The Golden Elite will reunite for the Blood & Guts Match.
At the end of the July 12 episode of AEW Dynamite, Don Callis came to the ring to announce the final member of Blackpool Combat Club's team for the Blood & Guts Match against The Elite (Hangman Page, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks, and a mystery partner) on the July 19 episode of AEW Dynamite. He started to insult the former AEW World Champion, and Omega came out. He was blindsided by former AEW All-Atlantic Champion PAC, who joined forces with Blackpool Combat Club and Konosuke Takeshita to attack Omega.
The 5th man on the side of the #BlackpoolCombatClub has been revealed: it is none other than The Bastard PAC, and he is OUT FOR REVENGE against Kenny Omega!

Omega reminded everyone that The Elite still had a fifth member, and a video played on the screen. It revealed that former NJPW star Kota Ibushi will finally reunite with Omega to team up with The Elite for the Blood & Guts Match on the July 19 episode of AEW Dynamite. Page and the Young Bucks then made the save, and Omega vowed to get his hands on Callis once they eliminated each member of Blackpool Combat Club's team (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Konosuke Takeshita, and PAC).

The Blood and Guts Match will mark Ibushi's AEW debut.
Fightful Select previously reported that Ibushi was in talks with AEW, and talent believed the conversations were for the Blood & Guts Match.
PAC has not wrestled since March, and his last AEW match was on the January 11 episode of AEW Dynamite, where The Elite (Omega and the Young Bucks) defeated PAC, Rey Fenix, and Penta El Zero Miedo to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
