Kenny Omega cemented his place as leader of Bullet Club over the weekend, even as he found out his opponent for the vacant IWGP Intercontinental Championship would be Hiroshi Tanahashi. While that will be one of the biggest tests of Omega's entire career, it certainly isn't the first time he has had a big match in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Five years ago, Omega challenged NXT's Finn Balor, then known as Prince Devitt, for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title. Just a couple years later, Devitt would turn heel and team with Karl Anderson, Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale to form the first incarnation of the Bullet Club, with him as the leader.
