The Young Bucks are being encouraged to join WWE and create a memorable WrestleMania WWE moment similar to that of Cody Rhodes. After Rhodes’ triumphant return in 2022, which elevated him to a top fan-favorite, the Bucks may be next to follow his path in the Stamford-based promotion.
The Young Bucks’ Journey and Connection to WWE
In 2022, Cody Rhodes made a significant comeback to WWE during WrestleMania, quickly becoming the promotion’s leading babyface. His rise was fueled by his accomplishments in various wrestling organizations and his instrumental role in founding AEW alongside The Young Bucks. Despite their prominent status in AEW, the Bucks have a history of connection to WWE as well.
The tag team, consisting of Matt and Nick, previously explored opportunities with WWE several times. In 2011, they had a tryout where they competed against The Usos, and later, in 2022, they reportedly contacted WWE under Triple H’s leadership. However, these contacts did not lead to contracts, and The Young Bucks remained key figures in AEW as Executive Vice Presidents. Over time, they earned recognition as one of the best tag teams in professional wrestling.
Scott D’Amore’s Perspective on a Possible WWE Future for The Young Bucks
After a recent match where The Young Bucks were defeated by Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, which resulted in them losing their AEW Executive Vice President status in storyline, new speculation about their future has emerged. Scott D’Amore, former TNA President, expressed his views on where Matt and Nick might be headed next.
D’Amore explained that The Young Bucks have accomplished much both as wrestlers and executives in AEW. This achievement could open the door for them to consider a transition to WWE eventually, following Cody Rhodes’ example to create their own WrestleMania moment.
“It’s no secret WWE wanted the Bucks badly before they helped form AEW — and I can see Matt and Nick, not tomorrow, but at some point — maybe deciding it is time to go have a WrestleMania moment like fellow AEW founder Cody Rhodes did.”
— Scott D’Amore, Former TNA President
Implications for The Young Bucks and WWE’s Future
The potential arrival of The Young Bucks at WWE would mark another significant shift within the wrestling industry. Given their influence in AEW and status as top tag team performers, their WWE debut could be a defining moment at WrestleMania. Fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely to see if Matt and Nick will take that step, possibly bringing the same level of excitement and fan engagement that Cody Rhodes generated.
While no official confirmation has been made regarding the Bucks joining WWE, their history with the company and recent developments suggest that a WrestleMania WWE moment could be on the horizon for them. This possibility underscores WWE’s ongoing interest in acquiring major talent capable of delivering headline moments on wrestling’s biggest stage.
