The Young Bucks really know their stuff when it comes to the business side of wrestling, no doubt about it. The AEW EVPs have been a key component in the promotion since its inception in 2019. With AEW’s next pay-per-view Full Gear approaching, the Young Bucks will face Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho in a “friendly contest”. However, this notion didn’t go down well with a fan who addressed Nick Young over it.

The AEW EVP did not hold back from replying on Instagram to a fan and launching a dig at Tony Khan.

So, Nick Jackson, one-half of the Young Bucks, posted on Instagram about their match against Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho at Full Gear, calling it a friendly competition. But, a fan wasn’t convinced paying $50 for the pay-per-view was worth it and voiced their doubts.

”Nick um, a friendly contest doesn’t normally drive someone to spend 50$ on a PPV,” wrote a user. Nick Jackson responded on Instagram to a fan, doubting if the Young Bucks vs. Golden Jets match was PPV-worthy.

“@matthafer not being on the show was the other option,” Nick Jackson replied, taking a subtle dig at Khan’s booking. A few weeks ago, Matt Hardy on his podcast talked about how in AEW, if certain talents weren’t happy with the booking of Tony Khan, they would take a break and sit at home.
