At AEW All in, the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) will challenge FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The bout will mark the third meeting between the two decorated duos. They previously faced off at EW Full Gear 2020. The rival teams then had a rematch in April 2022.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, The Young Bucks previewed the match. Matt Jackson made it clear that the stakes couldn’t be higher.
“The stakes really couldn’t be any higher,” Matt Jackson said. “We’re tied at one win a piece, we’ve had two matches prior that are critically acclaimed. Now to complete the trilogy, we’re performing in front of the largest paid audience in history for a wrestling show.”
“I love a challenge. I’m most excited for the opportunity to feel what it’s like to perform at an event of such magnitude. It might be the culmination of everything we’ve ever worked for, and how I complete every future story I tell to my future grandkids about where my career climaxed.”
The Young Bucks Hope To Deliver With Trilogy Match
Nick Jackson looked back on the feud between the two teams up to this point. He revealed that he was battling COVID-19 ahead of the first match, and it affected his performance. Nick expressed his excrement about being able to have the time to tell a great story at AEW All In.
“Not many people know this, but I had a really bad case of Covid a month or two before that first match. I had trouble breathing for a long time,” Nick Jackson said. “Cardio-wise, it took me a while to get healthy, so that match was probably the hardest match I ever had to get through.
“The second match I felt a lot healthier, but it was on TV so we didn’t get a lot of time. What excites me most is having that extra time and having a beat to be able to tell the best story that we possibly can.”
Additionally, Matt Jackson briefly commented on Cash Wheeler’s arrest, which briefly cast doubt on whether the match would still happen.
“Any time distractions happen beyond your control, it’s a bit frustrating,” Matt Jackson said. “But we have a task at hand, and we plan on delivering.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW All In as it airs on August 27.
