3. Flip Gordon
On the surface, it seems like the Elite doesn't much like Flip Gordon. They put him down on social media, tease him about his youth and relative inexperience, and even rip on his name for being 'cheesy' (this from guys who think tye dye still flies in 2019.)
However, if you look past the surface you'll note that there is actually a lot of respect from Cody and the Bucks toward Flip Gordon. After all, they booked him to win the hilariously entitled "Over Budget Battle Royal" at the first All In Event.
Gordon has a lot in common with the Elite; He's a smaller, quicker athlete, he came up through Ring of Honor and the independents, and he's enjoyed a lot of success at a relatively young age. But does that mean he has a job waiting for him with AEW?
Chances of him signing with AEW: about 70-30. The Elite might like to have him, but he has contractual obligations with Ring of Honor. If ROH is okay with him working for both promotions, and ROH is on pretty good terms with the Elite, then he could be a great future star for their fledgling company.
