The Young Bucks, with over two decades in wrestling and accomplishments ranging from co-founding AEW to securing 19 tag team championships, have many remarkable moments to reflect on. However, during a recent “Being the Elite Mailbag” episode, when Nick and Matt Jackson were asked about their favorite storyline, Nick instantly highlighted the Sting-Darby Allin feud. He described it as one of the best experiences in his entire life—not just in wrestling—calling the match they shared with Sting and Allin truly unforgettable.
As AEW Revolution approaches, marking nearly two years since that memorable feud, the Bucks have yet to reclaim their third AEW World Tag Team Championship and were also part of the storyline that saw Sting resist retirement despite their loss. Matt Jackson shares similar sentiments about the rivalry, especially recalling the dramatic moments before Revolution when the Bucks attacked Sting’s sons with bats, prompting Sting to make a heroic final descent from the rafters to face off against Allin and Ric Flair. Matt called the build-up to those matches “really special” and considers it one of his favorite storylines ever.
