Another Hump Day filled with rumors. We’ve got ‘em!
Lead Rumor: The Young Bucks status
During Wrestling Observer Radio the other night, Dave Meltzer made some comments that led to a lot of speculation on what the future holds for The Young Bucks. In his remarks, Meltzer said he wasn’t sure how much longer any of The Elite would be wrestling, considering their age and how well they’ve done for themselves in the business.
Money isn’t really a concern for these guys anymore.
Matt Jackson has spoken of finishing up his career before, which
could be why Meltzer outright said “I’ve heard it discussed that this might be their last contract.” That made folks wonder if they’ll be done when their current AEW deal expires.
That could still be the case, but Meltzer has since taken to social media to say his comments were misinterpreted and he was only saying they’ve talked about stopping but they are on great deals. He also made clear he hasn’t talked to them directly about retiring, or leaving AEW, or being done more generally.
So The Young Bucks may be done soon, unless they’re not.
