The Elite vs. The New Day Match Was Closer to Happening Than Fans Realized

TLDR

Matt Jackson revealed on Being The Elite that The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega actively tried to make a match against The New Day happen in 2018, including a phone conversation with Triple H where they directly pitched the idea. According to Jackson, both sides were serious about the match, but he felt Triple H was more interested in recruiting The Elite to work for WWE rather than just doing the one-off match, and the dream match ultimately never materialized.
