Following AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts in Boston Wednesday, Kenny Omega cut an off air promo which resulted in The Golden Elite and the Blackpool Combat Club shaking hands in a show of respect that marked the end of their long feud.
Omega also mentioned sticking with The Elite “wherever these guys go” in a line that has raised some speculation.
In the video seen below, Omega took the microphone a few minutes after Dynamite went off air and said that they could keep the feud going between them but that The Golden Elite respects them.
“If you guys want, I’ll shorten my career, I’ll shorten my life to keep this fight alive. But I’m willing to stick my hand out and shake yours if you guys will let bygones be bygones,” he said, followed by him mentioning each BCC member including Bryan Danielson and his respect for each of them.
“If you guys want to keep doing it, so help me God, I’ll keep doing it. But I’m gonna do it with a newfound respect for each and every one of you. I’m gonna stick my hand out, just this once, just this once, as a sign of respect because I respect the hell out of you guys,” he said.
Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli then begrudgingly shook the hands of all Golden Elite members.
After they left, Omega continued to address the crowd and the Golden Elite members, saying among other things, “As long as I am an active performer in professional wrestling, I’m gonna go wherever these guys go.”
As discussed on Wrestling Observer Radio, that line has people talking given Omega and The Young Bucks’ current contract status with their deals up at the end of the year according to Dave Meltzer.
Meltzer said a lot of things can happen between now and then and that there’s a lot of ways things can go. As previously reported, AEW head Tony Khan is trying to sign all three men to new deals.
