Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, known as the Young Bucks in AEW, are reportedly facing physical ailments following a grueling match at the Double or Nothing Pay-Per-View event held on Sunday, May 25, 2025. The intense 12-person match in Glendale, Arizona saw the Young Bucks team up with John Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Utah, and Marina Shafir, only to be defeated by the opposing team of Swave Strickland, Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata.
On Wrestling Observer Radio after the event, it was mentioned that the Young Bucks sustained slaps after the match, though the exact details or severity of their injuries were not revealed. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer suggested that the damage from the chaotic nature of the match could sideline the Young Bucks for several weeks, but no official timeline for their return has been announced.
Fan Take: This development is significant for AEW fans as the Young Bucks are a cornerstone of the promotion’s tag team division, and their absence could shake up the title scene. It also highlights the physical toll high-stakes matches take on wrestlers, underscoring the unpredictable nature of the sport.
