'I'm closer to the end"- Matt Jackson divulges his thoughts on The Young Bucks winning the AEW Tag Team titles again
Matt Jackson has shared his thoughts on The Young Bucks becoming the first duo in AEW history to win the World Tag Team Championship twice.
Following Jeff Hardy's suspension, Tony Khan announced that Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus would defend their titles against The Young Bucks. The Hardys were scheduled for the bout, but they were removed after Jeff's arrest. The two teams subsequently competed in a ladder match on last week's episode of Dynamite. The Bucks emerged victorious, so they kicked off their second reign with the gold.
On a recent episode of Being The Elite, Matt Jackson commented on the win and discussed how he felt about earning this special moment at this stage of his career.
"My body is obviously pretty sore," said Matt Jackson. "It was a great night. I realize now 18 years of being a wrestler that these moments are very rare and you have to really appreciate them when they happen. I'm closer to the end than the beginning now so there's not many of these moments left." (15:43-16:21)
Matt further voiced what it meant for him and his brother Nick Jackson to win that grueling bout:
"That was really special for me and my brother to be up there and to become the first 2-time AEW tag team champions. Just proud and happy. Felt like we had a great match. We aren't hurt, most importantly. We can come home to our families in one piece," Matt continued. (16:22-16:44)
A fresh start over
A different hand to play
The deeper we fall
The stronger we stay
And we'll be better

Young Bucks are glad to make people forget about Jeff Hardy situation
After Jeff Hardy's recent arrest, AEW management found themselves in hot water. AEW President Tony Khan responded to the situation by suspending The Charismatic Enigma. Though this controversy was the talk of the wrestling world ahead of Dynamite, the Bucks and Jurassic Express gave fans a remarkable match on Wednesday.

On the same episode of BTE, Matt Jackson mentioned that the Bucks are happy they delivered amidst the rough situation:
"It's just kind of been an emotional roller-coaster ride these last couple of weeks, especially the last week," Matt added. "To have a special match like that on television, make everybody kind of forget about the bad stuff for a moment even...that felt good. I feel special and you can go back to hating my guts tomorrow morning." (16:51-17:22)
AEW boasts a large roster that includes some of the finest tag teams in wrestling today. It will be interesting to see who's next in line for the Young Bucks after they won the titles.
