Though they were suspended for their participation in the brawl that took place after AEW All Out, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega returned to the company at AEW Full Gear and began a best of seven series against Death Triangle.
On the January 11th episode of Dynamite, the series culminated in an Escalera de la Muerte ladder match that saw The Elite victorious, crowning them the AEW Trios Champions for a second time as they were stripped of the titles following AEW All Out.
Now, a new tease on the latest episode of AEW Dark Elevation indicates the group may be looking to add another young star to their ranks, similar to the way Chris Jericho has taken in Daniel Garcia as part of the Jericho Appreciation Society.
Don Callis Invited Konosuke Takeshita To Join Kenny Omega And The Young Bucks In The Elite
On the January 16th episode of AEW Dark Elevation, Konosuke Takeshita was about to be interviewed about his highly praised AEW Dynamite match with Bryan Danielson when he was interrupted by Don Callis, who praised the rising star for the star-making performance against Danielson. However, Callis said that he believes Takeshida needs help focusing his energy in order to secure more wins, noting that both he and Kenny Omega are big fans of the star’s work.
“It was a fantastic match. It was also in my opinion, a match you should have won. But you’re on a 17 hour jetlag, but you’re trying to find a house in America, but you’re dealing with all your work issues and your family issues. And by the way, oh yeah, he wrestled four times in two days at the BOLA tournament, then went and wrestled Bryan Danson, one of the best wrestlers in the world. It’s too much for anyone.
“Kenny Omega used to do stuff like that a couple of years ago, and then I started advising him and we avoid those things. You see, losses aren’t experiences Takeshita, losses are losses and eventually if you lose enough, no matter how talented you are, there’s nothing left. Your problem is not talent; your problem is you need help. And I’m just telling you straight talk because Kenny and I think you’re great.
“You give me a call. You think about it. We’re here to help. Just think, just think.”
"Your problem's not talent; your problem is that you need help." @TheDonCallis lays out an enticing offer for @Takesoup; will Takeshita accept?
