All Elite Wrestling

[change | change source]

On January 1, 2019 episode of their YouTube show Being the Elite, The Bucks announced the creation of the professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW).[1] The Bucks, along with Cody, announced that they had signed a five-year contract with the company on January 2, 2019.[2]

At Double or Nothing, the Bucks made their AEW in-ring debut. They defeated the Lucha Brothers (Pentagón Jr. and Fénix) to successfully defend their AAA World Tag Team Championships and get their first victory in AEW.[3] They lost the titles to the Lucha Brothers in a rematch at All Out.[4]

At Full Gear on November 7, 2020, the Bucks defeated FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships. This was their first championships in AEW.[5]

On the April 7 episode of Dynamite, after months of being berated by Don Callis and questions about wether they would join Kenny Omega, the Bucks eventually joined Omega and turn heel.[6]

At All Out on September 5, 2021, the Bucks lost the titles to the Lucha Brothers in a steel cage match.[7] Both Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez said that their match was the best cage match that they had ever seen, and that it was one of the best AEW matches in the company's history. Meltzer rated the match 5.75 stars.[8]

At Road Rager on June 15, 2022, the Bucks won the AEW World Tag Team Championships again when they defeated Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus) in a ladder match.[9] On July 13, during Night 1 of Fyter Fest, the Bucks lost the titles to Swerve in Our Glory (Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee) in a Triple or Nothing match that also featured Team Taz (Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs).[10]

On the August 17 episode of Dynamite, the Bucks revealed their mystery partner for the tournament to crown the first AEW World Trios Champions. Their partner was revealed to be Kenny Omega, who returned after a long time away while healing from injuries.[11] They won the championships against Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds, and John Silver) at All Out. However, they were later suspended and stripped of them because of a real-life backstage fight that took place between Omega, the Young Bucks, CM Punk, and Ace Steel.[12] The Young Bucks and Omega returned from their suspension on November 19, 2022 and faced Death Triangle at Full Gear but lost.[13]

When they were feuding with the Blackpool Combat Club, the Bucks and Omega said that they had a mystery partner to join them for their fight at Blood & Guts. On the July 13 episode of Dynamite, the partner was revealed to be Kota Ibushi.[14] They defeated the Blackpool Combat Club, Konosuke Takeshita, and Pac.[15] In January 2024, they confronted Sting and Darby Allin, setting up Sting's retirement match for Revolution.[16] They then became heels again and changed their individual ring names to Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.[17] On March 3 at Revolution, they were defeated by Sting and Allin, who then vacated the titles.[18] On April 21 at Dynasty, the Bucks won the vacant title for a record third time by defeating FTR in a ladder match, which was a tournament final.[19]
