The 179th episode of The Elite’s hit YouTube series Being The Elite features unseen footage from last week’s AEW Dynamite and Saturday’s Full Gear pay-per-view.
The show starts with an off-air moment from a recent AEW tapings where Cody and The Young Bucks are seen throwing shirts into the crowd and then they celebrate a fan’s birthday in the ring.
This segment is followed by the opening sequence of the show and then we see the Young Bucks waiting for their flight at an airport and they mock WWE’s recent travel debacle overseas in Saudi Arabia after Crown JEwel.
The Bucks talk about the “elephant in the room” – a reference to how Corey Graves the travel snafu last week on WWE’s After The Bell podcast.

While delayed at the airport, they refer to a “hostage situation” and being stuck in a “lawless desert” – clear references to Saudi Arabia. Matt points out that they’re actually just laid over in Dallas, TX and will be boarding their flight very soon.
Nick continues joking, “I might not be able to see my kids ever again. I’m scared to death, it could be up to 24 hours that we’re stuck here.”
The segment appears to be over, but then Matt is shown prompting Nick to make a few statements that resemble a hostage-style video. In a robotic tone, Nick says, “Due to mechanical issues, this flight has been delayed.”
Another brief clip is shown of Matt prompting Nick to say, “Please refrain from listening to all the dirt sheets.” This is a reference to WWE’s forceful pushback against Dave Meltzer and other journalists covering the story.
