Masa has done the dirty

**Who poisoned Nick?** was a short storyline from Season One of the YouTube show Being The Elite, created by The Young Bucks.

## Storyline

### The Kayfabe

While in Osaka, Japan, Nick Jackson left his bag under a table in a restaurant. When he returned a few minutes later to retrieve it the bag was gone. Although there is little petty crime in Japan someone had removed the bag and with it Nick's money and passport which was inside. Matt and Nick have to go to the US consulate to try and get a new passport for Nick to enable him to continue with their current tour. Nick is able to get a temporary passport but once they get back to the United States, Matt and Nick relaise tha Nick's car keys were also in the bag so they are unable to get home.

A few weeks later, back in the US, Flip Gordon finds a backpack in his dressing room with his name attached to it. Flip thinks it's a gift but when he opens it he finds Nick's money and passport. The note is from The Revival and Flip panics as the rival tag team were supposed to keep the stolen goods. Flip desparately tries to get The Revival to take the bag back as he doesn't want to upset Matt and Nick any further, but they don't want to know.

Flip tries to keep his secret but it is revealed that two months earlier, Cody had overheared Masa on the phone to Flip, and had heard Masa tell Flip that he had stolen Nick's money and passport as Flip had asked. Instead of telling The Young Bucks what had happened, Cody decides to enact his own plan. Cody murders Masa, switching his drink for a poisoned one intended for Tama Tonga, and begins to blackmail Flip.

Cody tells Flip that he will spill Flip's secret unless Flip helps Cody in his schemes against Kenny Omega. Flip reluctantly agrees and tries to murder Kenny, but Cody intervenes to make it look as if he is on Kenny's side. Flip eventaully tries to come clean to Matt and Nick, but Cody prevents him from telling the full story. Flip does finally come to a truce with The Bucks, and the truth about the bag is never revealed.

### The Shoot

Nick did actaully have his bag stolen while in Japan and the initial events were as portrayed onscreen. Similarly to Nick's bout of food poisoning, The Young Bucks decided to work the event into several of the ongoing storylines in the show. Flip Gordon had been mercilessly ribbed by Bullet Club and wanted some revenge, and The Revival were wanting payback for the ongoing "Fuck The Revival!" segments. The biggest impact of the storyline was on Cody however as he was shown to be manipulative and willing to commit murder in his fued with Kenny Omega as he tried to win control of Bullet Club.

## Notes

* Although Masa is murdered by Cody as a result of his part in the theft, Masa comes back to life a few months later and contines in the show.
