the Acclaimed and White. At Big Business on March 13, Bullet Club Gold turned on The Acclaimed, disbanding the "Bang Bang Scissor Gang". At Dynasty Zero Hour, Bullet Club Gold defeated The Acclaimed to unify the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships with the AEW World Trios Championships as the Unified World Trios Championships. During this time, Bullet Club Gold silently switched to the Bang Bang Gang as their primary name, though they continue to refer to themselves by both names. On the June 5 Rampage tapings, a returning Robinson wrestled his first match since his return, teaming with The Gunns to win a trios match. After the match, White announced that he was giving Robinson a share of the Unified Trios Championship held by White and the Gunns, thus invoking the Freebird Rule.[4] However, on the July 13 episode of Collision, interim AEW Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels overruled Bang Bang Gang's attempt to invoke the Freebird Rule and stripped them of the Unified World Trios Championship.[5] On the following week, The Gunns and Robinson failed to win the vacant AEW World Trios Championship, which was won by The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Killswitch and Nick Wayne) after interference from Mother Wayne.[6] On August 25 at All In, Robinson and The Gunns participated in a four-way ladder match for the trios titles, which was won by Pac and Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta).[7] On the October 2 episode of Dynamite, White returned from injury and came to the aid of Robinson during an attack by Adam Page, turning the stable into babyfaces.[8] On November 24, Robinson was announced as a participant in the 2024 Continental Classic,[9] but on December 3, Robinson was pulled from the tournament due to injury and was subsequently replaced by Komander.[10]

On the February 5, 2025, episode of Dynamite, The Gunns returned after a brief hiatus and challenged The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) to a match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships the following week, where they were defeated.[11][12] In April 2025, White suffered a hand injury and was pulled from television.[13] On July 12, 2025, at All In, Robinson returned from injury as a participant in the men's Casino Gauntlet match, but failed to win.[14] In the same month, Colten would suffer a legitimate knee injury during a match, leaving him out of action indefinitely.[15] Due to Colten's injury, Austin began teaming with Robinson as the duo entered tournaments for an AEW World Tag Team Championship match, but were quickly eliminated.[16][17] On the September 27, 2025, episode of Collision, Ace Austin joined the Bang Bang Gang.[18]

On January 6, 2026, it was announced that Bullet Club has dissolved, leaving the Bang Bang Gang as a standalone group.
