Early Thursday, The Elite group reunited as a whole for the first time in three years. The group will combine forces to face Blackpool Combat Club (BCC) in Anarchy in the Arena match for All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) "Double or Nothing" (DoN).

In the latest AEW Dynamite episode, Adam "Hangman" Page defended his former friends, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks against the assault of the BCC.

Page, Omega, and the Bucks were close friends, until they turned their back on Hangman, and betrayed him.

Hangman took revenge as he combined forces with the Dark Order, and captured the AEW World title from Omega in 2021.

Omega was out of action for almost a year, before returning with the Young Bucks to capture the AEW Trios title last year.

After their match against the Jericho Appreciation Society and House of Black, the assault by the BCC against the Dark Order and Hangman expanded to the ring, where the trio stand behind Hangman face to face against BCC's Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli. 

During some episodes of Being the Elite, a lot of intimate memories and talks were displayed for Hangman, Omega, and Bucks.

Hangman was out of action due to a destructive attack by Mox.

The Cowboy returned early Thursday and reunited with the Elite once again. He said in a short promo: "We are the heart and spirit of this place...we are The Elite."

Goosebumps. Absolute chills. Nobody is doing it better than these guys.

After that, he announced 8-Man Anarchy in the Arena match for DoN.

The forthcoming Anarchy in the Arena will be the second in a row for DoN. Also, it will be the second participation of the BCC in the match. Last year's match was rated as 5-star match by Dave Meltzer.
