Since this is too buried beneath the other comments in the punk scrum thread, it deserves it's own.
What do you think the pay off will be for this?( or Endgame if you well )
I was expecting The Elite to be brought back as sudden surprise appearances, but looks like an angle is being made for this. I can see them being mad that they were thrown under the bus or something like that.

Elite vs. Death Triangle for the Trios titles at Full Gear seems like a good way to reset the Elite's reintroduction to the company. I dunno if they want to trudge up all the bullshit surrounding why they were gone for a couple months. Maybe some vague references in their return promo.

I'll be so happy when Kenny is back but I really hope they don't mention any of the Fight nonsense. Or if they have to, I hope its just on their return

I dunno, the Thanos bit makes me feel like they may just bring the Elite back thinking they're still Trios champs with a few winks of the camera and that's that.

I think they kind of have to at least acknowledge what went down. Having them come back all the sudden without explanation would be dumb because there's the question of why they had to drop the titles. Making up a story reason why they were gone wouldn't make sense since everyone and their brother knows what went down and would probably drown out promos with anti-Punk chants.

TK better be kissing their feet for coming back at all.
If I were them I'd be pissed a dude was dogging us at a Scrum and while he was calling us worthless, and shitty at our jobs, my boss was sitting next to him nodding yes.
Granted it could have been TK being his awkward self just nodding along, but on the outside it looked like he was nodding in agreement since he didn't nod at everything, and most of the time sat their like an abused spouse afraid to say anything else.
Not to mention how Tony was (supposedly) CM Punk's puppet for months, had his ear, and was trying to wrest control of the company away from the dudes who started it.
I'd want to be like "f*** you dude, watch us debut at the Rumble in January."
I get they helped start the company, and want to see it through, but the reactionary side of me would want to jump ship.
All that being said I did dig the video package. Whomever did it did a good job.

Apparently it was Punk's birthday yesterday too.
This had to have been deliberate.

I'm thinking since they erased the E in AEW as well it will end up as a hype thing that "it can't be All Elite Wrestling without the Elite... Who return at Full Gear" and they move on like they got injured or had some introspection to do.

The greatest reintroduction of a character was when Pee-wee Herman opened the VMAs and said “Heard any good jokes lately?” It acknowledged what happened, it was a great line and then it was over. Paul Reubens and Pee-wee have been fine every since.
Just do that. Make a joke and then move on. Do not make another corny insider angle.

Exactly. You want to acknowledge it without plunging too hard into inside baseball. Give us a wink wink yeah I know you know kind of gesture and be done with it.
Literally the only reason I would be okay with this turning into a full-on angle would be if Punk was genuinely contrite about what happened, but after the Definitely Deliberate Dog-Door Denunciation from yesterday, I'm not particularly convinced that's ever going to happen.

Hangman referring to his friends "Disappearing" and then a video package of them literally disappearing seems like it might have legs
I hope they go the fantastic route and claim they were vanished by some mysterious, magical force but managed to break free and are now back to business (This sounds more like a BTE thing than a on screen thing, but one can dream)

People missing the obvious, here: the dissolve effect means Kenny's finally going to get that Stargate gimmick he's wanted for so long.

I think it might be about a villain or villainous group wanting to erase the Elite.

Loved the thanos-snappening bit they did with it. Genuinely no clue how they’re gonna go about bringing them back and that’s exciting.

Apparently they were backstage last night and everyone was pretty happy to see them. Now it's just a matter of finding a way to get them back into the product.
Hopefully we won't have to wait five years for Adam Page to blip them back into existence.
