While The Elite’s team has yet to be fully rounded out for the impending Blood & Guts match this month, Team AEW is finally starting to form as Ring of Honor World Champion Mark Briscoe has pledged his allegiance against The Elite.
Briscoe revealed his inclusion on Wednesday’s Dynamite during a passionate in-ring promo, getting jumped by new TNT champion and Elite member Jack Perry afterward. Kyle O’Reilly came to Briscoe’s aid only to then get jumped by Elite member Kazuchika Okada. The Young Bucks then came out to put the odds further in their favor until The Acclaimed ran everyone off.
While Briscoe’s involvement is now confirmed, The Elite are still looking to recruit a final team member as Hangman Page turned the Bucks down Wednesday in a backstage segment following his return to action in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
It will be Briscoe’s first Blood & Guts match while it will be the second-such contest for Nick & Matt Jackson who participated in last year’s match in Boston. It will also be the first Blood & Guts match for both AEW Continental Champion Okada and Perry.
The double cage buffet of in-ring violence will take place on the Wednesday, July 24th Dynamite from Nashville, Tennessee.
