Matthew Jackson: It’s Amazing To See How Far AEW Has Come, I Think A Lot Of People Take It For Granted

Matthew Jackson reflects on AEW’s growth.

AEW is celebrating its fifth anniversary, specifically with AEW Double or Nothing on May 26. AEW’s first pay-per-view was Double or Nothing 2019, and the company has grown a lot since then. EVPs Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, collectively known as The Young Bucks, will be in action at the latest Double or Nothing, as they will compete in the Anarchy in the Arena match.

Speaking on AEW Unrestricted, The Young Bucks shared their thoughts ahead of the pay-per-view. Matthew noted that it would be a big night.

“It’s a big night. I mean, five years ago, we stood on that stage and we welcomed everybody to the first Double or Nothing, a show name that we created, actually. To see how far AEW has come, how much we’ve grown in those five years, it’s amazing, and I think a lot of people take it for granted. This is unprecedented what one company, a baby company like AEW has done in half a decade. It blows my mind. Sometimes I have to sit back and go, wow, and take it all in. In this business, we go from town to town, from show to show, we don’t get a chance to really smell the roses and enjoy and take it all in, and this is huge. I think one day, when we’re all retired and we’re all old, we’re gonna look back, and we’re finally gonna be able to go, ‘Wow,’ and to think that me and Nicholas did all on our own, that’s really humbling and really cool, and it makes me very happy,” Matthew said.

Nicholas chimed in by saying that they were very blessed.
