The Elite are ready for war.
Darby Allin spoiled The Elite's plans on the July 17th episode of AEW Dynamite, as he joined Team AEW and brawled with the Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada at the end of the show. The two teams will clash in the Blood & Guts Match on the July 24th episode of AEW Dynamite.
In a digital exclusive, The Elite expressed their frustration.
Nicholas Jackson: We’ve already been through this, Sting. Darby stealing your schtick now? It’s ridiculous. It pisses us off. You thought we were pissed off before? We’re pissed off even more, damn it.
Matthew Jackson: What do you have to do to gain a little bit of respect around this place? We’ve been here for the entire run. We created the company. Still, I walk around here like I’m a stranger in my own home. I have people coming down from the ceiling. I have The Acclaimed disparaging their own bosses on television. I’m a little bit angry. I try not to be. I’m a little bit. I was just made fun of and embarrassed on national television. My wife is texting me. She said, ‘I saw that. Are you okay?’ What am I supposed to say?
NJ: Tonight was supposed to be a night of celebrating. We’re not celebrating tonight. What we’re doing is, we’re getting ready. We’re prepping ourselves for next week. Blood & Guts, you five assholes haven’t seen the best of us. You haven’t seen the violent side of us. Well, guess what? Hangman’s on our side, and he might be the secret ingredient that The Elite need.
After Kazuchika Okada called Team AEW five bitches, Jack Perry made it clear that he was confident heading into Blood & Guts.
Jack Perry: Next week, Nashville, Tennessee, it’s Blood & Guts. This ragtag team comes together at the eleventh hour, and they think they’re gonna beat us? The Elite? You want to know what makes The Elite such a dominant force? It’s that we have each other’s backs. These two [The Young Bucks] had my back when the people I thought were my best friends were too big of pussies to give me a call for eight months. These two had my back. So no matter what happens inside those cages, I will have theirs, and The Elite will reign supreme in Blood & Guts.
The Elite are not celebrating #AEWDynamite250, they are preparing to DOMINATE Blood and Guts NEXT WEEK!
