Exclusive: Young Bucks: Wrestlers Haven’t Had The Leverage We’ve Had In 20 Years

Off the heels of the uber-successful All In show last weekend, many of the event’s stars are in a unique position as upcoming free agents.

The Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson haven’t made it much of a secret that they’re going to explore their options. Cody has stated the group will remain together, but a WWE source has told Fightful that signing Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and possibly even Cody is considered a “priority” for WWE, as they want any potential game changers under contract.

When speaking to Fightful.com, The Young Bucks didn’t hold back about their contract situation.

“Contract season’s here, right? I think it’s been 20 years since there’s been wrestlers who have the leverage that we currently have. We’re aware of that, we know the position that we have. Next year will be the year we get paid, no matter where we’re wrestling,” said Matt Jackson.

The duo are currently working with both Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling, where they’ve become major draws. Nick said that their options moving forward are a plenty.

“I think everyone wants to sign us right now, which is a good problem to have. It shows that the interest is high. It’s great for us,” said Nick.
