The Young Bucks troll fans after claiming they'd exercised EVP "powers" on Dynamite this week
The Young Bucks are the most prominent tag team in AEW history. Brothers Nick and Matt Jackson have run roughshod over the promotion in the past couple of years. With the second-most Pro Wrestling Illustrated wins for "Best Tag Team of the Year," the Bucks are arguably one of the best.
Fans might forget that Cody Rhodes was not the only Executive Vice President in the company. Kenny Omega as well as both Bucks, are also EVPs. The former champions recently took to Twitter to remind fans of this, as they poked fun at winning the Casino Battle Royal.
The Young Bucks picked up a victory against several other tag teams last night on AEW Dynamite. The duo will now face ReDragon and Jurassic Express at the Revolution PPV for the Tag Team Championships.

Russo blasted Tony Khan for initially offering the Young Bucks and the other EVP's booking control before taking it away from them.
"I saw this Cody thing coming from a mile away. I guarantee you Tony Khan was entirely taken by surprise. You told these four guys (Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega) that they were running the creative end of things, and you were gonna just sit back and be the money guy and make the decisions. All of a sudden, bro, you're going into every interview, touting yourself as head of the creative, head writer. Bro, when push comes to the shove, you've totally lied to these guys." (9:32 - 10:07)
