The Elite, comprised of Jack Perry, Kazuchika Okada, Nicholas, and Matthew Jackson, has finally spoken out about their shocking ambush of AEW star Eddie Kingston at NJPW Resurgence. The unexpected attack occurred immediately after Kingston’s intense battle against Gabe Kidd for the Strong Openweight Championship, which he unfortunately lost. The 42-year-old Kingston is now gearing up to join forces with Bryan Danielson and FTR to take on The Elite in an Anarchy in the Arena Match at the upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
In an exclusive clip posted on All Elite Wrestling’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Jack Perry and The Young Bucks addressed their actions at NJPW Resurgence, providing some much-needed insight into their motivations behind the surprise attack. The Elite’s sudden ambush of Kingston has left fans questioning their intentions and the implications for the future of AEW.
It’s worth noting that The Elite’s actions at NJPW Resurgence bear some resemblance to their recent ambush of Kenny Omega on AEW Dynamite. Omega made his return to TV after being absent due to his diagnosis with diverticulitis, only to be shockingly ambushed by Jack Perry, who was later joined by The Young Bucks. Speaking on his Storytime with Dutch Mantell podcast, the former WWE manager claimed that the segment felt a little too long, but the intensity of the attack was undeniable.
The upcoming Anarchy in the Arena Match at Double or Nothing promises to be an explosive and unpredictable encounter, pitting Team AEW against The Elite. With tensions running high, fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this epic clash, which will undoubtedly have significant implications for the world of professional wrestling. Which team will emerge victorious? Only time will tell.
