Kenny Omega teases that he recruited an old friend to fight alongside The Elite.
During the July 5 episode of AEW Dynamite, the broadcast team confirmed that both The Elite (Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, and The Young Bucks) and Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta), and Konosuke Takeshita will have a mystery member of their team for the Blood & Guts match on the July 19 episode of AEW Dynamite. Fans will learn of the identities of these individuals in the coming weeks, but Omega dropped a teaser for the live fans in attendance.

“Now you guys listen to this. There was a week when my whereabouts were unknown. I didn’t stay home. I didn’t go to Canada. I went to recruit an old friend, somebody who’s very near and dear to my heart. I’ve got no doubt in my mind that as much as he cares about me, he cares about the men in this ring, he cares about this promotion, he cares about changing the face of professional wrestling. At Blood and Guts in two weeks, there is no way we lose," Omega said.
Fightful will provide more information about the Blood & Guts match between The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club as it becomes available.
