Kenny Omega Reunites With The Elite on AEW Dynamite Tribute to PAC

Kenny Omega made his return to AEW Dynamite during the company’s special Tribute to PAC episode, teaming back up with Adam Page and the Young Bucks for an eight-man tag team match against the Don Callis Family. The show aired Wednesday, September 30, reuniting one of the most influential factions in modern wrestling history, if only for one night.

The Elite’s reunion carries extra weight given the circumstances of the tribute show, which was built around honoring PAC, a performer closely tied to the group’s legacy and to AEW’s original roster of international stars. Bringing Omega, Page, and the Bucks together against Don Callis’s stable gives the night a sense of full-circle symmetry — Callis has spent years positioning himself as the chief antagonist to Omega’s old circle, so putting both sides in the ring for a tribute show adds real emotional stakes beyond nostalgia.

Omega’s AEW appearances have become increasingly rare in recent years as he’s dealt with injuries and scaled back his in-ring schedule, so any sighting of him teaming with Page and the Bucks draws instant attention from fans who remember The Elite as the backbone of AEW’s launch. Page, who has long since become a singles star and former AEW World Champion in his own right, hasn’t regularly aligned with his old running mates, making this pairing feel like a genuine reunion rather than a formality. The Young Bucks, for their part, remain tied to the company’s executive structure as well as its product, giving the eight-man tag a layered subtext about who actually controls AEW’s direction both on screen and off.

Whether this reunion extends beyond a single tribute episode remains to be seen. AEW has leaned on nostalgia pairings before without committing to long-term reunions, and Omega’s health and scheduling have made him an unpredictable presence on weekly television. Still, pitting a reassembled Elite against the Don Callis Family on a night dedicated to PAC suggests the promotion wanted its biggest emotional statement of the show to come from its most historically significant alliance.

Fans will be watching closely to see whether this was a one-off tribute moment or the first sign of something more permanent building toward future AEW storylines.
