The wrestling-themed skit show “Being an Elite” has been popular among fans, and there are talks of potentially bringing it back, along with the possibility of a feature film. During a recent stream, Matt Jackson hinted that some AEW executives are interested in reviving the show, and discussions about making “BTE: The Movie” are underway.
Matt Jackson revealed that they have even considered investing real money into creating a “Being the Elite” movie, mentioning he was recently contacted by someone but did not disclose who. The original “Being an Elite” series concluded in the latter half of 2023 after seven years. In a 2025 interview with Adi Shankar, Kenny Omega reflected on the show’s ending and his reluctance to restart it.
Omega questioned who would be negatively impacted by reviving the series, implying that no one would be harmed by such a move. While there’s no confirmed timeline for the show’s return or the film’s production, it appears these projects might not happen as soon as previously hoped.
Fan Take: This update is exciting news for AEW fans, as “Being an Elite” has always added a unique, entertaining dimension to the wrestling world. A potential movie would further showcase the personalities behind AEW, potentially drawing more eyes to the sport and enriching its storytelling.
