The Young Bucks recently paid tribute to one of AEW’s standout stars ahead of their big event in Texas. In an interview with Un-Crowned promoting this weekend’s pay-per-view, the duo reflected on AEW’s growth since its beginning, highlighting Hangman Page’s rise as a central figure in the company.
During the conversation, they also emphasized John Moxley’s crucial role in AEW. Matt Jackson was notably the first major talent to leave WWE for AEW and has played a foundational role in the promotion’s success.
“John was among the first to join, which was surprising at the time. He’s consistently been the locker room leader and has put in tremendous effort from day one,” they shared.
All four members of The Elite have had to take breaks for various reasons over recent years. Currently, Moxley stands as a leading figure in AEW, though he remains off-screen.
The Young Bucks expressed that the reigning AEW champions deserve more recognition for their contributions, even during times when others were absent.
“John represents true consistency. Even when we weren’t around, he was always there to support and steer the team,” they noted.
This weekend at the All Out PPV, the Young Bucks will face off against Will Ospreay, while AEW has scheduled an executive position match featuring Swerve Strickland. Fans can find all the latest updates about the event here.

For AEW fans and the wrestling world, this sets the stage for intense storylines and high-stakes matches that could redefine the sport’s landscape.
