The Good Brothers are back.
Tomorrow night, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) are slated to take on the Bullet Club War Dogs (Gabe Kidd, David Finlay, Clark Connors and Gedo) at NJPW Resurgence, which emanates from Ontario, California. Alongside The Young Bucks will be a familiar duo now confirmed by New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Per NJPW’s Twitter/X, The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows) will join forces with The Young Bucks at the Resurgence event, marking the former pair’s first match following their recent release from WWE. In general, Resurgence signals the quartet’s first encounter since September 2021, when they took on Jurassic Express and the Lucha Brothers on AEW Dynamite.
It's official- @youngbucks have recruited @MachineGunKA and @The_BigLG for #njresurgence FRIDAY!

The Good Brothers aren’t coming back for a “re-debut”
According to The Good Brothers, their return to NJPW isn’t just a return, but rather, an entire takeover.
“New Japan Pro-Wrestling fans, you are not just witnessing history,” said Anderson in an ominous video package.
“What you’re witnessing here today, my friends, it is not a re-debut,” Gallows continued. “It is not an arrival shot, it is a resurrection. It is the resurgence of the Good Brothers.”
“And May 9th is day one at Resurgence. You are witnessing a total takeover,” Anderson finished.
See you Friday @youngbucks #BulletlcubOGs

Fightful Select reports that Gallows and Anderson struck a deal with NJPW a while ago, though it couldn’t be promoted due to the non-compete clause attached to their WWE release. Anderson had previously been sidelined with a torn rotator cuff and a torn labrum.
