The Elite reunited at AEW Full Gear following a chaotic $1 million trios match that saw The Young Bucks turn against Don Callis.

Although Matt and Nick Jackson were victorious alongside their partner Josh Alexander, the post-match scene saw them reject Callis and reconcile with Kenny Omega.

After The Young Bucks and Alexander defeated Omega and Jurassic Express (Jack Perry & Luchasaurus), Callis entered the ring with Mark Davis, Hechicero, El Clon, and Rocky Romero, carrying bags of cash representing the prize money. As Callis attempted to lead the Jacksons away to celebrate, the rest of The Don Callis Family attacked Omega in the ring.

Initially hesitant, Matt and Nick Jackson responded to “You Sold Out” chants by dropping their money bags and rushing back to the ring. The brothers delivered superkicks to the Family members, clearing the ring alongside Jurassic Express.

Once the dust settled, Jurassic Express checked on Omega before shaking hands with the Bucks. When Omega rose to his feet, Matt and Nick offered him a handshake. Omega slapped their hands away and instead embraced his longtime friends, signaling a full reunion as the crowd chanted “Hug It Out.”

The segment ended with The Elite and Jurassic Express standing tall while a furious Callis retreated with the money.

The match itself played out with significant friction between the winning team. The Young Bucks, dressed in gear adorned with money and frills paid for by Callis, were reluctant partners to Alexander at times. Late in the match, when Alexander attempted to tag out to escape Omega, the Bucks refused, forcing him to stay in the ring.

Omega appeared to hurt his left knee during a slingshot crossbody early in the bout, an injury Alexander targeted relentlessly. The action broke down into a series of high-impact moves, including a sequence where the Bucks accidentally superkicked Alexander off the apron, leading to Omega hitting him with a One Winged Angel on the floor.

Despite the infighting, the finish came when Matt Jackson countered a backslide attempt by Jack Perry. This allowed the Bucks to execute the BTE Trigger on Perry, with Nick Jackson securing the pinfall to win the match and the $1 million prize.
