Young Bucks Spotted Backstage at AEW Dynamite: Return Plans in Development

One Big Thing

The Young Bucks were present backstage at AEW Dynamite in Oceanside, California on February 26, marking their first known appearance at an AEW event since October 2024.

Key Details

• Matt and Nick Jackson have been absent from AEW TV since October 30, 2024
• Their last appearance showed them shredding documents and telling Christopher Daniels they would “work from home”
• AEW is actively developing plans for their return to television
• The brothers recently completed a brief run in Japan, winning and losing the IWGP Tag Team Championships

By The Numbers

• 4 months absence from AEW programming
• 37 days as IWGP Tag Team Champions (January-February 2024)
• 2nd reign as IWGP Tag Team Champions

Why It Matters

The Young Bucks’ return could significantly impact AEW’s tag team division and overall programming. As Executive Vice Presidents and founding members of AEW, their presence both on-screen and backstage carries substantial weight for the company’s direction.

What’s Next

Despite their backstage appearance, no concrete timeline exists for their television return. Their status as company executives ensures they won’t face the common issue of being cleared but unused, unlike other talent.
