In a recent interview with The Tunnel Talk podcast, All Elite Wrestling’s The Young Bucks discussed several topics, including how the creative changed several times prior to them losing the AEW World Tag Team Championships to Private Party in October.
Noting that the creative changed around 4-5 times before they lost the titles, Nicholas Jackson noted that they were happy with how things worked out the way that they did, because Private Party were deserving of the spotlight and ready for a big push.
“This last run we just had, we were supposed to drop those titles months and months before we actually dropped them, but creative changed I would say 4-5 different times in the last like 6 months.
At one point, we were going to lose the belts to a certain team, and then a month later it changed to another team, and then I remember Private Party came up to us actually and they mentioned about wanting to do like a long-term program with us, and we were like, well sorry man, Tony just gave us the layout of what we’re doing and that’s not in the cards, and something changed and we ended up wrestling them in a match, but we tore the house down.
As soon as we got backstage, we knew, oh alright. It’s in Tony’s eyes, he was like, I think we have something, I think we have something, and Matt and I thought the exact same thing, we were like, we’ve got to pivot, we’ve got to change our plans again, and that was like the fourth time changing plans for those titles to be dropped.
We were happy though, because we wanted to put those guys over, they deserved the spotlight. It’s been five years now, so they were ready for a big push, and I’m just glad Matt and I got to give them that last shove before we left.”
