Don Callis had only just started gaslighting Kenny Omega when 'The Best Bout Machine's arrival triggered a chain of events that paid off weeks of teases, twists and turns just in time.
Omega hadn't yet finished battering Callis' security detail before The Blackpool Combat Club launched a four-on-one attack that brought The Young Bucks back out after they'd taken their own backstage beating earlier in the night. Anticipation built magnificently as the numbers left space for Hangman Page's epic return, and the Texas crowd roared their approval when Omega extended a violent olive branch in the form of a barbed wire broom.
The ensuing four-on-four decided to show what was on the docket for Double Or Nothing before Page told The BCC what was coming their way in Las Vegas. Being given the microphone and all the agency that entails, the former AEW Champion issued the challenge and confirmed that the company's middle initial was back to full strength. Anarchy In The Arena was at long last locked in, and for a refreshing change, The Elite were given a gloriously cathartic moment to live up to their prestigious name.
