The Elite (professional wrestling)

{{see also|All In (2018)}}

Prior to the 2016 formation of The Elite, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) had known each other for years.{{cite magazine | url = https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/03/22/young-bucks-wwe-nxt-kenny-omega-new-japan-interview | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160325221714/http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/03/22/young-bucks-wwe-nxt-kenny-omega-new-japan-interview | title = Indie wrestling stars the Young Bucks are ready for anything, even the WWE | last=Barrasso | first=Justin | archive-date=March 25, 2016 | date=March 25, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | magazine=Sports Illustrated}} They originally met in Japan in 2008, when Omega was on his first tour with the DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) promotion and The Young Bucks were on their first tour with the Dragon Gate promotion.{{cite web | url = http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/17851597/kenny-omega-breaks-japan-wrestling-barriers-become-true-champion | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161022145002/http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/17851597/kenny-omega-breaks-japan-wrestling-barriers-become-true-champion | title = Kenny Omega breaks through Japan's wrestling barriers to become a true champion | last=Fiorvanti | first=Tim | archive-date=October 22, 2016 | date=October 22, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=ESPN}} They became close friends after later meetings in other promotions, including California promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). Omega has stated that the three had always thought that they shared the same brain, having the same thoughts about what a wrestling match should be. Matt Jackson has described the creative chemistry between the three as unlike anything they have experienced before, adding "There's magic there".

Omega, who has called The Young Bucks his best friends and closest allies in professional wrestling, has stated that the three have "an open line of communication sending messages all day". The Elite was created as a result of one of these "think-tank sessions", during which the three came up with the idea of filming their moments away from the ring and sharing them with their fans.{{cite magazine | url = https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/07/12/kenny-omega-new-japan-wwe-new-day-elite-young-bucks | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160713174339/http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/07/12/kenny-omega-new-japan-wwe-new-day-elite-young-bucks | title = The future Mr. WrestleMania: Kenny Omega on New Japan, WWE, New Day | last=Barrasso | first=Justin | archive-date=July 13, 2016 | date=July 12, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | magazine=Sports Illustrated}} These moments, some only loosely tied to professional wrestling, were used to create Being The Elite, a show produced by The Young Bucks and released on both Twitter and YouTube.{{cite magazine | url = https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/12/28/week-in-wrestling-young-bucks-open-up-about-2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161230142842/https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/12/28/week-in-wrestling-young-bucks-open-up-about-2016 | title = Week in Wrestling: The Young Bucks Open Up About 2016; The Year in Review | last=Barrasso | first=Justin | archive-date=December 30, 2016 | date=December 28, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | magazine=Sports Illustrated}}

In 2016, the three were affiliated with each other in NJPW as members of Bullet Club, but in Omega's words they felt that the stable had been watered down and wanted to create something new. Omega claimed that whenever people were saying that Bullet Club had been doing "some really cool stuff", they were in fact always talking about the three of them and not the other members of the stable. Wanting to be together both in the ring and outside of it, the three decided to go full-bore as The Elite. They had come up with the name The Elite as a joke years earlier, when trying to come up with a list of the most elite wrestlers in the world. Omega stated that he and The Young Bucks wanted to push themselves as The Elite, but accepted if NJPW continued calling them Bullet Club "in parentheses" as the stable was their "cash cow" and a "pop-culture phenomenon". Omega has described The Elite as "a place you can go to watch the most ridiculous and entertaining stuff in pro wrestling".{{cite magazine | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/sports/features/kenny-omega-has-conquered-japan-now-he-wants-the-new-day-20160224 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160301050310/http://www.rollingstone.com/sports/features/kenny-omega-has-conquered-japan-now-he-wants-the-new-day-20160224 | title = Kenny Omega Has Conquered Japan, Now He Wants the New Day | last=Oster | first=Aaron | archive-date=March 1, 2016 | url-status = live | date=February 24, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | magazine=Rolling Stone}}

On January 5, 2016, Omega took over the Bullet Club as its new leader, turning its members, including The Young Bucks, on previous figurehead A.J. Styles, kicking him out of the group.{{cite web | url = http://pwinsider.com/article/98816/aj-styles-nakamuranew-japan-updates.html?p=1 | title = AJ Styles & Nakamura-New Japan updates | last=Johnson | first=Mike | date=January 5, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}}{{cite news | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-new-years-dash-report-big-bullet-club-angle-never-trios-titles-defended-205001 | title = NJPW New Year's Dash report: Big Bullet Club angle, NEVER trios titles defended | last=Rose | first=Bryan | date=January 5, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} According to The Young Bucks, they and Omega created The Elite that night without ever asking permission from NJPW bookers. After the rest of Bullet Club had left the ring after turning on Styles, Omega allegedly asked The Young Bucks if just the three of them should return to the ring to continue the attack on Styles as a "signal to the audience that [they were] the three guys". The three agreed to return to the ring and The Elite was born.

During the first months of The Elite's existence, The Young Bucks, who were the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions when the group was formed, both lost and regained the title{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-beginnings-live-results-iwgp-heavyweight-championship-kazuchika-okada-vs-hirooki-goto | title = NJPW Beginnings live results: IWGP Heavyweight championship Kazuchika Okada vs Hirooki Goto | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | author-link=Dave Meltzer | date=February 11, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-dominion-live-results-tetsuya-naito-vs-kazuchika-okada-iwgp-hw-championship-214876 | title = NJPW Dominion live results: Tetsuya Naito vs Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP HW Championship | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | author-link=Dave Meltzer | date=June 18, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} while Omega did the same with the IWGP Intercontinental Championship.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-new-beginnings-hiroshi-tanahashi-vs-kenny-omega-iwgp-ic-title-207526 | title = NJPW New Beginnings: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Kenny Omega for the IWGP IC Title | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | author-link=Dave Meltzer | date=February 13, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} The Elite won its first title as a trio during the NJPW and Ring of Honor (ROH) co-produced Honor Rising: Japan 2016 show on February 20, when they defeated The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) and Toru Yano for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpwroh-honor-rising-jay-lethal-defends-roh-title-against-honma-207906 | title = NJPW/ROH Honor Rising: Jay Lethal defends ROH title against Honma | last=Rose | first=Bryan | date=February 20, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/509176/ | script-title=ja:前ＩＷＧＰタッグ王者アンダーソン組が新日マットに別れ | date=February 22, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=ja | archive-date=June 19, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619182158/http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/509176/ | url-status=dead }} They went on to defend the title in the United States for ROH.{{cite web | url = http://rohwrestling.com/news/results-are-roh-14th-anniversary | title = The Results are in from the ROH 14th Anniversary... | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Ring of Honor}} The Elite lost the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship to Hiroshi Tanahashi, Michael Elgin and Yoshitatsu on April 10 at Invasion Attack 2016,{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-invasion-attack-live-results-kazuchika-okada-vs-tetsuya-naito-iwgp-championship-210736 | title = NJPW Invasion Attack live results: Kazuchika Okada vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP Championship | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | author-link=Dave Meltzer | date=April 9, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/528960/ | script-title=ja:【新日・両国】首負傷から約１年半ぶり復帰 ヨシタツが６人タッグ王者に | date=April 11, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=ja | archive-date=August 12, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812140059/http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/528960/ | url-status=dead }} only to regain it from them on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2016.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-wrestling-dontaku-results-super-juniors-lineups-iwgp-champ-naito-vs-ishii-212111 | title = NJPW Wrestling Dontaku results: Super Juniors lineups; IWGP champ Naito vs. Ishii | last=Rose | first=Bryan | date=May 3, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/537262/ | script-title=ja:【レスリングどんたく】ケニー・オメガ 棚橋とラダーマッチで激突へ | date=May 4, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=ja | archive-date=August 12, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812140647/http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/537262/ | url-status=dead }} Their second reign ended on July 3, when they were defeated by Matt Sydal, Ricochet and Satoshi Kojima.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-kizuna-road-2016-live-results-katsuyori-shibata-defends-never-title-young-bucks-kenny | title = NJPW Kizuna Road 2016 live results: Katsuyori Shibata defends NEVER title, Young Bucks, Kenny Omega | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | author-link=Dave Meltzer | date=July 2, 2016 | access-date=May 16, 2017 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}

In January 2018 at The New Beginning in Sapporo, Omega was betrayed by Bullet Club stablemate Cody after shoving Matt Jackson and subsequently reunited with his former Golden Lovers partner Kota Ibushi, leaving the future of The Elite in jeopardy.

On March 28 at Strong Style Evolved, The Young Bucks faced off against the Golden Lovers in a losing effort. After the match, Nick Jackson shook hands and embraced with Omega, but Matt Jackson refused and rolled out of the ring.

During Omega and Cody's bout at Ring of Honor's Supercard of Honor XII on April 7, The Young Bucks interfered and attempted to turn on Cody, but instead accidentally superkicked Omega, causing Cody to get the pinfall victory. After the match, The Young Bucks attempted to explain what had happened to Omega, but he shoved Matt Jackson and left.

On the 100th episode of Being The Elite, "Finale", Omega declared their friendship over and that "There is no Elite" in anger over the Young Bucks' involvement in his match, apparently ending the stable for the time being while Scurll left to pursue a music career and The Young Bucks, Page and Burnard the Business Bear walked out on Cody's invitation to celebrate his win over Omega, leaving him alone in the locker room to ponder what he's done and what it cost.

On June 9 at NJPW's Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall, The Young Bucks won the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship and in the main event Omega won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. After the match, The Young Bucks came out, congratulated and hugged it out with Omega and Ibushi, thus mergering the Golden Lovers and Elite into a four-man team now named The Golden Elite.{{cite news|url=https://www.cagesideseats.com/2018/6/9/17444138/kenny-omega-kazuchika-okada-iwgp-heavyweight-championship-njpw-new-japan-dominion-young-bucks|title=Omega vs. Okada IV goes over an hour|work=Cageside Seats|date=June 9, 2018|access-date=November 2, 2018}}{{cite news|url=http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0609/641644/historic-title-change-at-njpw-dominion/|title=Historic Title Change At NJPW Dominion|work=WrestlingInc.com|date=June 9, 2018|access-date=November 2, 2018}}{{cite news|url=http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0609/641639/new-tag-champions-are-crowned-at-njpw-dominion/|title=New Tag Champions Are Crowned At NJPW Dominion|work=WrestlingInc.com|date=June 9, 2018|access-date=November 2, 2018}} At a press conference aired on NJPW World, Omega clarified that going forward "Ibushi is a member of the Elite," but not Bullet Club.{{cite web |title=2018年6月11日 二夜明け会見 |url=https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00485_3_1 |website=NJPW World |publisher=NJPW |page=@36:35 |quote="Ibushi is a member of The Elite"}}

On July 7, 2018, at G1 Special in San Francisco, Cody ended his rivalry with Omega after being attacked by the BC Firing Squad after he unsuccessfully challenged him for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

In July 2018 the Nick and Matt Jackson temporarily fractured from the Bullet Club and formed the "Alpha Club" with Chris Jericho (aka. "The Bucks of Jericho or is it Y2Jackson") which culminated in a one night match on the Jericho Cruise against the Bullet Club (represented by Omega, Cody, and Scurll) to reunite the group. On the Talk is Jericho podcast on October 30 following the match, Matt Jackson confirmed that Cody, Page, and Marty Scurll were now officially in The Elite, and that The Elite had fully split from Bullet Club, ending a civil war between the Bullet Club "OGs" and The Elite.{{cite news|url=https://www.prowrestling.com/the-elite-officially-confirms-they-are-no-longer-a-part-of-bullet-club/|title='The Elite' Officially Confirms They Are No Longer a Part of Bullet Club|date=October 30, 2018|access-date=November 2, 2018|archive-date=October 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181031005430/https://www.prowrestling.com/the-elite-officially-confirms-they-are-no-longer-a-part-of-bullet-club/|url-status=dead}}

On January 1, 2019, The Elite announced the formation of a new wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), as well as a follow-up to All In, called Double or Nothing. Their promotion was revealed to include Cody, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page, Pac, SoCal Uncensored, Joey Janela, Britt Baker, Penelope Ford, Brandi Rhodes, and Chris Jericho, among others.{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsweek.com/all-elite-wrestling-signings-announcements-1284365|title=Here's every signing and announcement from the AEW press conference|website=Newsweek|date=January 8, 2019}} The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega had their first match in AEW as The Elite at AEW Fyter Fest defeating Lucha Brothers and Laredo Kid.

In 2019, The Elite began a feud with Chris Jericho and later his Inner Circle stable, with Omega and Page losing to Jericho at AEW Double or Nothing and AEW All Out respectively.

At AEW Full Gear, Cody unsuccessfully challenged Jericho for the AEW World Championship with the condition that he will never challenge for title again while The Young Bucks lost to Santana and Ortiz. On the January 22, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite during Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea, Omega and Page defeated SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

On the November 18 episode of Being the Elite, Hangman Page attempted to part ways with the group,{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/aew-wrestler-tells-the-young-bucks-that-he-s-quitting-the-elite|title = AEW Wrestler tells the Young Bucks that he's quitting the Elite|date = November 18, 2019}} leading to months of tension between himself, the Young Bucks (especially Matt Jackson), and his tag partner Omega.

In a May 2020 interview, Cody Rhodes discussed the status of the Elite's members, stating that the 'OG' Elite (Bucks, Omega) will always determine who joins the group, and that it's "their world" that he's honored to take part in. He also clarified that Hangman Page and Marty Scurll were part of the "expanded universe" of the group, and that Matt Hardy also was an honorary member.{{cite web |title=Cody Rhodes Explains Why He Pushes 'Nightmare Family' So Hard, Why Matt Hardy Is 'Trial By Fire' Elite |url=https://www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/news/1187448-cody-rhodes-nightmare-family-matt-hardy-trial-by-fire |website=Wrestlezone |access-date=May 23, 2020 |date=May 22, 2020}} On the August 27 episode of AEW Dynamite, Page was officially kicked out of The Elite for costing The Young Bucks a future opportunity to challenge for Page and Omega's World Tag Team Championship.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/results/aew-dynamite-82720-results-live-coverage-discussion-8pm-est|title=AEW Dynamite 8/27/20 Results: A Tables Match, A Handicap Match, A Gauntlet Match & More!|website=Fightful}}

In April 2021, The Young Bucks, who had been wary of Omega's relationship with Callis, Gallows, and Anderson, would cement their commitment to Omega by turning on Jon Moxley during a six-man tag team match on Dynamite, when they wrestled against Omega, Anderson, and Gallows.

In September 2021, at All Out, The Young Bucks lost their AEW world tag team championships to Lucha Brothers in a Steel Cage. After Omega retained the AEW World championship against Christian Cage in a title match in the main event, the Elite came out to attack Cage.{{Cite web|last=Woodward|first=Hamish|date=2021-11-09|title=5 Wrestlers who pinned Kenny Omega in AEW|url=https://atletifo.com/wrestling/aew/5-wrestlers-who-pinned-kenny-omega-in-aew/|access-date=2021-11-09|website=Atletifo Sports|language=en-GB}} Jurassic Express ran in to aid Cage, but was outnumbered. The Elite was interrupted by the debuting Adam Cole, who hit the superkick to Jungle Boy, joining the Elite. As the Elite was about to end the show, the debuting Bryan Danielson attacked the Elite, aiding Cage and Jurassic Express. Danielson, Cage and Jurassic Express stood tall at the end of the show.

In October 2021, following Impact's Bound for Glory pay-per-view, it was reported that the partnership between AEW and Impact had ended, and with that, Gallows and Anderson quietly were removed from the Elite.[https://411mania.com/wrestling/more-on-the-end-of-the-aew-impact-wrestling-relationship-after-bound-for-glory/ More on the end of the AEW-Impact partnership - 411 Mania.com] After losing the AEW World Championship to Adam Page at Full Gear, Omega announced on the following Dynamite that he would be taking a leave of absence, leaving The Young Bucks to "hold down the fort".

After Omega successfully defended the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Cobb on the March 29 edition of Dynamite, the BCC ambushed and attacked Omega, only for BCC member Bryan Danielson to return, seemingly to aid Omega, only to attack him moments later, thus reuniting all 4 members of the Blackpool Combat Club.{{cite news | url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/kenny-omega-vs-jeff-cobb-iwgp-us-title-match-set-for-aew-dynamite | title=Kenny Omega vs. Jeff Cobb IWGP US title match set for AEW Dynamite | newspaper=Won/F4W - Wwe News, Pro Wrestling News, Wwe Results, Aew News, Aew Results | date=March 25, 2023 }}

Shortly after, The BCC attacked Omega before entering the ring, warning Omega that they had won the "war" against The Elite. This led to The Young Bucks and a returning "Hangman" Adam Page coming to the aid of Omega, attacking the BCC. In the ring, Page claimed that he, Omega, and The Young Bucks, were The Elite, leading to him re-joining the stable after a near 3-year absence.

Being The Elite, also known as BTE, debuted on YouTube in May 2016 and has since aired on average once or twice a week. The show was originally shot and edited entirely on an iPhone with the members of The Elite holding complete creative control over the content. As the show gained popularity, the production process changed to include nicer cameras as well as editing being done on a computer. Originally intended as a promotional vehicle and a video journal of The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega's life on the road, it has since evolved into a hybrid that also includes skits and storyline developments involving both The Elite and Bullet Club. In early 2017, Being The Elite provided the background for an angle that culminated at War of the Worlds in May with The Elite turning on Adam Cole and kicking him out of Bullet Club. While ROH had previously shown that there was tension between Cole and The Young Bucks, Being The Elite went deeper into the background for the angle with a storyline that involved tension between Cole and Omega and their fight for The Young Bucks' loyalty while also introducing Scurll, who would go on to become Cole's replacement in Bullet Club.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/19590596/kenny-omega-young-bucks-changed-game-being-elite|title=Blurring the Lines: How Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks changed the game with 'Being the Elite'|last1=Fiorvanti|first1=Tim|last2=Wonsover|first2=Michael|date=June 12, 2017|work=ESPN|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170615164757/http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/19590596/kenny-omega-young-bucks-changed-game-being-elite|archive-date=June 15, 2017|access-date=June 15, 2017}}

On January 1, 2019, an episode of Being The Elite was used to announce the formation of a new wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), as well as a follow-up to All In, called Double or Nothing. Since the formation of AEW, the show has also advanced AEW storylines, debuted new signees, and promoted upcoming AEW shows.

Being the Elite went on hiatus in September 12, 2022, after The Elite's suspension due to their altercation with CM Punk.{{cite tweet |author=Being the Elite |user=BeingTheElite |number=1569505633145339904 |date=September 12, 2022 |title=No #BeingTheElite this week.

Being the Elite went on hiatus once more after Episode 368 was uploaded on October 9, 2023; Being The Dark Order, focused on the Dark Order stable, debuted on the channel on November 27. In between the last episode of BTE before the hiatus and the debut of Being The Dark Order, various clips from the series were reuploaded as YouTube Shorts in addition to new clips.{{cite tweet |author=Being the Elite |user=BeingTheElite |number=1729196806721155121 |date=November 27, 2023 |title=🟣Dark Order has taken over BTE!🟣
