The Young Bucks break silence after horrific attack on Sting and Darby Allin
After Sting and Darby Allin won the AEW Tag Team Championship, The Young Bucks attacked them. The brothers have now addressed their actions in a backstage promo later that night.
On the February 7 edition of Dynamite, The Icon and his protégé defeated Big Bill and Ricky Starks to win the AEW Tag Team Championship. The ending segment of the match saw The Vigilante delivering Scorpion Death Drop on Starks and picking up the victory for his team.
The new champions celebrated with Sting’s family in the ring when The Young Bucks crashed their celebration party. They attacked the new champions, leaving the new champs all bloody.
In a backstage segment, The Young Bucks broke their silence, revealing that The Icon and his protégé forced them to attack. They stated they did what was right for business.
“What a bummer that Sting and Derby forced our hand and made us do that. That was terrible. I feel awful... AS EVPs, we have to do the tough things. We have to make the tough decisions. It’s just business. We had to do it. There's no one else in the company that would do what we just did. We gotta protect what's ours, guys, I hope you understand.” they said. [0:11-0:37]
