Young Bucks make debut appearance on AEW Collision

For the first time in its young history, The Young Bucks appeared on Saturday’s AEW Collision. 

The Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) appeared at the end of the show to assist AEW Tag Team Champions FTR. Jay White had just defeated Dax Harwood when Cash Wheeler, and then Harwood, were attacked by White’s Bullet Club Gold teammates Juice Robinson and The Gunns.

The Bucks ran off the heels and then offered up handshakes to Harwood & Wheeler who then walked away in the same fashion the Bucks turned down their handshake offer after their All In match.

FTR will team with the Bucks against the aforementioned Bullet Club Gold teammates in an eight-man tag team match at Sunday’s AEW All Out.

The appearance comes on both the go-home show for All Out, but also on the day AEW announced that CM Punk had been fired from the company. Punk was part of a backstage brawl with the Bucks and others after last year’s All Out, following negative comments toward the Bucks and Kenny Omega.

While never formally announced as a brand split, no Elite members have appeared live in person on Collision since its launch in June.
