The Young Bucks are a world-traveled and decorated tag team in professional wrestling. Early in their careers, Matt and Nick Jackson were a part of TNA Wrestling. The duo recently hinted at a return to the Nashville-based company. However, there is one catch.

The real-life AEW EVPs had a brief tenure as 'Generation Me' in TNA Wrestling in the early 2010s. While it was not a significant chapter in their wrestling careers, fans still fondly remember some of their matches in WWE's now-partner promotion.

On the most recent episode of Being The Elite, The Young Bucks were seen walking through a shopping mall ahead of All Out 2025. After spotting a storefront with the label "TNA," Matt took a casual jab at the promotion by asking Nick if he wanted to return there.

Nick, playing along, jokingly responded affirmatively. However, it was evident from their shenanigans that they did not intend to return to TNA Wrestling. Moreover, Matt immediately dismissed the idea, saying that they had had their time there.

“Hey, do you want to go back to TNA? Check it out,” Matt asked Nick. “Oh, yeah. Shoot. Let’s do it,” Nick jokingly said.

Nick admitted that their TNA run was exceptional, but the former AEW World Tag Team Champion also added that he wasn't that good during their time in the Nashville-based company.

The Young Bucks were confronted by an old ally at AEW All Out 2025

The Young Bucks failed to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a four-way Ladder Match at All Out 2025. After the bout, the Jackson brothers were confronted by their old ally, Jack Perry, who made his return after a lengthy absence from weekly programming.

He then attacked the duo, only to be overpowered by Matt and Nick Jackson. However, the former TNT Champion was aided by Killswitch, who later reunited with him to form their old team, 'The Jurassic Express.' Furthermore, both stars reverted to their old personas, 'Jungle Boy' Jack Perry and Luchasaurus.

With the duo reunited, witnessing the tag team's journey in AEW moving forward will be interesting.
