“I’m not saying it’s going to happen.”

The Young Bucks are expected to have an important match at the upcoming AEW pay-per-view. The former executive vice presidents recently discussed the prospects of a reunion with their former Elite stablemates.

Matt and Nick Jackson have been struggling with their behind-the-scenes reputations, as well as their on-screen financial conditions, since being removed from their roles as “executive vice presidents” at All In: Texas. In recent weeks, the Bucks have found themselves in the crosshairs of Jurassic Express, a team returned together at All Out: Toronto, where Jack Perry reunited with Luchasaurus.

The Jackson Brothers will face AEW’s former scapegoat and resident dinosaur in a $500,000 tag team match at WrestleDream 2025. The rift between Perry, a former member of The New Elite, and The Young Bucks formed as a result of Matt and Nick allegedly abandoning Jack in his time of need. With Kazuchika Okada having joined the Don Callis family and Kenny Omega and Hangman Page no longer on good terms with the so-called “founding fathers” of the company, it appears that the Elite as a group have completely split.

Speaking in a recent edition of Battlefield PodcastThe Bucks discussed The Elite’s current status as a faction, arguing that their gimmick currently works best outside of the group’s context, since the dynamic between its members has changed drastically over the past few years.

“Right now it feels like there’s just two of us, so why even call it The Elite at this point? I think it changes every week. We’d love for it to be a thing, but right now we don’t feel like it fits the character that we play. I feel like the two of us as Young Bucks fit better with what we do, because we can’t leave Okada without an entry, he’s too cool. So that’s where we are, at this moment. That might change later.” – Nick Jackson said.

The former AEW World Tag Team Champions also refused to rule out the possibility of a future reunion with Omega and Hangman, stating:

“I think there’s always a chance to bring him back. It’s All ‘Elite’ Wrestling, and I think it’s in the DNA, and it would be stupid not to give the audience maybe one last reunion. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but I think it would be stupid not to do it before we quit, before Kenny quits, before Hangman quits. I think there’s money in that, and I think it would be ridiculous no to see him at least one more time,” Matt Jackson said. [H/T – WrestleTalk on X]

The Young Bucks got beaten again this week on AEW Dynamite

Ahead of their upcoming fight against Jurassic Express at AEW WrestleDream 2025, The Young Bucks launched a blind assault on Jack Perry and Luchasaurus this week on AEW Dynamite, after the duo successfully teamed with Kenny Omega against members of the Don Callis Family. Before they could plant “Jungle” Jack with a TK Driver, The Cleaner stepped in and stopped Matt and Nick, allowing Luchasaurus to flatten them with a double clothesline. Perry then took flight and neutralized the heels with an assisted high-flying maneuver.
