The Young Bucks say they handled business by attacking Sting and Darby Allin.

On the February 7 episode of AEW Dynamite, Sting and Darby Allin defeated Ricky Starks and Big Bill to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship. After the match, the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) brutally attacked the new champions.

In a digital exclusive, The Young Bucks commented on their decision. Matthew seemingly felt guilty, but Nicholas emphasized that they did what they had to do.

Matthew Jackson: What a bummer, man, that Sting and Darby forced our hand and made us do that. That was terrible, I feel awful. Sting’s a freaking legend, and Darby’s a sweet dude.

Nicholas Jackson: He’s an icon. But you know what, as EVPs, we have to do the tough things. We have to make the tough decisions. It’s just business, and we had to do it. There’s no one else in this company that would do what we just did.

MJ: We gotta protect what’s ours, guys. I hope you understand.

NJ: This is our baby.

MJ: Sting, I hope you feel better.

NJ: This isn’t Sting’s baby.

MJ: Darby, I hope you feel better.

NJ: He’s just happy making a payday. We had to deal with business, and business was that. We had to take care of business.

MJ: We messed up our suits, too. What the hell, guys?

NJ: How the hell are we gonna get this blood out of our $5,000 suits?

MJ: Just really disappointed in you, guys. I called you a role model employee, Sting. Maybe I was wrong. This is what it took to get your guys’ attention? I just wanted a conversation. I just wanted to talk like men. Look at us, we’re covered in your freaking DNA now.

NJ: Business is business.

MJ: Not cool, guys. Not cool.
