10 Most Fascinating Unanswered Questions In Wrestling

10. Did The Elite Fall Out In 2019?

AEW was originally booked by a committee featuring Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. It is also said that Brandi Rhodes held significant influence over the women's division after Omega's stint, which might - might - explain why it transformed overnight from a joshi-influenced scene to a vehicle for the Nightmare Collective as the big bad.

In a since-deleted tweet, Tony Khan revealed that he took full control over the book - albeit allowing talent to pitch and use their own expression within his framework - following the disaster that was the December 18, 2019 Dynamite. That was the culmination of a fairly dire, much criticised stretch of TV in which AEW went in a bizarre am-dram supernatural direction.

At its worst, it felt like the literal opposite of what was promised.

Dark Twitter whispers suggest that Cody fell out with Omega and the Bucks. Certainly, their visions differed. The Elite proceeded with their textured, continuing story, where Cody successfully rebooted, in effect, classic territorial storytelling. Both sides have maintained that there was no acrimonious fall-out, although, if you look for it, there is evidence to the contrary. Then again, that's what tends to happen when you look.

Cody all but disappeared from Being The Elite, and on one of the few episodes he did appear, he sheepishly asked Nick Jackson - who edits it - not to cut him out. Also: after 2019, Cody didn't share a ring once with either of the three men. A byproduct of Khan's rotating cast philosophy?

Or something more sinister?
