AEW EVP The Young Bucks have expressed their interest in purchasing prominent independent wrestling promotions if they become available. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, known for their extensive experience in the indie wrestling scene, notably competed over 100 times for PWG from 2007 to 2018. Since PWG has been inactive since 2023, Matt Jackson shared during a YouTube live Q&A that they are considering making an offer to buy the promotion. He explained that they have discussed starting their own indie wrestling company and even a wrestling school, suggesting this could happen within the next few years.
Matt clarified that he is unsure if PWG is officially for sale but confirmed that if it were, they would definitely make an offer. PWG’s last event, Mystery Vortex 20, took place on August 13, 2023, where Daniel Garcia defeated Mike Bailey in a 60-minute Ironman match for the PWG World Championship. The promotion’s owner, Super Dragon, announced an indefinite hiatus to focus on caring for his girlfriend through health challenges. The Young Bucks continue their roles as EVP of AEW.
Fan Take: This potential move by The Young Bucks to invest in or revive indie wrestling promotions like PWG is exciting for AEW fans, as it signals a commitment to nurturing grassroots wrestling talent. It could also strengthen AEW’s ties to the independent scene, offering fresh opportunities and new storylines in the sport’s evolving landscape.
