The Young Bucks recently wrestled FTR in a ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at the Dynasty pay-per-view. The Executive Vice Presidents managed to defeat Harwood and Wheeler thanks to some help from Jack Perry.
Prior to the ladder match, The Young Bucks sat down for an interview with Fannation. During the interview, The Bucks mentioned that the ladder match is their cup of tea. The duo also reflected on their previous encounters with the former WWE Tag Team Champions.
“This kind of match, it’s our forte,” said Matt Jackson. “Chin-locks and quick tags aren’t going to help FTR much when my crazy, angry brother is throwing ladders at them.
“Our match in Boston doesn’t get enough love,” said Nick Jackson, referring to the second bout between the two teams, which took place on a Dynamite in Boston in April of 2022. “It’s one of the best and hottest TV main events I remember Dynamite ever having. But it’s hard to compare with the All In [this past August] one because that was so special doing it in front of 81,000 fans.
“The first one [in 2020] was so special, too. It was the first time we won AEW gold, and for me personally, it was meaningful because Covid had just really hit me hard. Being able to do that match when, for a minute, I actually thought I wouldn’t be able to perform the same ever, that meant a lot to me. In short, I love them all.”
The Young Bucks on Kazuchika Okada
During the same interview, Nick and Matt Jackson shared their thoughts on the current AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada.
“Okada is world-class,” said Matt Jackson. “He is, pound-for-pound, the greatest big match wrestler to ever live. And the best thing about Okada is, he’ll be in the back moments before a huge high stakes match, absolutely confident and cool as a cucumber. That’s the energy he puts off–he doesn’t even have to say it. He shows it simply by just standing there and existing. He doesn’t know what anxiety is. Zero trepidation. Zero negative thoughts.
“I am so happy and fortunate that an animal like him is on our side and not the opposing team. He’s also so unselfish and giving. He knows that he’s in a team and we can all benefit and enjoy the success together as one. It’s super early, but I would say he’s so much of a better, more natural fit in The Elite than Kenny Omega ever was.”
Okada was victorious in his match against PAC at AEW Dynasty, while the Bucks won the AEW World Tag Team Championship on the show.
