Nick Jackson Confirms Blood & Guts Match Was ‘Taken Home Quick,’ Was Initially Frustrated
On July 19, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) teamed with Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, & Kota Ibushi to face Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta), Konosuke Takeshita, & PAC in a Blood & Guts bout.
The Golden Elite were victorious in the bout, finishing off their rivalry with the Blackpool Combat Club.
The celebration was seemingly cut short as AEW Dynamite came to an end, and a post-show speech where BCC and The Elite buried the hatchet did not air.
Speaking to Swerve Strickland & Monteasy on Swerve City, the Young Bucks confirmed time was cut from the match, and while Nick was initially frustrated, Matt helped him get over things.
Nick: There are some moments, I’ll be honest, I want to say it was Blood & Guts, we had to take the match home quick. I look at Matt and Hangman, “Dangit! That wasn’t the best match. I wanted it to be the best match.’ Matt is like, ‘are we all healthy? Can we walk?’ ‘Yeah. Oh, you’re right.’
Matt: I’m like, ‘Who cares? I’m going to Hawaii.’
Nick: Even I get lost sometimes in the moment, ‘I wanted it to go this way, but I’m healthy, whatever.’
Matt: I remember, I was like, ‘Did you try your best?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘I did too.’
Nick: That was in the ring, not backstage. The bell rang, we’re raising our hands, and I’m like, ‘Dangit.’
Matt: Later that night, we’re eating Wendy’s, just the two of us, watching the match back, and we were popping for everything. At the end of the hour, we’re like, ‘that was friggin’ great.’
Nick: Yeah. I was like, ‘what was I mad about?’
The Young Bucks took a week off after Blood & Guts as they had a planned vacation. They are set to return to the ring on AEW Dynamite when they face The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy).
