The Young Bucks continue to make history, even when signing on the dotted line for a new deal.
On Wednesday, it was announced that The Elite had all re-signed with All Elite Wrestling despite interest from WWE.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was reported that the Young Bucks had the highest guarantee of any tag team in the history of the industry.
Barry Bloom, who represented The Elite in contract negations, had told the Young Bucks that as far as he knew, this was the highest guarantee any tag team in pro wrestling history had ever gotten, and that would include the highest contracts for Kevin Nash & Scott Hall in WCW, although obviously comparing a 2023 dollar figure with late 90s in straight dollars doesn’t mean much given how much inflation has changed the value going that far back.
WON
We will have to wait and see if this turns out to be the case, but The Bucks returned to in ring action on Wednesday, teaming with Kenny Omega to defeat the team of Satnam Singh, Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett.
