Being The Elite (Episode 101): NJPW G1 Fallout

Below is episode 101 (“Family Dinner”) of Being the Elite. The episode features the aftermath of the NJPW G1 Special (full results here) where Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Haku attacked the other Bullet Club members. Also, after Kenny Omega defeated Cody, it looked like the two had buried the hatchet. Here’s a recap of the episode:

* In his hotel room, Chris Jericho says goodbye to The Young Bucks and finds out Marty Scurll had been hanging in his closet to ask if he could join him and The Young Bucks to become the fourth member of The Alpha Club. Scurll then tries to recruit Jericho into The Villain Club, but Jericho is writing on something, not a list – because WWE owns that – he’s just writing some notes about Scurll. Jericho has zero interest and asks him to leave his room, Scurll tries to go back into the closet, but eventually leaves. Jericho then says quietly to the camera, “He just made the list!”

* Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks make it to the Cow Palace for the NJPW G1 Special. Cody does rehearsals for his entrance where he was carried to the ring.

* Matt Jackson tries to talk some sense into Cody and let’s him know the group still loves him and to be safe in his title match against Omega. Cody looks to have mixed feelings about all of this.

* SoCal Uncensored is really not happy to be in Virgnia, they talk some trash about George Mason not signing the Constitution.

* Omega speaks with Matt and Nick before their match and the two look a little stressed. They ask Omega how he broke the “5 Star Scale,” they’ve tried everything, but can’t do it. “It’s no secret that critics love a very long ass singles match, so you guys are already at a disadvantage,” Omega responds. He then says the secret is psychology.

* Adam Page apparently has two personalities and they argue over him taking out Joey Ryan. Page ends up beating himself up and it looks like the bad side is the only one left.

* Matt talks with Kenny and says he thinks there is still some good in Cody. Kenny says he’s just going to have a match, Matt laughs and replies not to hurt him too bad.

* Flashback to last week when Nick has a premonition: “Something bad’s gonna happen.” Clips are shown of Tonga, Loa, and Haku attacking the Bullet Club after the G1 Special main event.

* After the show, The Bucks, Page, Omega, and Scurll are eating in a hotel room. Cody knocks on the door and limps in. Kenny ends up moving over on the couch to give him a spot and hands him some food. Dejected, the group sits in silence until Cody says, “So, how are we going to make these motherf—— pay?…And what the hell is Haku’s problem?”

Kenny Omega On WWE: I Would Feel Like It’s A Missed Opportunity If I Couldn’t Work With Them

Kenny Omega completed a long journey when he defeated Kacuchika Okada at NJPW’s Dominion show to become IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Now Omega is the top name in New Japan Pro Wrestling and is set to defend his new title at the Cow Palace this Saturday. Omega’s match at the G1 USA Special will not only be for his championship, but the leadership role in The Bullet Club is up for grabs as well.

WWE had Kenny Omega in their developmental territory for a short time when he performed in Deep South Wrestling, but he left in 2016 after only a year.

Omega previously told WrestlingINC’s Aaron Varble he feels he would do well in adapting to WWE’s environment. He was recently a guest on The Ross Report where The Cleaner was asked about the possibility of WWE and Omega joining forces down the line.

“I’ve been keeping up to date on kind of the goings on and I always at the very least look at the highlights of every show, both brands, 205 Live, and even the NXT stuff. I’m really happy for everyone that’s doing well there.

“I was able to work in a fantastic program with The New Day [at E3] and they really brought something special to that sort of feud because all three of those guys are very special athletes, they’re very special performers. They have a special kind of charisma. They know how to work the people, work for cameras, work for the TV. When I think about the possibilities of what it would be like if I could ever mix it up with some of those guys it gets me excited. because they are a lot of great performers.”

Omega continued discussing Superstars in WWE, but also stated how good the talent is in so many other promotions as well. He said it would be impossible to have a bad match at this point due to the rich talent available. It would also be a missed opportunity if he wasn’t able to eventually mix it up with some of the top names on WWE’s roster

“A lot of the guys that even though they came up through the indies you know we were in different stages of our lives and we never mixed it up together. I could say you know if I could work with Seth Rollins at some point in time that would be a lot of fun.

“So when I think about the possibilities of stuff like that it does get me excited. Now every promotion has so many good guys. There’s really no way I would have a bad time going almost anywhere because the depth of the talent is just so deep. WWE right now has a very great collection of talent with guys and I would feel like it’s a missed opportunity if I couldn’t work with them at some point.”

Kenny Omega And The Young Bucks Tease Potential Match With The New Day On ‘Being The Elite’ (Video)

WWE’s The New Day appeared alongside Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks in the latest episode of Being The Elite … but if that wasn’t enough to work you into a frenzy, a potential wrestling match between the two teams was also teased.

Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods are involved in a standoff with Omega and The Bucks ahead of their Street Fighter V showdown at EC3 at the top of this week’s show.

The most interesting moment happens at the end of the video, however, as Omega touts his victory over New Day and Nick Jackson questions if there’s something “better” they can defeat them at.

“The fans want it. I know I want it,” Nick tells Kenny and Matt. “We’re three athletes: think about it. We can beat them at something else.”

“It would have to be neutral ground,” Kenny responds.

Matt mentions a wrestling match … but the video ends and we’re left hanging!

It’s worth noting Triple H said last week that WWE would be open to inter-promotional opportunities with other companies. WWE also hyped The Bucks and Omega on their social channels last week. Is this impossible dream match becoming more probable?

Watch the latest episode of Being The Elite below. The match tease happens in the last minute or so.

WATCH: New Day Defeats The Elite In Street Fighter Battle At E3, But Omega Got Last Laugh (Sorta)

The battle between New Day and The Elite at E3 in Los Angeles ended with lots of tears on Thursday — but not for the reason you’d think.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks faced off against Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston in a team battle exhibition live at E3 2018, playing Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

The trash talking kicked off right away between the two teams, with Matt Jackson saying the Bucks would virtually superkick New Day back to WWE‘s midcard.

Nick Jackson went up first against Kofi, but was met with defeat. Next up was Kenny vs. E, and Omega swept their battle with ease. Xavier Woods played against Matt Jackson in the final round and was dominant in their encounter, leading his team to victory.

Omega then challenged Woods to a best of five battle and it was agreed that the loser would eat a habanero pepper. After an intense battle, Kenny was victorious.

Watch the full video (including Xavier AND Kenny both tearfully eating peppers) below.
