This year’s AEW Double or Nothing event featured another chaotic Anarchy in the Arena match, showcasing stars like Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, the OPPS teams, Death Riders, and the Young Bucks. The match included some of the wildest moments and stunts, which unfortunately resulted in several wrestlers sustaining injuries.
According to Dave Meltzer and Brian Alvarez on the “Wrestling Observer Radio” show, both Matthew and Nicholas Jackson—the Young Bucks—were hurt during the match, and they aren’t the only ones nursing injuries. Meltzer mentioned that while the Bucks might be involved in storylines on television, they will likely need several weeks before they can return to in-ring action, as they’re not ready to compete just yet.
Since the Young Bucks took a significant hit toward the end of the match, it’s expected they’ll have unresolved issues with both Strickland and Omega upon their return. However, it remains unclear whether the Bucks will reunite as a team right away or how AEW Dynamite will address the aftermath of the match, especially regarding the consequences for Strickland and Omega from AEW’s executive vice president.
