The Young Bucks is one of the best tag teams in the world but they are not signed with the WWE. According to the latest rumors, the WWE is looking to sign The Young Bucks, as well as other Ring of Honor wrestling stars.
Matt and Nick Jackson's deal with ROH is going to expire on December 31 but they have other offers on the table. One of them is rumored to be from the WWE but ROH is prepared to give them multiyear deals that allow them to work with New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerilla, per Pro Wrestling Sheet.
The Young Bucks are reportedly mulling the offers from both ROH and WWE. It should be noted that the Jackson brothers used to be jobbers in the WWE in 2008. They also had a tryout with the company in 2011 but they decided to stay on the independent circuit.
The move has paid off for Matt and Nick as they have flourished in NJPW and ROH. They are currently part of the Bullet Club stable while also holding three tag team titles across three promotions at the moment.
Matt and Nick are currently the reigning PWG World Tag Team champions, ROH World Tag Team champions, and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team champions. However, it seems like The Young Bucks are not the only ROH stars WWE is interested in signing to a deal next year.
According to Cageside Seats, Triple H is leading the recruitment of The Young Bucks, as well as other ROH stars. Some of the ROH stars The Game wants to sign include Jay Lethal, Adam Cole, Dalton Castle, The Briscoes, and ReDragon.
The WWE recently signed ROH commentator Steve Corino as a full-time trainer at the WWE Performance Center. It is widely believed that the signing was made so that Corino can help in recruiting the ROH stars mentioned above.
ROH does not have the money to keep all their stars financially happy which means the WWE will surely sign at least two of them. NXT is currently full of main roster ready stars and it is time to replenish its roster with some world class talents.
Nevertheless, these are just purely speculative at the moment. Check out the video below to watch the Top 10 moves of The Young Bucks.
