Matt Jackson Comments on Future of Being The Elite & If Series Has Fully Returned

As noted before, The Young Bucks’ Matt & Nick Jackson revived their Being The Elite series this past August following an almost two-year abscense.

Undisputed’s Justin Barrasso held a recent interview with Matt Jackson. One of the topics discussed included Jackson’s thoughts about the future of the Being The Elite series and if the series had fully returned.

“We’re playing it by ear. We’ve been very careful not to publicly say it’s back officially or even call what we’ve aired as episodes. We’re referring to it all as BTE content. It’s getting a positive reaction, for sure. We don’t want to overpromise, but we’re definitely having a lot of fun with it.”
