“The Good Looking Emperor” made a surprise appearance at Korakuen Hall on Tuesday. 

After a ref bump in the Tetsuya Naito vs. Drilla Moloney match, Jake Lee of Pro Wrestling NOAH attacked Naito, eventually leading to Moloney picking up the victory. 

Chris Charlton noted on commentary that Lee aligning with the Bullet Club War Dogs is likely a marriage of convenience and not him joining the stable. He still appears to be a member of NOAH’s GLG (Good Looking Guys) stable and was wearing a shirt with the faction’s logo on it when he attacked Naito on Tuesday. 

It was later announced that Lee will join the Bullet Club team for Saturday’s show in Hiroshima. Lee will replace Gedo in the five-on-five elimination match against members of LIJ.
