The Young Bucks are an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of brothers Matthew Massie and Nicholas Massie, who perform under the ring names Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson. As of January 2019, they are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where they are also executive vice presidents and co-founders of the company. As performers in AEW, they are three-time and AEW World Tag Team Champions, and were the inaugural and two-time AEW World Trios Champions with Kenny Omega as The Elite.

The Young Bucks are also known for their work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), where they became members of the NJPW faction Bullet Club; after a "civil war" in 2018, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page, Marty Scurll, and Cody Rhodes were kicked out of the Bullet Club and went on to form The Elite. They have performed for various American independent promotions – most notably Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) – and had previously worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Generation Me under the names Max Buck and Jeremy Buck. On the independent circuit, they have won numerous titles as well, including four reigns as PWG World Tag Team Champions as well as being the only team to win PWG's annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament on three occasions (2009, 2011, and 2013).

They have held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship seven times, three reigns as ROH World Tag Team Champions, three reigns as NJPW's NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Kenny Omega and once with Marty Scurll), three reigns as ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Page and once with Cody Rhodes), and the IWGP and AAA World Tag Team Champions once each. They were also the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions with Elite teammate Omega. All totalled between AEW, ROH, NJPW, and AAA, they have held eight world tag team championships, seven junior heavyweight tag team championships, and eight six-man/trios championships (with various partners).

Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Training and debut (2001–2004)

[edit]

In 2001, the Massie family put a wrestling ring in their backyard, where brothers Matt, Nick and Malachi taught themselves how to wrestle by impersonating what they saw on television.[16] At the age of 18 or 19, Matt began his professional wrestling training in La Mirada and City of Industry, California, at the Revolution Pro Wrestling School called Rudos Dojo, training primarily under Ron Rivera (The American Wild Child), Disco Machine, Scorpio Sky and Super Dragon, among others.[14] Matt attended the school with his good friend Dustin Cutler, and the two taught what they learned to their friends back home.[14] Eventually Nick joined his brother and attended a few sessions at the school.[14] Matt, Nick and Dustin were involved in their first professional match at an Alternative Wrestling Show/C4/Revolution Pro joint event held on August 8, 2004. Matt worked as Fluffy the Dog, Dustin dressed as a hillbilly and Nick was a high flying referee wearing a Santo mask. Afterward, Matt and Nick wrestled various times for Revolution Pro and Revolution X in chicken costumes, under the team name "Los Gallineros".[14]

High Risk Wrestling (2004–2009)

[edit]

In October 2004, with the help of his family, Matt opened up his own independent wrestling company called High Risk Wrestling (HRW).[14] Matt was originally the head owner of HRW, but had help from Nick and Malachi, as well as good friend Dustin Cutler – these three eventually took over ownership years later. The company ran shows twice a month and helped Matt and Nick learn their craft.[14] In the main event of HRW's "Highway 2 Hell" on August 4, 2007, Matt and Nick teamed up with Marty Jannetty ín a six-man tag, where they defeated Joey Ryan, Karl Anderson and Diablo.[17][18]

On February 26, 2005, at a show for Full Contact Wrestling, Matt and Nick were called "The Young Bucks" for the first time. Originally, Matt was wrestling under the name "Mr. Instant Replay", while Nick was called "Slick Nick".[19] That night The Young Bucks were defeated by the Kaos and Mongol, the Santino Brothers. Later on, another promoter decided that Matt and Nick needed a surname and came up with "Jackson", which the two have used ever since.[19]

With the help of HRW, Matt and Nick eventually landed spots in several popular companies in Southern California. They also gained experience working in front of a camera doing television tapings for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) starting in 2006. The Young Bucks filmed their first matches for the NWA on Maverick Television on November 7, 2006, when they were defeated by Karl Anderson and Joey Ryan.

HRW closed in 2009.[20]

The Young Bucks debuted for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) on June 10, 2007, in Burbank, California at Roger Dorn Night, losing to Arrogance (Chris Bosh and Scott Lost).[21] On August 31, 2007, PWG held the first night of the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles tournament, where The Young Bucks picked up their first tag team victory in PWG by defeating Phoenix Star and Zokre, Los Luchas.[22] At the show Matt and Nick met Dragon Gate (DG) wrestler Cima and Dragon Gate's American talent agent Satoshi Oji for the first time, both of whom were impressed by the brothers' performance. On January 5, 2008, The Young Bucks faced prominent Dragon Gate team Muscle Outlaw'z (Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino) at All Star Weekend 6 – Night 1 in a losing effort.[23] The next night, they lost to The Dynasty (Scott Lost and Joey Ryan).[24]

At the following show, on January 27, the Young Bucks received their first shot at the PWG World Tag Team Championship, but were once again defeated by the Dynasty.[25] During the next two months the Young Bucks participated in the 2008 DDT4 qualifier series, where they lost to T. J. Perkins and Hook Bomberry, defeated Ronin and Scorpio Sky and drew with Los Luchas, before losing a deciding four-way elimination match to Los Luchas, who then advanced to the tournament itself.[25][26][27][28] Soon after, The Young Bucks went on their first Dragon Gate tour. Upon their return from Dragon Gate, the Young Bucks defeated the Dynasty on July 6, 2008, at Life During Wartime, PWG's fifth anniversary show, in a three-way match, which also included KAZMA and MIYAWAKI.[29]

World Tag Team Championship reign (2008–2010)

[edit]

At the following show, All Star Weekend 7 – Night Two on August 31, 2008, Matt and Nick defeated The Age of the Fall (Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black) to become the new PWG World Tag Team Champions.[30] One of The Young Bucks' biggest accomplishments in PWG came at the annual DDT4 tag team tournament on May 22, 2009, in Reseda, California, when they defended the titles three times in one night. They defeated Dustin and Brandon Cutler in the first round, Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor in the second round and the Hybrid Dolphins (Bryan Danielson and Roderick Strong) in the final round to win the tournament.[31] At that same event their younger brother Malachi made his PWG debut, losing to Phoenix Star.[31] Around that time, after the Young Bucks started touring the World, the PWG crowds started turning on them.[16] On July 31, 2009, at Threemendous II, PWG's sixth anniversary show, the Young Bucks suffered their first loss in the company in sixteen months, losing a non-title match to the re-united 2 Skinny Black Guys (Human Tornado and El Generico).[32] Despite their win and the Young Bucks' wishes, Tornado and Generico never received their rematch for the titles as the following month they lost the number one contendership to The Men of Low Moral Fiber (Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor), whom the Young Bucks defeated for the titles on October 4 in a rematch of their DDT4 semifinal match.[33][34][35]

On November 21, during the second night of the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles, The Young Bucks retained their title over Kevin Steen and El Generico and afterwards turned heel by aligning themselves with Brian Kendrick and attacking the new PWG World Champion Kenny Omega.[36][37] On January 30, 2010, at Kurt Russellmania, the first PWG show since the Bucks had signed contracts with TNA Wrestling, Matt and Nick announced that from now on they would be known by their TNA names, Max and Jeremy of Generation Me. They turned on Brian Kendrick, only for him to be saved by his old tag team partner Paul London. Later in the night, the team of London and Kendrick defeated Generation Me in a non-title match.[38] Despite the announcement made by the Young Bucks, PWG still continues to refer to them under their original team and singles names.[13]

On April 10, the Young Bucks made PWG history by making their thirteenth successful title defense against The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark).[39] On May 9, the Young Bucks entered the 2010 DDT4 tournament and were for the second year in a row set to defend the Tag Team Championship three times in one night. The Bucks defeated Johnny Goodtime and Jerome Robinson in the first round and the Cutler Brothers in the semifinals of the tournament. However, in the final of the tournament El Generico and Paul London, the team known collectively as ¡Peligro Abejas!, defeated the Young Bucks to not only win the tournament, but also the PWG World Tag Team Championship, ending the Bucks' reign at 616 days.[40] During the final match Nick was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion, but was able to finish the match.[41]

On July 30, at PWG's seventh anniversary show, the Bucks received a rematch for the World Tag Team titles in the first ever tag team Guerrilla Warfare match, a three-way match, also involving the Cutler Brothers, where ¡Peligro Abejas! ended up retaining the Championship.[42] In the first round of the 2010 Battle of Los Angeles Matt and Nick were paired up against each other, but instead of wrestling the match, they got themselves disqualified by superkicking referee Rick Knox.[43] Afterwards the Cutler Brothers challenged the Young Bucks to a match, in which they finally managed to defeat their nemesis tag team.[43] On March 4, 2011, the Young Bucks entered the 2011 DDT4 tournament, which was this time used to determine new number one contenders to the ¡Peligro Abejas!. In their first round match, the Young Bucks defeated Brandon Gatson and Willie Mack. Later in the evening they defeated The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) in the semifinals and finally the Nightmare Violence Connection (Akira Tozawa and Kevin Steen) in the final to win their second DDT4 tournament and earn another shot at El Generico and Paul London.[44] The Young Bucks received their shot on April 9, 2011, when they defeated El Generico and Ricochet, who filled in for Paul London who was unable to appear at the event, to regain the PWG World Tag Team Championship.[45]

After challenging Steen to a handicap Guerrilla Warfare match, Super Dragon made his first appearance in over three years and named himself Steen's partner for the match on December 10.[50] On December 10, The Young Bucks lost the PWG World Tag Team Championship to Appetite for Destruction (Kevin Steen and Super Dragon) in a Guerrilla Warfare match, ending their second reign at 245 days.[51]

Following their title loss, The Young Bucks started a rivalry with Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno and Stupefied); on March 17, the Super Smash Bros. picked up their first PWG win by defeating The Young Bucks in a three-way match, which also included the RockNES Monsters.[52] On April 21, The Young Bucks attempted to win their third DDT4 tournament and earn a rematch with Appetite for Destruction, but suffered another loss against the Super Smash Bros. in their first round match.[53] On May 25, The Young Bucks and the Super Smash Bros. faced each other in a No Disqualification match to determine the new PWG World Tag Team Champions. In the end, The Young Bucks suffered their third straight loss against their rival team.[54][55] On July 21 at Threemendous III, PWG's ninth anniversary event, The Young Bucks unsuccessfully challenged the Super Smash Bros. for the PWG World Tag Team Championship in a three-way ladder match, which also included Future Shock, losing following interference from referee Rick Knox, whom they had attacked earlier in the match.[56]

On December 21, 2009, the Young Bucks reached one of their personal goals[16] as they took part in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) Impact! tapings, wrestling The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) in a tryout dark match, which earned them the praise of TNA management.[152][153] On December 26, 2009, TNA president Dixie Carter announced on her Twitter account that TNA had signed the Young Bucks to a contract.[154][155] The contracts signed were one year long.[156] According to Eric Bischoff, TNA executive Bob Ryder was responsible for getting The Young Bucks their break in TNA.[157]

The team, renamed Generation Me, made their debut on the January 14, 2010, episode of Impact!, in which the brothers, renamed Max and Jeremy, defeated the Motor City Machine Guns.[158] On the February 18 episode of Impact!, Jeremy and Max were given the last name Buck.[159] At Destination X, Generation Me wrestled for the number one contendership to the TNA World Tag Team Championship in an Ultimate X match, but were defeated by the Motor City Machine Guns.[160] Max and Jeremy spent the next months mainly wrestling singles matches.[161][162][163] On the July 8 episode of Impact!, Jeremy picked up a major singles victory, defeating X Division Champion Douglas Williams in a non-title ladder match.[164]

Generation Me returned to pay-per-view on September 5 at No Surrender, where they replaced London Brawling (Desmond Wolfe and Magnus) and unsuccessfully challenged the Motor City Machine Guns for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. After the match, Generation Me turned heel by attacking the champions and giving Alex Shelley a storyline injury with a double rope-hung DDT.[165] On the following episode of Impact!, Max and Jeremy laid claim to the TNA World Tag Team Championship, claiming that the champions would not be able to defend them for 30 days, due to Shelley's injury, before stealing Sabin's title belt.[166][167] Shelley, however, made his return two weeks later and promised Generation Me a rematch for the World Tag Team Championship at Bound for Glory.[168] At the pay-per-view, the Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship.[169] The following month, Generation Me received a new fan in Tara.[170] After Jeremy pinned Sabin in an eight-person tag team match, where Generation Me teamed with Robbie E and Cookie and the Motor City Machine Guns with Jay Lethal and Velvet Sky, on the November 18 episode of Impact!, the Motor City Machine Guns challenged Generation Me to an Empty Arena match.[170] The match took place later that same night on Reaction, with the Motor City Machine Guns coming out victorious.[171] On December 5 at Final Resolution, Generation Me challenged the Motor City Machine Guns for the World Tag Team Championship in a Full Metal Mayhem match, but were once again unsuccessful.[172] The following month, they signed new two–year contracts with the company.[173]

On the January 27 episode of Impact!, TNA started a tournament to determine a new number one contender for X Division Champion Kazarian. In the first match of the tournament, Max defeated Amazing Red and Chris Sabin in a three-way match to advance to the final at Against All Odds.[174] The following week, Jeremy defeated Douglas Williams and Jay Lethal in another three-way match to also advance to the final.[175] However, both Max and Jeremy were forced to miss the final of the tournament at Against All Odds, after failing to get to Florida due to travel issues.[176][177] The following month at Victory Road, both Max and Jeremy received their shot at the X Division Championship, held by Kazarian, in an Ultimate X match, which also included Robbie E. Prior to the match, the brothers teased dissension, with Max claiming that their goal was to make him the X Division Champion. At the end of the match, Jeremy and Max finally started fighting between themselves, but in the end both of them failed in their attempt to win the X Division Championship, as Kazarian emerged victorious to successfully retain the title.[178] At the March 15 tapings of Xplosion, the Bucks faced each other in a singles match for the first time in TNA, with Max picking up the win.[179] Max and Jeremy faced each other in a rematch on the March 31 episode of Impact!, where Max was once again victorious.[180]

On the April 7 episode of Impact!, Generation Me teamed with Robbie E in a six-man tag team match, where they faced Brian Kendrick, Chris Sabin and Suicide. At the end of the match, Max, thinking Jeremy was trying to steal the spotlight from him, turned on his brother, crotching him at the top rope, before dropping him to the mat with a rope-hung DDT. After Kendrick had pinned Jeremy for the win, Max removed his Generation Me armband and threw it at his brother.[181] On April 17 at Lockdown, Max defeated seven other men, including Jeremy, in an Xscape match to become the number one contender to Kazarian's X Division Championship.[182] On the May 5 episode of Impact!, Generation Me, seemingly once again on the same page as faces, came together with Amazing Red and Brian Kendrick to fight for X Division's future, after the legitimate firing of Jay Lethal.[183] On May 15 at Sacrifice, Max failed in his attempt to win the X Division Championship from Kazarian.[184] At the all X Division pay-per-view Destination X on July 10, Generation Me was defeated by the team of Eric Young and Shark Boy.[185] This was their last match in TNA as the following day Matt announced that he and his brother had requested their release from their contracts with the promotion.[186] Matt and Nick later revealed that the request stemmed from monetary issues, while also venting their frustrations with TNA's booking, noting the storyline with Tara, which went nowhere, and the quickly aborted feud between the brothers.[187] Matt has also stated that after leaving TNA he was ready to quit professional wrestling altogether, before he and his brother decided to instead reinvent themselves and their act.[188]

On March 18, 2013, Generation Me returned to TNA to take part in the tapings of the Tag Team Tournament One Night Only pay-per-view. After defeating Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt in the first round, they were eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Team 3D (Bully Ray and Devon).[189] At the tapings of the following day's Hardcore Justice 2 pay-per-view, Generation Me was defeated in a ladder match by Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian).[190]

At the renamed Impact Wrestling's Against All Odds event on June 12, 2021, The Young Bucks made a one-off appearance for the promotion as part of the working relationship between Impact and All Elite Wrestling. During the main event, an Impact World Championship title defense by Elite stablemate Kenny Omega against Moose that took place at AEW's "home field" of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, the Bucks interfered on Omega's behalf, leading to his victory in the match.[191][192]

They both finished with a record of four wins and three losses, narrowly missing advancement to the semifinals.[219][220] As a result of losing to Alex Shelley and Kushida during the tournament,[219] The Young Bucks and Time Splitters faced off in another IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match on June 21 at Dominion 6.21, where The Young Bucks' seven-month reign came to an end.[221][222]

The Young Bucks received a rematch for the title on October 13 at King of Pro-Wrestling in a three-way match also involving Forever Hooligans, but were again defeated by Time Splitters.[223][224] In November, The Young Bucks made it to the final of the 2014 Super Jr. Tag Tournament, where they were defeated by reDRagon.[225] On January 4, 2015, at Wrestle Kingdom 9 in Tokyo Dome, The Young Bucks unsuccessfully challenged reDRagon for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in a four-way match also involving Forever Hooligans and Time Splitters.[226] On February 11 at The New Beginning in Osaka, The Young Bucks defeated reDRagon and Time Splitters in a three-way match to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the second time.[227][228] On April 5 at Invasion Attack 2015, The Young Bucks lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to Roppongi Vice (Beretta and Rocky Romero) in their first title defense.[229][230] The Young Bucks regained the title from Roppongi Vice on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2015 in a three-way match, also involving reDRagon.[231] They made their first successful title defense in a three-way rematch on July 5 at Dominion 7.5 in Osaka-jo Hall.[232][233] They lost the title to reDRagon in their second defense on August 16.[234][235] The Young Bucks won the title for the record-tying fourth time in a four-way match on January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome.[236] Their reign ended in their first defense on February 11 at The New Beginning in Osaka, where they were defeated by Matt Sydal and Ricochet in a three-way match, also involving reDRagon.[237]

On August 21, The Young Bucks made their first successful defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against the reunited Motor City Machine Guns.[244] After their win, The Young Bucks made a challenge for NJPW's "heavyweight" tag team title,[245] which led to a match on September 22 at Destruction in Hiroshima, where they unsuccessfully challenged reigning IWGP Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers.[246] Three days later at Destruction in Kobe, The Young Bucks and Adam Cole were defeated by David Finlay, Ricochet and Satoshi Kojima in a match for the vacant NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.[247] This led to a match on October 10 at King of Pro-Wrestling, where The Young Bucks successfully defended the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against Finlay and Ricochet.[248] On January 4, 2017, at Wrestle Kingdom 11 in Tokyo Dome, The Young Bucks lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to Roppongi Vice.[249] The Young Bucks regained the title from Roppongi Vice on June 11 at Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-jo Hall.[250] They lost the title to Funky Future (Ricochet and Ryusuke Taguchi) on August 13.[251] On January 4, 2018, The Young Bucks defeated Roppongi 3K (Sho and Yoh) at Wrestle Kingdom 12 in Tokyo Dome to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the seventh time.[252] Their reign lasted just 24 days before losing the titles back to Roppongi 3K at the New Beginning in Sapporo.

On February 24, 2018, The Young Bucks announced that they would move up to New Japan's heavyweight tag team division.

All In (2017–2018)

[edit]
Main article: All In

In May 2017, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer suggested that an independent wrestling show would be unable to sell out a ten thousand seat arena in the United States. The Young Bucks, along with Cody Rhodes, challenged the idea by planning a show specifically for the purposes of drawing ten thousand fans.[261] In May 2018, it was announced that the show would be named "All In", and would be held on September 1, 2018, at the Sears Centre Arena, including many popular wrestlers from various promotions such as Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and the independent circuit.[262] When All In was announced on May 13, tickets sold out in 30 minutes.[263] At the event, The Young Bucks along with Kota Ibushi defeated Bandido, Rey Fénix, and Rey Mysterio in the main event.[264]

All Elite Wrestling (2018–present)

[edit]

Founding of All Elite Wrestling; early feuds (2018–2021)

[edit]

On November 5, 2018, several trademarks were filed in Jacksonville, Florida that indicated the launch of All Elite Wrestling (AEW).[265][266][267] In December 2018, Cody, The Young Bucks and several other wrestlers left ROH.[268][269] The official announcement of AEW's creation came at midnight Pacific Time on January 1, 2019, in an episode of Being the Elite, a YouTube web series created by and featuring The Elite. Also announced in the episode was "Double or Nothing", AEW's inaugural event and sequel to "All In".[270][271][272] On January 2, 2019, Cody and The Young Bucks officially signed five-year contracts[273] with the promotion, serving as AEW's executive vice presidents, while entrepreneur, football executive and longtime wrestling fan Tony Khan was announced as the president of the company.[274][275] On January 8, 2019, the company held its inaugural press conference on the forecourt of the TIAA Bank Field, where they announced talents that were going to perform as part of the promotion including Joey Janela, Christopher Daniels, Scorpio Sky, Pac, Frankie Kazarian and Chris Jericho. They also announced a working relationship with Chinese professional wrestling promotion Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE), an organization founded by Cima.[276][277]

On March 16, 2019, the Bucks made their debut at the Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) as part of partnership with All Elite Wrestling at the Rey de Reyes event where they challenged the newly crowned AAA World Tag Team Champions the Lucha Brothers (Pentagón Jr. and Fénix) who defeated Los Mercenarios (El Texano Jr. & Rey Escorpión). Later that same night, the Bucks defeated the Lucha Brothers to win their titles, this being their first championship in Mexico.[278] They lost the titles back to the Lucha Brothers at Verano de Escándalo in June.[279]

At AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing, on May 25, The Young Bucks defeated the Lucha Brothers.[280] The following month at the Fyter Fest event, The Young Bucks teamed with Kenny Omega to defeat the Lucha Brothers and Laredo Kid in a six-man tag team match.[281] They then followed this with a win over Cody and Dustin Rhodes at Fight for the Fallen on July 13.[282] At All Out on August 31, The Young Bucks lost in a rematch for the AAA World Tag Team Championship to the Lucha Brothers in a ladder match, ending their feud.[283]

On the premiere episode of Dynamite on October 2, The Young Bucks teamed with Kenny Omega in a losing effort to Chris Jericho, Santana and Ortiz. After the match, The Young Bucks, Omega and Cody were beaten down by Jericho, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara and the debuting Jake Hager, marking the debut of The Inner Circle faction to rival The Elite.[284] The team then entered into a tournament to crown the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions, but were eliminated by Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) in the first round.[285] The Young Bucks subsequently resumed their feud with The Inner Circle, leading to a match between The Young Bucks and Santana and Ortiz being arranged for Full Gear on November 9, which Santana and Ortiz won.[286] The feud between the two teams concluded on the December 11 episode of Dynamite, when The Young Bucks defeated Santana and Ortiz in a street fight tag team match.[287]

At Bash at the Beach on January 15, 2020, The Young Bucks competed in a four-way tag team match to determine the number one contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but the match was won by Adam Page and Kenny Omega.[288] On the February 19 episode of Dynamite, The Young Bucks won a tag team battle royal for the right to face Page and Omega for the championship at the Revolution pay-per-view on February 29,[289] but failed to win after Page pinned Matt Jackson.[290] On the March 11 episode of Dynamite, Nick Jackson was given a kayfabe injury by the hands of the Inner Circle;[291] in reality, he had taken paternity leave for the birth of his third child. Shortly after Double or Nothing, they returned and on an episode of Dynamite, where they challenged FTR for a shot at the AEW Tag Team Championship, Hangman Page interfering and costing them the title shot, kicking him out of the Elite. At All Out, they faced The Jurassic Express and won, expressing a new attitude. On the September 9 episode of Dynamite, they superkicked Alex Marvez, turning tweener in the process.[292]

On November 7, 2020, at Full Gear, The Young Bucks defeated FTR to win their first AEW Tag Team Championship.[293] Had they lost this match, they would've been banned from wrestling for future AEW Tag Team Championships.[293] They won the titles after Matt Jackson avoided a springboard 450° splash by Cash Wheeler and hit a superkick for the pinfall win.[293] On the December 25th episode of AEW Dynamite, they successfully defended the AEW Tag Team Championships against The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster).

Super Elite, Trios Champions and suspension (2021–2024)

[edit]

Two weeks later, on night 1 of the New Year's Smash episode of Dynamite, The Young Bucks joined AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows) in throwing the Too-Sweet sign, suggesting a reunion between the five. However, on January 20, they refused to be bought by Don Callis while still being Omega's friends, thus making The Young Bucks become tweeners in the process. This would only last about 2 months though, as after weeks of verbal insults from Callis, The Young Bucks would be forced to choose whether to join Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers or not. At first, it appeared as though The Young Bucks would choose not to align with Omega, however on the April 7 episode of AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks would ultimately choose to join Omega, turning them heels in the process for the first time in their time at AEW.[294][295] They would further cement their heel turn in the days that followed on social media, and the April 14 episode of Dynamite, where they displayed many heelish tactics during their match again Death Triangle (PAC and Rey Fenix) including removing the luchador mask off of Rey Fenix.[296] Ultimately, it would be the Lucha Bros who would end the Bucks' championship reign at 302 days, defeating them via pinfall in a steel cage match at All Out 2021 on September 5 of that year. The Young Bucks would regain the AEW Tag Team Championship in a ladder match against Jurassic Express on the June 15, 2022, special edition of AEW Road Rager, making them the first two-time champions. They lost the championships to Swerve in our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland) in a match also involving Team Taz's Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs, ending their second reign at 28 days.[297]

On the August 3, 2022 episode of Dynamite, The Young Bucks were turned on by Adam Cole and reDRagon, thus being saved by Adam Page and turning them faces in the process.[298] The following week in a backstage segment, The Young Bucks thanked Page for saving them and asked him if he would be their partner in the upcoming AEW World Trios Championship Tournament, however Page politely refused due to his alliance with The Dark Order, who were also competing in the tournament. During the week leading up to the next Dynamite, in which the Bucks had their first trios tournament match, the Bucks claimed they had found a partner and teased who it was on their Twitter account. On the August 17th episode of Dynamite, the mystery partner was revealed to be the returning Kenny Omega, reforming the original Elite trio and the group went on to defeat La Facción Ingobernable's Andrade El Idolo, Rush and Dragon Lee, to advance to the semi-final round, and the United Empire to advance to the final round.[299][300] At AEW All Out, The Elite defeated "Hangman" Adam Page and The Dark Order to become the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions.[301]

After the post-All Out media scrum, the Bucks and Omega confronted AEW World Champion CM Punk backstage in retaliation to Punk's harsh statements about them as EVPs. Multiple publications such as Fightful, PWInsider, and Wrestling Observer reported that after Punk's comments, a shoot backstage fight occurred between the Bucks, Omega, Punk, and AEW coach Ace Steel (Punk's longtime friend and trainer).[302][303] On the September 7 episode of AEW Dynamite, Khan announced that the trios titles had been vacated.[304][305]

The Young Bucks and Omega returned on November 19, at Full Gear, challenging Death Triangle, for the AEW World Trios Championship, in a losing effort.[306] This match was announced to be the first in a Best of Seven series, between the two teams. The series concluded in an Escalera De La Muerte Ladder Match, on the January 11 edition of Dynamite, where The Elite was victorious, winning the Best of Seven series 4-3 and in-turn regaining the World Trios Championships.[307] The Elite made successful defenses against The Firm and AR Fox and Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin).[308][309] On March 5, at Revolution, The Elite lost the AEW World Trios Championships to House of Black, ending their second reign at 53 days.[310] The Elite attempted to regain the championships 10 days later on Dynamite, in a Three-way trios match against House of Black and The Jericho Appreciation Society, but failed, when House of Black retained the championships.[311] In the aftermath of the match, the Blackpool Combat Club and Hangman Page brawled towards ringside, causing the Elite to stand alongside their former stablemate Page, although as the Blackpool Combat Club fled, Omega refused to further embrace Page.[312]

The New Elite (2024–present)

[edit]
The Young Bucks (in "Sgt. Pepper" outfits) as AEW World Tag Team Champions at All In in August 2024

After losing a match at Full Gear in November 2023, The Young Bucks went on a two-month hiatus before returning in January 2024, and confronting Sting and Darby Allin, setting up Sting's final match for Revolution in March.[313] The Young Bucks subsequently became heels and embraced their roles as AEW executive vice presidents, individually preferring to be called Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.[314] After Sting and Allin became AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks moved up the rankings to become the number one contenders and were subsequently scheduled to challenge Sting and Allin for the title at Revolution in a tornado tag team match.[315] At the event in what was Sting's retirement match, The Young Bucks were defeated by Sting and Allin.[316] Outside of kayfabe, Sting chose The Young Bucks to be his final opponents.[317] At Dynasty, The Young Bucks defeated FTR to win the vacant AEW World Tag Team Championships for a record setting third time in a ladder match, with the help of a returning Jack Perry.[318] On the April 24 episode of Dynamite, The Young Bucks, Perry, and Kazuchika Okada attacked AEW President and CEO Tony Khan.[319] At Double or Nothing on May 26, The Elite defeated Team AEW (Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and FTR) in an Anarchy in the Arena match.[320] At Blood & Guts on July 24, The Elite were defeated by Team AEW at Blood & Guts 2024 on July 24, when Jack Perry was doused in petrol and Darby Allin threatened to set him on fire unless The Elite surrendered and offered him a TNT Championship title match.[321] At All In, The Young Bucks successfully defended their titles against FTR and The Acclaimed. At Fright Night Dynamite on October 30, The Young Bucks lost their titles to Private Party, ending their third reign at 192 days. After the match, The Young Bucks gracefully handed the belts to Private Party, hinting at a face turn. Later in the show, The Young Bucks were seen in their locker room shredding apparent documents and proceeded to leave the arena, stating that AEW had become “too chaotic” for them and that they would be working from home going forward.[322] It was then reported that The Young Bucks would be taking a hiatus from wrestling, allowing Nicholas to heal a shoulder injury.[323][324]

Return to NJPW (2024–present)

On May 11, 2024 at Resurgence, The Young Bucks made their return to NJPW for the first time since 2019, where they attacked Eddie Kingston.[325] On October 14 at King of Pro-Wrestling, The Young Bucks made another appearance in a pre-taped video, where they announced that they would make their return to Japan on January 5, 2025 at Wrestle Dynasty.[326]

The Massies were both born in the Los Angeles suburb of Montebello, California,[3][4] as the middle two of four children.[19] Their parents are Joyce and Matthew Massie Sr.[19] They also have a younger brother who was also a professional wrestler under the ring name Malachi Jackson, before retiring in 2010 due to being exhausted by traveling.[19] They stayed in Rancho Cucamonga for nearly 18 years before moving to Hesperia, California in 2003.[19] The Massies are both Christian.[327]
