The Elite (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks) have been backstage for the last few weeks at AEW Dynamite events. However, they haven’t returned to television following their suspension lifted by AEW President Tony Khan for their part in the All Out fight with CM Punk.
The belief is The Elite will be back on television any week as the promotion has been airing teaser vignettes for their return, with the latest ones featuring Full Gear graphics, indicating they will return at the event on November 19th.
Warner Bros. Discovery is filming a behind-the-scenes reality TV with AEW at Dynamite events.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that despite The Elite not being back on television, its believed they are being featured in the reality show as the series will air in early 2023, long after The Elite would’ve made their return.
Meltzer wrote, “I believe the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega are part of the show, which may be why they have been in even though not appearing on the television show. At least when the show was conceived, they were a part of it.”
The Elite hasn’t appeared on screen in AEW since winning the Trios Championships at the All Out PPV on September 4th but was stripped of the titles.
