Longtime Elite’s associate returns to AEW TV
An AEW name affiliated with The Elite has made his return to the promotion, getting involved in the opening contest of this week's edition of Collision. This would be Brandon Cutler.
Cutler has been affiliated with The Young Bucks for some time now. They played a part in his getting a contract with the promotion. He has not had the best track record in the ring, but he has become useful to The Bucks as their "stooge", and someone who has helped provide interference for them to win matches.
Earlier tonight, the opening contest between FTR against Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta of The Blackpool Combat Club ended in a 20-minute time-limit draw. The former proposed adding five minutes to settle things, but this was shut down.
Brandon Cutler came out representing the Elite. He reiterated that the sanctioned match had a time limit, which was explicitly stated in the contract.
FTR and The BCC did not take no for an answer, but since they couldn't do anything about it, they instead teamed up to attack Cutler, hitting him with an assisted Shatter Machine. Both tag teams then decided to have a rematch sometime in the future.
It remains to be seen if The Elite decides to do anything about this.
