The Young Bucks are one of wrestling’s biggest tag teams, and recently heaped some praise on one of WWE’s biggest duos.
In a recent episode of Being the Elite, the duo was answering questions while driving. The topic of tag teams came up, and the group was asked who the best tag team outside of All Elite Wrestling was. Matt Jackson was quick to prop up WWE‘s The Usos as the answer.
“We’ve got most of them, right? I mean, I guess you have to say the Usos,” said Matt. Nick Jackson noted he couldn’t speak to that as he mostly just watches AEW, but Matt referenced an early encounter with the duo in 2011 as his reasoning.
“I will say this, years and years and years ago, this was probably in 2011, I believe, we got to go backstage at, I think it was a.. I think it was SmackDown when we actually did this,” said Jackson. “It was SmackDown, it was prior to the show, so all the boys were out there watching, and we got to do a, sort of like a tryout match in front of the boys, and we got to wrestle the Usos, and even way back then, those guys were awesome.
“They’re really good. Next level, they were calling great stuff on the fly, and I remember afterward thinking like, ‘whoa, those guys are good, I would really like to have a proper match with them one day.’ Now, fast forward all these years later, it’s probably not possible. But hey, you know, I recognize that they’ve done some great stuff.”
Of course, the idea of both teams ever facing off now, at the peak of their popularity, is something fans would love to see, but likely won’t be anytime soon.
