An update on The Elite.
During Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, a vignette aired going through the history of The Elite (Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks) where the trio were "erased" out of moments as their words faded. Omega and the Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) are Executive Vice Presidents of the promotion and three of the most decorated wrestlers in company history.
Omega is a former AEW World Champion, the Young Bucks are former two-time AEW Tag Team Champions, and the Elite are former AEW Trios Champions.
It is unknown when the trio will return to television.

The Elite haven't been on television since AEW All Out when they won the AEW Trios Championships, defeating Dark Order (Hangman Page, John Silver, & Alex Reynolds) in the finals of the tournament. After AEW All Out ended, Omega and the Bucks were involved in an altercation with CM Punk and Ace Steel regarding Punk's comments made towards them, Colt Cabana, and Hangman during his post-show press conference.
All parties were initially suspended following the altercation and an investigation took place. Steel has been fired by AEW while Punk and AEW are reportedly working on a contract buyout. The Elite vacated the Trios Championships as a result of their suspension.
On Wednesday, Fightful Select published the following report regarding The Elite:
We've learned that for the first time since AEW All Out, there is talk backstage of Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks coming back to work, at the very least in a backstage capacity. One source said they heard it could happen "imminently," but nobody we heard from could definitively tell us when it's expected.
Fightful Select has learned that over the last couple of weeks, the most movement out of the situation has happened since the incident took place. We were told that a meeting was scheduled for last week, but we're in the dark on the context of those.
