The ongoing drama involving The Elite, Konosuke Takeshita, Hangman Page and Dark Order was featured in this week’s episode of Being the Elite. 

After footage of Takeshita rescuing The Elite from an attack by the BCC last week aired, Don Callis, Takeshita and The Elite were shown backstage. Callis and the Young Bucks were really thankful to Takeshita for what he did but Omega seemed uneasy with him being there. The Bucks would later say Takeshita is an “honorary” member of The Elite. 

Later in the episode, Evil Uno would approach the Young Bucks and asked about Hangman Page, who he says has been ignoring his texts. However, the Bucks lied to Uno and said they haven’t heard from Hangman. 

The Elite plan a promo —

  • Kenny Omega told the Young Bucks in the back that he had secured time for them to cut a promo on Dynamite. He said they were being given “MJF time,” meaning a 30 or 45-minute promo. 
  • Nick Jackson revealed to Brandon Cutler that the reason they were delayed in rescuing him and Michael Nakazawa from the Blackpool Combat Club the other week is that they wanted to “maximize the pop.” Brandon seemed okay with this. 

Highlights from AEW Dynamite–

  • Clips of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks cutting a promo on Dynamite last week is shown. Brandon’s footage of the Blackpool Combat Club’s attack and Takeshita coming to the rescue airs as well. 

The Elite and Konsuke Takeshita backstage —

  • In the locker room after the segment, Callis is thrilled with what happened but Omega doesn’t seem too enthusiastic about Takeshita being there. Matt Jackson invited Takeshita to hang out with The Elite, but Omega continued to seem hesitant about everything.  
  • The Young Bucks would later refer to Takeshita as an “honorary member.”

Evil Uno speaks with The Young Bucks —

  • Evil Uno told the Young Bucks that Hangman Page has been leaving his messages on read. Uno just wanted to know if Page is okay but the Bucks say they don’t know and haven’t heard from him.  
  • Uno is also concerned that Page is unable to find any cheese puffs. 
  • After Uno left, Nick Jackson revealed they have been in contact with Page and Matt Jackson said he actually does know where the cheesy puffs are.
