12 Biggest Stories From Ring Of Honor's Final Battle - And What They Mean For 2019

3. An Elite Farewell

Once Final Battle had gone off the air, The Young Bucks gave a short farewell speech to the live crowd in the Hammerstein Ballroom. They were joined in the ring by Cody, Marty Scurll, Hangman Page, and all of SoCal Uncensored as Matt Jackson took the microphone.

He thanked the crowd as well as numerous people backstage, saying that ROH made their careers. He told Cary Silkin, who stood ringside, that he loved him before teasing fans about The Elite’s future -- asking if they were "All Elite". Chants of “Double or Nothing” rang out in reference to the proposed title of a possible second ALL IN event. Matt ended his speech by telling everyone that they “will be back [in New York City].” Finally, The Elite and SCU joined hands in the ring in a moment reminiscent of The Kliq's "Curtain Call" over two decades prior in Madison Square Garden

What exactly lies ahead is unknown, but All Elite Wrestling -- their own promotion -- has been rumored, as well as more ALL IN events. However, the only thing certain is that Cody, Hangman Page, and The Young Bucks have officially ended their tenures with Ring of Honor.
