The Young Bucks teases major AEW tag team could soon break up
The AEW tag team division is packed with top talents. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson are currently leading the division, and they have just teased the potential split of a longtime All-Elite duo ahead of upcoming title defenses.
The Young Bucks are one week away from hitting the 200-day mark of their record-setting third reign as All Elite Wrestling's World Tag Team Champions. SoCal Uncensored defeated The Lucha Brothers to be crowned inaugural champions in a 2019 tournament, which interestingly opened with The Bucks losing to Private Party. Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky represented SCU during that reign, but the main duo moving forward, Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, were forced to split after failing to dethrone Matthew and Nicholas Jackson on May 12, 2021.
A similar situation could be brewing ahead of tonight's Fright Night edition of Dynamite. Private Party is set to challenge The Young Bucks for the titles, but Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy must split up if they lose.
The EVPs took to X/Twitter to taunt their opponents today by simply sharing a caption-less post-match photo of SCU embracing before their 2021 split. Private Party has not publicly responded to The Bucks yet.
Matthew and Nicholas Jackson defeated Quen and Kassidy at WrestleDream last month. However, the duo teamed with Daniel Garcia to defeat the EVPs and Jack Perry on Dynamite last week, then offered to split up if they cannot dethrone the champions tonight.
AEW releases special Fright Night vignette
