One big thing: Matt Taven hints at unfinished business with The Young Bucks in AEW
Matt Taven of The Undisputed Kingdom recently suggested a potential rematch with The Young Bucks in AEW, rekindling a long-standing rivalry from their Ring of Honor days.
• Taven and Mike Bennett have yet to face The Young Bucks in AEW despite being with the promotion for over a year
• The teams have a history dating back to their time in Ring of Honor
• Taven claims there’s “bad blood” stemming from The Young Bucks’ departure from ROH in 2018
Why it matters
A rematch between these teams could reignite a fan-favorite rivalry and potentially lead to a high-profile tag team feud in AEW.
By the numbers
• The Undisputed Kingdom (then known as The Kingdom) won their first ROH World Tag Team Championships from The Young Bucks
• The Young Bucks are the current AEW World Tag Team Champions
What they’re saying
Taven on the potential matchup:
We’ve been feuding for almost a decade now, and we had quite the rivalry in Ring of Honor, but the day it pops up in [AEW], we’ve got some bad blood going all the way back to 2018 when they decided to start this whole endeavor.”
The big picture
The teased rematch highlights the rich history many AEW wrestlers share from their time in other promotions, particularly Ring of Honor. These backstories provide fertile ground for compelling storylines and matchups in AEW.
What’s next
While no official plans have been announced, Taven’s comments suggest The Undisputed Kingdom is eyeing The Young Bucks’ AEW World Tag Team Championships.
