One of the top factions of the All Elite Wrestling promotion, The Elite – Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks have been confirmed to make their much-anticipated return to TV during AEW Full Gear 2022, later this week.
Due to backstage issues unfolding at AEW All Out 2022 PPV event, The Elite was removed from AEW TV in early September. AEW then teased their return last week on Dynamite via a promo clip that had Omega and The Bucks suddenly appearing in front of the PPV poster.
Last night on Dynamite, Death Triangle – Pac and The Lucha Brothers (Penta and Rey Fenix) successfully defended the AEW trios title against Darius Martin, Dante Martin, and AR Fox. PAC then cut a promo after the match and issued a challenge for The Elite.
The cameras then turned to the big screen where AEW confirmed that Omega and his long-time buddies will indeed return at Full Gear to take on Fenix, Penta, and Pac in the AEW World Trios Tag Team Championship Match.
It should be noted that The Elite never lost the AEW World Trios Tag Team Championships. Instead, they were stripped of their titles over their involvement in the aforementioned brawl that took place at AEW All Out. It also featured CM Punk, who is still suspended.
