Being The Elite has become a major success for The Young Bucks and their brethren and with a quarter of a million YouTube subscribers, the internet show previously played a major role in helping to promote ALL IN for over a year. On Halloween, the one-hundred and twenty-third episode of the show was released and while it was largely a comedic endeavor -- spoofing the classic "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" program -- it did address the “promise” that Cody previously made at the conclusion of ALL IN.

That pledge was that The Elite -- Cody, Kenny Omega, Adam Page, Marty Scurll, and The Young Bucks -- would be staying together come the new year, no matter where they may end up. At the conclusion of the episode, Kenny kidnapped all of his cohorts and forced them together in a parody of the film Human Centipede.

It seems that independent wrestling’s hottest group is committed to staying true to that promise made on 1 September. And while their camaraderie will keep them at each other's side, the question still remains: where exactly are they headed in 2019?
