#6. The Elite gets the last laugh on AEW Dynamite
The Elite never misses a chance to show their dominance and the same was the case on Dynamite this week. New IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Christian Cage was being interviewed when Don Callis came out and reminded him that he was the one who gave Christian his big break more than a couple of decades ago in Winnipeg.
Callis descended to cheap shots and insults, telling Captain Charisma that it was a miracle he is still wrestling. The latter wasn't one to take cheap shots and told Callis off. Less than an hour later, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus faced The Young Bucks for the AEW tag team titles.
It wasn't the best bout of the night by any means. But it didn't matter because some of the most important names were involved. Kenny Omega got involved and interfered, and so did Christian Cage.
Ultimately, the chaos led to The Young Bucks retaining their titles. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega attacked Christian in the process and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were seen too in the assault. The Elite gathered up together on the ramp while Don Callis was jumping like a baby.
It was pure dominance for the faction on Dynamite and that isn't going to end anytime soon, for obvious reasons. However, it isn't all good news for The Young Bucks.
Callis told them to take a two-month vacation with their family to Hawaii, but Tony Schiavone stopped them in their tracks. He informed them on Tony Khan's behalf that a multi-team mini-tournament is going to take place, with the winners getting to face The Young Bucks at All Out in a Steel Cage match.
This could be where their near 10-month title reign comes to an end.
