In a surprising turn of events, The Young Bucks have taken control of AEW Dynamite.
Following an incident on April 24th’s AEW Dynamite where Jack Perry and AEW Executive Vice Presidents The Young Bucks, comprised of brothers Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, confronted and attacked the company’s CEO Tony Khan, the situation escalated quickly. Due to injuries sustained from the altercation, Khan was reported to be unable to travel, leaving him to manage AEW affairs from a distance.
Despite his remote management, Khan made an appearance at the beginning of the May 1st edition of AEW Dynamite sporting a neck brace. He confirmed his inability to be physically present due to the attack. Suddenly, the broadcast experienced technical interference, which turned out to be a deliberate act by the Young Bucks. They capitalized on the moment to declare their presence at the venue and their newfound authority.
Matthew Jackson emphasized the fans’ potential curiosity about their onsite presence after the altercation with Khan. With a reminder of their “iron-clad contracts” featuring a foundational clause, he assured that they and their allies were there to stay. Furthermore, he clarified a significant detail in their contracts stating that in the event of Khan’s unreachability or absence, it would be the EVPs’ duty to oversee the operations. Matthew thus proclaimed their temporary control over AEW Dynamite’s proceedings.
