The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page have plenty of history. For years, the quartet, alongside Cody Rhodes, was known as The Elite, and they wrestled around the world together. Rhodes, Omega, and the Jackson brothers were the founding EVPs of AEW, which launched in 2019. Omega, Page, and the Young Bucks remained friends during AEW’s first several months. Hangman and Page won the AEW World Tag Team Championship together, but they drifted apart. Hangman eventually broke off from the trio and later feuded with them once he set his sights on Omega’s world title.
Page defeated Omega to win the AEW World Championship at AEW Full Gear 2021. Omega subsequently took several months off to heal from a number of injuries. He returned in August 2022, and he reunited with The Young Bucks. Aside from missing some time due to a suspension after Brawl Out, Omega and the Bucks have remained paired up together, and they have been focused on the trios titles. Meanwhile, Page has been left by himself, though he has continued to lean on the support of the Dark Order during his feud with Jon Moxley. In recent weeks, fans have buzzed about a potential reunion of The Elite. Omega and The Bucks had Page’s back on the March 15 episode of AEW Dynamite, as they saved him from a beatdown at the hands of Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta.
On the March 20 episode of Being The Elite, Matt created a new group chat with Nick, Page, and Omega. Nick responded by renaming the chat “The Gang” and expressing his excitement. Hangman chimed in with a cowboy emoji, which seemed to suggest that he was receptive to the idea. But Omega promptly left the group chat without saying anything. Nick responded by sending a GIF of Michael Jackson eating popcorn, implying that he was interested by the twist. Matt sent a string of periods as if he didn’t know what to say, and the episode came to an end.
