The Aftermath of AEW Full Gear
Following a notable loss to The Golden Jets at AEW Full Gear, the Young Bucks, comprising Matt and Nick Jackson, have decided to step away from wrestling and their popular series, Being The Elite. This hiatus has sparked considerable discussion in the wrestling community about their future in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Dave Meltzer Sheds Light on Creative Plans
Renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, shed some light on potential creative directions for the Young Bucks upon their return. Meltzer suggests a significant shift in their characters, quoting, “The Young Bucks are obviously being repackaged as heels and will be playing into their negativity like they did years ago with Killing the Business and Spot Monkey merchandise.” This heel turn seems to be a strategic move, tapping into their earlier personas that emphasized a more villainous approach.
Formation of a New Heel Stable
The proposed creative direction involves the Young Bucks forming a new heel stable, potentially with close ally and AEW wrestler Brandon Cutler. Cutler has been actively involved in advancing the Young Bucks’ storyline through his social media, hinting at this new alliance. Meltzer elaborates, “They’ve trademarked KTB Wrestling (Killing the Business Wrestling) for merch and Superdick Party although KTB is not part of the AEW stable idea and right now is for outside AEW projects. They look to be doing a heel group with Brandon Cutler.” This move would mark a significant shift in their AEW narrative.
Possible Inclusion of Colt Cabana
Further adding to the intrigue, Meltzer reports that Colt Cabana’s name has been floated as a potential member of this new faction. However, his involvement is not confirmed. Meltzer notes, “Colt Cabana’s name has been mentioned but that doesn’t appear to be a certainty.” The integration of Cabana into this new stable would add an interesting dynamic to the group.
The Uncertain Timeline of the Young Bucks’ Return
With the Young Bucks set to miss AEW Dynamite and no clear timetable for their return, the wrestling world is left to speculate on the timing and impact of their comeback. The duo, along with stablemates Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page, who have recently signed new multi-year contracts with AEW, are poised to make a major splash upon their return, potentially with a new, more nefarious character angle. As the storyline develops, fans and insiders alike eagerly await the next chapter in the Young Bucks’ wrestling saga.
