On Friday’s episode of AEW Rampage, Dark Order defeated The Elite (“Hangman” Adam Page & Young Bucks) in a Trios Match, after interference from Konosuke Takeshita & ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli.
Matt Hardy tweeted the following after this match:
“Dark Order vs. The Elite was a fantastic match. It’s nice to see Dark Order earn such a well deserved spotlight.
The Young Bucks & Adam Page are extraordinary talents that will unfortunately get their flowers way later than they should.”
A fan replied:
“Matt’s right though. I know it’s cool to hate on The Bucks and Hangman if you’re a CM Punk/Collision fan but not from me. Give those guys their flowers.”
Matt saw this and responded with the following tweet:
“Between this & the toxic Cornette cult, these guys don’t get the adoration that they truly deserve.
The diehard Elite fans are phenomenal & get why they’re special, but there’s a huge chunk of fans that fail to give them the credit they deserve.
Give these guys their flowers.”
Due to the real-life heat between CM Punk and The Elite (Kenny Omega, Young Bucks & “Hangman” Adam Page), Punk won’t be appearing on Dynamite & Rampage, and will just appear on Collision.
Since his return to AEW TV in June 2023, Punk has only appeared on Dynamite once and mentioned on TV that he originally wasn’t supposed to be here.
On the other hand, The Elite will only appear on Dynamite & Rampage. They haven’t made a single appearance on Collision yet.
