10 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Fight For The Fallen (Jul 15)

6. Doused: Redux

Kenny Omega beer

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega offered FTR an olive branch last night. Omega brought a cooler of beer out following Dax and Cash's win over the Lucha Brothers, looking to make amends after literally pouring one out a couple of weeks ago. Things went well at first, with a toast surely in order, before FTR poured their own bevs over Omega's head.

There was another Elite tension tease later in the show as FTR pulled up at the bar from which Hangman Page was watching Kenny and the Bucks wrestle Jurassic Express. That Hangman is buddying-up with these dudes while his stablemates clash with them will only breed more teases down the line.

This stuff is really, really well done, and they aren't battering you over the head with it either. The Elite have always had a nuanced relationship in AEW and the FTR work, coupled with the increased Four Horsemen teases (I see you, Tully Blanchard) provided delicious hints of what's to come.
