## Story

Bullet Club are eating in their usual Tokyo hangout of TGI Friday's. Matt pans around the table and we see Cody, Nick, Hangman and Marty Scurll. Matt asks how Marty is feeling and Marty flips out. He says that he's only missed one episode of *Being The Elite* and everything has gone crazy. Marty claims that he is so stressed that his hair has gone grey, removing his hat to show his dyed hair. Marty then turns to his right and says that to make matters worse, Flip Gordon is there as Marty knocks off Flip's hat. Flip says that Nick invited him as everyone starts laughing. The opening credits run.

Chico El Luchador is backstage with The Young Bucks. Chico shows them his new t-shirt and Matt and Nick ask if they can have one. The Bucks ask for size medium but Chico rips the XL labels out of two shirts and hands them over. Matt and Nick put them on but are confused when they are really baggy. The Bucks are about to depart when Chico asks for some money for the shirts. He says they cost AUS $100 each. Nick hands over the cash as they make their excuses and leave.

Kenny Omega is sat alone at a hotel reception. Quentin Kenihan appears and introduces himself as the guy from *Mad Max*. Quentin asks what is going on with Kenny, The Young Bucks and Ring of Honor. Kenny says that he doesn't want to talk about it so Quentin suggests that thye go to get some non-alcoholic beers.

Matt is on a flight and is crying as he watches *Casablanca* on the in-flight entertainment. Matt and Nick are then in Tokyo travelling in a cab. They talk about their hectic travel schedule over recent weeks. Mat says that theyr have been on a plane virtually every day for a month and talks about the Australian tour where they kept havin to catch early monrning flights. After Australia they flew home for 36 hours before headin back to Japan which is where they are now.

Matt and Nick are with Flip, showing him the sights of Japan. They are stood in front of the Tokyo Dome and Flip says it would be great to wrestle there one day. The Bucks agree and say he needs to keep working hard. Cody shows up and says Flip will never wrestle there, he isn't booked for *All In* and the earth is round.

Matt and Nick are being interviewed by Kevin Kelly at the Korakuan Hall and he asks if they are going to start wrestling in the heavyweight division. Before they can answer the camera moves across the hall to where Cody is listening in with his super hearing. Elsewhere Adam Page is hanging Flip off a balcony and shouting "Welcome to New Japan Pro Wrestling". Matt runs up and pulls Hangman away and asks what he is doing. Page says that he is doing the "Where do you think you're going?" bit but Matt says that they don't do it any more, and haven't included it for almost 25 episodes. Hangman asks if they are still putting Joey Ryan's dick on the show as he storms off. Matt offers his hand to Flip but the young wrestler says that he still isn't ready to do that just yet. One of Page's cowboy boots flys across the shot as they walk off.

Joey Ryan is at home showering and doing his hair. He stands in the street with a sign reading "Touch my dick" but is getting no response. He eventually angrily throws the sign into the trash and grabs his urine jug and walks off into the distance.

Back in Japan, Kenny and Kota Ibushi are warming up in their dressing room. Matt and Nick arrive and say they need to talk to Kenny. Kenny looks suprised and says he needs to go to his match but The Bucks say they need to talk to him now. Ibushi ushers Omega from the room as he promised to talk to Matt and Nick later. Cut to images from the show that night as The Golden Lovers are victorious. Backstage Cody is with the Young Bucks as they can hear Kenny in the ring talking about how he and Ibushi are the best tag team in the world. Cody encourages Matt and Nick to confront Kenny, and smiles deviously as they head off. Images from the confrontation follows as Matt announces that he and Nick are becoming heavyweights.

Later back in Kenny's dressing room, Matt and Nick are pumped after their announcement. Nick says that they should have told Kenny in advance but Matt counters that they tried. Kenny and Kota appears and Kenny asks why the Bucks blindsided him in the ring. Matt wants to know why Kenny isn't congratulating them and Kenny says he is, as they are legendary and the greatest Junior Heavyweight tag teams of all time. Matt reacts to the word junior again. Kenny want's to know where this is coming from and says it is like listening to Cody. This enrages Matt still further and he says that for years he and Nick had put Kenny and the Bullet Club first but now they are doing something for themselves. Mat says that he and Nick have had Kenny's back through every match and ask in those ten years where Ibushi had been? The Bucks storm out and Omega and Ibushi talk disconsolately in Japanese.
