Omega asked if they were going to come out to The Elite music, but Callis interjected and suggested they enter separately because the Young Bucks have good music and they all agreed. A backstage camera filmed Omega from behind as he stood in the entrance tunnel during his entrance. Omega stood there for a moment before walking out to the ring. From there, another clip from Dynamite played of Don Callis teasing calling out the Young Bucks, but instead calling out the Good Brothers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Matt and Nick were shown standing in the entrance tunnel after that announcement. They looked mad and flipped off Omega behind the curtain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Matt and Nick were backstage in a hallway and Matt found Omega and the Good Brothers. Matt and Nick approached them and Matt sarcastically congratulated them on a good match. Omega tried to say he had no idea what happened. Matt asked why Anderson and Gallows were already in their gear if they didn\u2019t know this was going to happen. Gallows said he though Impact was taping in Orlando again and they were just passing through. Anderson said they know them and that they never want to actually go wrestle, so why would they agree to this plan. Nick Jackson said that\u2019s true and seemed to believe it. Omega promised them that he did not set this up and Matt asked who did. After a moment of silence, Matt drew his own conclusion as to who did it. Omega said Don doesn\u2019t understand their relationship and Omega promised if he knew it wouldn\u2019t have happened. They all held up the &#8220;too sweet&#8221; hand sign and Omega promised to talk to Callis. Matt said it was just embarrassing for them to be ready to go to have this switch happen. Omega complimented their new ring gear. Omega and the Good Brothers then walked away. Nick then tapped Matt on the shoulder and asked if he thought it was planned. Matt said \u201cone thousand percent yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; The BTE open aired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; AEW staffer, Jeff Jones, was holding cardboard cut outs of Matt and Nick Jackson. He said those cut outs had been at all of the Jacksonville Jaguars games this season. Nick had signed his and Jones pulled out Matt\u2019s to have him sign it as well. Matt signed the cut out as he stared into the camera while not looking at his signature. He smiled and said \u201cit\u2019s back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Stu Grayson was talking on the phone while the other members of Dark Order were conversing behind him. Grayson was on the phone getting upset with the person on the other end as he tried to order a life size horse made of chocolate. Grayson walked out of the frame and Uno asked them all to quiet down. Uno said they only have two days to prepare for Hangman Page to join Dark Order. They all cheered and Uno said it needs to be a huge celebration. Uno said he\u2019s getting him an inflatable castle like he had on his fourth birthday. They all went around listing off their gift ideas and insulted Angels for his bad gift idea. Hangman Page then walked in, drink in hand, and asked what they were doing. They all looked at him confused then screamed at him to get out before excitedly going back to talking about how great his surprise party was going to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Allie walked past Brandon Cutler backstage and said hi to him. As she walked past, Cutler turned his back to her and shook his head as if he was annoyed by her. Allie turned around and flipped Cutler off behind his back before continuing to walk off.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2141060928\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Private Party walked in on Matt Hardy and were very upset with him. Kassidy asked Matt what was in his hands and Matt said he had a couple of resumes. Kassidy said he thought it was just the three of them. Hardy set the papers down and assured them both that it\u2019s just the three of them. He said he was just looking them over because they were sent to him. Hardy quickly changed the subject and said he got fired up with them last week because of what Quen said. Hardy said Quen called him a \u201cmoney grabbing carney.\u201d Hardy said that level of disrespect is just unheard of. Kassidy muttered something under his breath and Hardy challenged him to say it out loud. Kassidy then said he agreed with Quen and that Hardy was being a money grabbing carney. Hardy called them stubborn and dumb, but said he was going to fix it if they just listen to what he says. Hardy said their match on Dark this week is very important and they need to win \u201cby any means necessary.\u201d Hardy then yelled it into each of their ears so they really understood what he was saying. He said it again as he walked off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Kris Statlander spoke into her watch and said her initial examination of Griff Garrison was a failure. She said the subject was much too big, but perhaps his companion would be an easier subject to examine. The camera panned around to show Brian Pillman Jr. leaning against a wall playing on his phone. Statlander said hello to him and then put him in a headlock and ran off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Leva Bates was sitting backstage reading a book. Peter Avalon approached her and awkwardly coughed to get her attention. He awkwardly said hello and acknowledged that she\u2019s been winning a lot of matches lately and she said yeah. Bates returned the compliment. Avalon awkwardly tried to make small talk with her for a minute. They went to say goodbye, but weren\u2019t on the same page as one attempted a handshake while the other attempted a hug. Eventually they just awkwardly walked the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Statlander sat with Pillman in a small room. Pillman asked what she wanted Statlander just asked him to read what\u2019s on the paper in her hand and Pillman agreed. The paper read \u201cEye em sofa king stoop ed.\u201d Pillman repeated it faster before jumping up in frustration. PIllman had his hands tied behind his back, but Statlander said she didn\u2019t even do that. Statlander then told him to leave and he left, with his hands still tied behind his back somehow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0&#8211; Luchasaurus stood in a locker room and said the EVPs stole his locker room, so in return he\u2019s going to steal a cola out of the fridge. He grabbed one and when he closed the fridge door, Cutler appeared and asked him what he\u2019s doing. Cutler said they have a match next week and Luchasaurus said he\u2019s ready to wrestle Cutler. Cutler said it won\u2019t be him and that it would be a dragon. Luchasaurus got upset and said dragons are not real. Cutler called him a fossil, which upset him. Cutler said he would see him on Dark and Luchasaurus looked into the camera and said \u201coh it\u2019s on now\u201d and stormed out of the room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Kip Sabian was sitting down and Leva Bates walked up and said hi. He called her a loser and laughed at her. Bates said she\u2019s there to tell him the truth and the truth is, she let him win. He shrugged it off, but it slowly set in that she wasn\u2019t joking. She repeated herself, but he rejected that and threatened her one last game. Bates accepted and he stormed off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; John Silver awkwardly introduced himself as the BTE Champion. Silver said he\u2019s playing beer pong against Silver for the BTE championship, but thanks to Cutler they have to use bottle caps instead of ping pong balls. They played and Silver ended up winning. They shook hands and Reynolds kissed him on the forehead. Silver grabbed his belt and said he\u2019s the most dominant champion in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Matt and Nick Jackson had their luggage and said it was time to leave. They went to exit their new locker room and Matt Hardy walked in. Matt Jackson went to tell Hardy about his key issue last week and Isaiah Kassidy started to walk in. Hardy quickly shooed him away and called him dumb. The Young Bucks told him they had to get a locksmith because the lock didn\u2019t work. Hardy said of course the key didn\u2019t work as the contract Matt Jackson signed specifically said Hardy is the only one with a key and he can lock\/unlock the room. Hardy then said they\u2019ll need to contact him whenever they need to get in or out of the room from now on. Matt and Nick Jackson said that\u2019s kind of weird, but okay. Hardy then held out his hand and wanted to talk to them about payment. Hardy said that was also in the contract, if they would\u2019ve read it. They both pulled out their wallet and took all the cash they had. Hardy said they\u2019re all good for this week. Matt Jackson said it will be fine, they are millionaires and their kids are set for life. Nick complained and said they\u2019re just stupid babyfaces around there and Matt said he\u2019s pretty sure the paper he signed was completely blank as they left.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2073644038\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS: <\/strong>I\u2019m glad they had the Young Bucks confront Omega and the Good Brothers about what happened on Dynamite last week. I\u2019m not sure the explanation, or lack thereof, did much to help it make sense, but we will see where it goes. They basically beat around the bush and said it wasn\u2019t them and the Young Bucks just went with it, even though they knew Omega was in on it. The Young Bucks\u2019 characters are all over the place in recent months. They just (seemingly) turned heel to join up with Omega and the Good Brothers, but Nick made a comment at the very end of the episode saying they\u2019re just stupid babyfaces. Do they think they\u2019re babyfaces? At this point, I have no idea what they\u2019re supposed to be because it flips more often than Matt Hardy flips gimmicks. I\u2019m definitely willing to give this story time, but looking at what\u2019s unfolded the last couple of months, they\u2019ve been all over the place and that trend has just continued the last two weeks on Dynamite. Hopefully, we start to see a more consistent and obvious babyface or heel character from the Young Bucks instead of this ambiguous mess we\u2019ve been getting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S BTE REPORT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/01\/13\/1-11-being-the-elite-report-bullet-club-reunited-hardy-talks-business-with-private-party-statlander-abducts-garrison-and-more\/\">1\/11 BEING THE ELITE REPORT: \u201cBullet Club\u201d reunited, Hardy talks business with Private Party, Statlander abducts Garrison, and more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3631712341\"><div id=\"pwtor-3331413806\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>BEING THE ELITE EP. 239 \u2013 \u201cDUPED\u201d POSTED ON YOUTUBE.COM JANUARY 18, 2021 REPORT BY ZACH GRAHAM, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Watch It HERE.
