The Elite is one of the most exhilarating factions in the AEW Landscape. The trio of Kenny Omega, Matt, and Nick Jackson are looking dominant for quite a few weeks. However, reports suggest that Young Bucks member Nick Jackson might be working injured through the past few weeks.
Kenny Omega and his cohorts, The Young Bucks, became the inaugural AEW World Trios champions at AEW All Out 2022, defeating the team of “Hangman” Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver). Those are titles that they still hold today, but it took a lot of work to attain them.
The Trio was stripped of the titles after a real-life backstage altercation with CM Punk post the AEW All Out media scrum. They would make their return at AEW Full Gear 2022 and lost to Death Triangle. Following their loss, a best-of-seven series between the factions was announced.
The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega had tied the series 3-3 and went on to defeat PAC, Penta El 0 M, and Rey Fenix in the final showdown to regain the titles on this week’s edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite.
Despite winning the series, it seems like Nick Jackson had been working injured for the past few weeks. Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Nick suffered a broken toe during an early match of the series. He continued working through that despite the pain.
With The Elite becoming the AEW World Trios champions for the second time, it looks like we might be in store for new challengers to step up and try to dethrone them for the titles. Keep checking back with Ringside News for more.
