Following a six-man tag team match that saw the Elite take down Dante Martin, Matt Sydal, & Mike Sydal, Christian Cage made his way down to the ring, interrupting Don Callis and Omega in their celebration.
After going back and forth on the microphone for a bit, Cage revealed that he had spoken to Tony Khan and IMPACT Wrestling executive Scott D’Amore, and that he had also gotten himself a match for the IMPACT World Championship, which he’ll be battling Kenny Omega for at Friday’s episode of AEW Rampage, leaving Callis and Omega stunned and at a loss for words.
Before the Elite could say much else, Jurassic Express — who had come down to the ring to help Christian — got on the mic, with Jungle Boy saying that he had also spoken with Tony Khan, and revealed that Jurassic Express would be getting an AEW Tag Team Championships shot against the Young Bucks at next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
The hits keep coming for #TheElite – the @youngbucks defend their #AEW World Tag Team titles against #JurassicExpress NEXT WEDNESDAY on #AEWDynamite from Houston!
