The Elite Could Be Set To Return To AEW “Imminently”
Suspended AEW stars The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega – collectively The Elite – could be about to return to the company according to a new report.
The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega were suspended by AEW and stripped of the Trios Championship due to their part in the fight that took place backstage after All Out. Tempers flared following CM Punk’s astonishing remarks at the post-show media scrum and he is alleged to have been confronted in his locker room by The Bucks.
CM Punk is said to have thrown a punch at Matt Jackson while the former AEW Champion’s friend and company producer Ace Steel is said to have thrown a chair at Nick Jackson and to have bitten Kenny Omega. All involved in the incident were suspended with several people involved in a peacemaking capacity quickly reinstated. It is believed Ace Steel has been fired by AEW but this has not been confirmed.
Now Fightful Select has reported the latest on the situation and it could prove to be good news for fans of The Elite. The report states that there has been talk behind the scenes in the company that The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega could be set to return – at least to their backstage roles of EVPs.
A source is quoted as saying that the return could happen “imminently” but nothing has been confirmed. A meeting was said to have been scheduled for last week but no information has come to light from that and there is still no indication as to when the inaugural AEW Trios Champions could return to television.
