Young Bucks Receive ‘Wrestling Superstar Virgil’ Treatment At Meet And Greet
The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) continue to be treated like jobbers in their own company.
At a meet and greet ahead of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, the Bucks got the “Virgil: Wrestling Superstar” treatment. Their banner included a hyperlink to a photo as opposed to an actual image, three stars on each side, and “Wrestling Stars” underneath.
The Bucks wrote on social media, “Pulled from dinner for a last second meet & greet. So disrespectful.”

The disrespect continues for the @youngbucks 😒
The former EVPs were NOT impressed with their treatment at the AEW x NJPW #ForbiddenDoor First Look Fan Event in London today! https://t.co/N8RWZRkqrc pic.twitter.com/U3cfn27qdY

The former AEW Tag Team Champions have been given the jobber treatment since AEW All In when they lost their EVP status against Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland. They’ve been given terrible music, MS Paint graphics, poor introductions, and identified by the wrong names.
They will compete against Paraon (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) on AEW Collision. At Forbidden Door, they will team with Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Gabe Kidd against Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Hiroshi Tanahashi, & Kota Ibushi in a Lights Out Steel Cage match.
