The Young Bucks reveal why they will not be part of NJPW’s upcoming World Tag League.

Respond to a fan on Twitter, Nick Jackson gave two reasons why you should not expect the Bucks to be in this year’s World Tag League.

We’re too busy and they don’t pay enough.

When another fan chimed in saying, “I thought money wasn’t everything to you guys?” Matt Jackson further expanded on his brother’s point.

Truthfully we were never even offered the tour. But yes, it wouldn’t make sense to leave our families for close to 4 weeks during the holidays for many reasons; finances only being one amongst many.

World Tag League participants have yet to be announced, but the tour begins on Nov. 17 and runs through Dec. 9.

This will continue to fuel speculation over the Bucks’ next move and recent reports that certain NJPW talent are unhappy with the new regime. The ROH/NJPW contracts of The Elite (Kenny Omega, Cody, Young Bucks, and Hangman Page) are set to expire in January. Rumors have run rampant over the groups next move and they’ve fueled much of those rumors with their constant teases on social media and in interviews.

In this case, it seems like the Bucks just want to be home for the holidays.
