Breaking: Young Bucks Exit AEW TV Following Title Loss – Here’s What’s Next

One Big Thing

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are taking a planned hiatus from AEW television following their tag team title loss to Private Party on Dynamite, marking the end of their current storyline.

Why It Matters

This departure comes at a pivotal moment for AEW’s tag team division and could signal a significant shift in The Elite storyline, especially with Kenny Omega’s impending return to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW).

By The Numbers

• The Young Bucks are 4-time AEW Tag Team Champions
• Their recent contract renewal allows for limited yearly appearances
• The Tokyo Dome’s Wrestle Dynasty event is set for January 5, 2024

Behind The Scenes

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reports:
• The Bucks’ TV absence is temporary, not permanent
• They signed new AEW contracts with reduced appearance schedules
• Tony Khan reportedly isn’t interested in paying for additional appearances beyond their contracted dates

What’s Next

• The Bucks are scheduled for Wrestle Dynasty at the Tokyo Dome
• Potential match against Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kenny Omega
• Event will feature talent from NJPW, CMLL, ROH, and AEW

Between The Lines

The handshake with Private Party and document-shredding exit suggest a possible character evolution upon their return, rather than a complete departure from AEW.
