They were booked for a bout at the event.However, they recalled not finding their names on the card.
Eventually, the promoter introduced them as Young Bucks mistakenly and that is how it came into being.
Matt said:
“And it says ‘vs. Matt and Nick, The Young Bucks,’ and I go, ‘Why are you calling us Matt and Nick, The Young Bucks?’ He’s like, ‘Dude, I’m gonna be really honest with you, I couldn’t remember your guys’ names, and when we kept going back to the match and we were talking about it, we just kept referring to you guys as Matt and Nick, those Young Bucks. So that’s just going to be your name today, okay?’ Our hearts just sunk. We’re like, ‘That’s great!’ And as soon as he walked away, we’re in panic mode. We can’t be Matt and Nick, The Young Bucks. That’s the worst thing ever.”
They also serve as the Executive Vice President in AEW. The duo are also releasing their new book, ‘Young Bucks:Killing the Business from Backyards to the Big Leagues.’
