VIDEO: Being the Elite – ‘Renewal’

Video —

This week’s edition of BTE revealed some surprising news regarding The Elite re-signing with AEW. 

In the opening moments of the show, the group is upset about their new contracts as they had wanted to retire from professional wrestling. However, they have all been dealing with financial difficulties of late and needed the money. The group all made extravagant purchases and investments recently after Matt Jackson assured them they’d soon receive a huge sponsorship contract that never materialized. 

The Elite spent several moments voicing their displeasure with Matt before cutting to a travel montage. 

Ryan Nemeth was featured again on this week’s episode as well. He was back at the SAG AFTRA strike. 

Later in the show, Matt was critical of Cutler for the job he did while they were away, saying the only demo they did well in was people aged 98+. Cutler then blamed Colt Cabana for the poor results. 

Also on BTE this week, The Iron Savages cut a promo, highlights from AEW Dynamite 200 last week were shown, and Cutler went to Gen Con to promote AEW’s new card game with Upper Deck.
