The Young Bucks were initially set for a Wrestle Kingdom 17 appearance. However, the appearance would not come together in the end.
While speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Matt and Nick Jackson talked about Wrestle Kingdom 17 and noted that they got a “fantastic offer” to wrestle and accompany Omega to the ring.
“We were actually asked to wrestle and be in Kenny’s corner. But Matt and I had vacation plans that week. Maybe next year. Who knows?
We got a fantastic offer. Personally, the timing and the situation didn’t fit for us. I’m sure one day you’ll see us back in a NJPW ring.
The Young Bucks to Sports Illustrated
We will have to wait and see whether The Young Bucks ever return to NJPW in the future. Until then, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega are content with competing for the AEW Trios Tag Team Championships.
