The Young Bucks returning to Japan for Wrestle Dynasty
The Young Bucks are returning to Japan.
On today’s NJPW King of Pro Wrestling event, a video aired featuring Matthew and Nicholas Jackson announcing they will be at Wrestle Dynasty on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at The Tokyo Dome.
“New Japan Pro Wrestling. Wrestle Dynasty,” Nicholas says in the video.
“The Young Bucks are coming back, baby,” added Matthew.
Aside from AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door shows, The Young Bucks haven’t wrestled for NJPW since Wrestle Kingdom 13 on January 4, 2019. AEW had been officially announced just days earlier.
Wrestle Dynasty takes place the night after Wrestle Kingdom and wrestlers from NJPW, AEW, CMLL, ROH, and Stardom are expected to take part.
During Kenny Omega’s recent trip to Japan, he told NJPW president Hiroshi Tanahashi that if he is medically cleared, he would love to perform on the show.
“If they cleared me tomorrow, I would be back in the ring,” Omega said. “There’s a lot I don’t know right now, but I’d absolutely love to be on a stage like Wrestle Dynasty.”
