Young Bucks discuss bucket-list AEW Revolution moment
At AEW Revolution, The Young Bucks got to cross something off of their bucket list.
Sunday’s pay-per-view included an AEW Tag Team title match where FTR retained over The Young Bucks. It was a big moment for Matt & Nick Jackson with the two wrestling at Crypto.com Arena for the first time. Formerly known as the Staples Center, the venue is where the Bucks went to see pro wrestling when they were growing up in Southern California.
In a new video uploaded to the Being the Elite YouTube channel, Nick Jackson said Crypto.com Arena was one of only two venues remaining on their bucket list of places to wrestle at. All that’s left is Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“We went to many wrestling shows prior, years ago in this same exact building. WrestleMania 21, I want to say. And that was 20-something years ago,” Nick Jackson said before the PPV.
“And to do it all tonight with our kids, their cousins, our family. We have 30 people coming here tonight. It’s going to be a big, emotional day,” Matt Jackson added. “I think we may be a mess. Maybe the most emotional day of our career, possibly. I have nerves that I don’t normally have. I always have butterflies, but they’re fluttering around a lot today. So it’s going to be a big night for us.”
The Young Bucks brought their children and other family members to the ring when they made their entrance at the PPV. They had special gear for the occasion, using the Los Angeles Lakers’ color scheme while FTR dressed in Boston Celtics colors.
AEW’s post-Revolution episode of Dynamite will also take place from California, with the Save Mart Center in Fresno hosting Wednesday’s show along with a taping for AEW Collision.
