The Young Bucks Talk Possibly Joining WWE Once Their Contract Expires

The Young Bucks, consisting of Matt and Nick Jackson, are and have been one of the hottest acts on the independent wrestling scene for years. They currently hold Tag Team Titles in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

The Young Bucks were recently interviewed by Vice Sports. During the interview, they talked about how, this time last year, AJ Styles was hoping they would come to World Wrestling Entertainment with him.

Matt Jackson: “When A.J. was about to leave, he pulled us aside before anybody knew anything and he asked us about our contracts. At that point, it was December and we had just signed—we signed in November. He’s like, ‘You did? Ughhh.’ The idea was he was going to try and get us to walk out with him and be the guys with him… If we never signed, there’s a great chance we could have been walking out on Raw with those guys, I feel.”

The Young Bucks recently re-signed with Ring of Honor and New Japan in a deal that will keep them there for another two years. However, it seems like once their contract expires in two years, they may try and finally enter the biggest wrestling company in the world.

Matt Jackson: “You have to go there to be the greatest of all time. That’s in the eyes of the fans. Unless you’re a WWE Hall of Famer eventually, you almost have a wasted career in their eyes. It’s sad that it’s like that.

“Maybe then we think, You know what, if we’re ever going to go to [WWE], let’s go now. Because it’s going to be now or never.”
