The Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite are set to culminate their rivalry at AEW Blood and Guts

The feud between the BCC and The Elite has been brutal and intriguing until now. However, it reached a boiling point with the announcement of the AEW Blood and Guts match between the two factions.

On one side, there will be Kenny Omega with The Young Bucks and "Hangman" Adam Page. On the other side, BCC members Jon Moxley, Claudio Castangoli and Wheeler Yuta will team with Konosuke Takeshita. Both teams will also announce a fifth member to be added to the gruelling bout.

So if Kota Ibushi doesn’t turn out to be on team Elite for Blood and Guts, who are we thinking it’s going to be? The only other person I can think of it being is Sammy Guevara. Chris Jericho will be with BCC and Sammy with the Elite! What do you guys think? 🤔 #AEW

As the speculation intensifies, it would surely be interesting to see who will be joining each team in the coming weeks. Furthermore, whether Wheeler Yuta will be medically cleared for the Blood and Guts match amid the Dynamite injury also remains to be seen.
