The Young Bucks joined former WWE Superstars Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson for a recent edition of their Talk 'N Shop podcast, and talked about how close that tag team came to making the leap to All Elite Wrestling. Ultimately, they decided to sign lucrative new deals with the company, only to be released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, it sounds like another big WWE Superstar was supposed to make their debut during the first episode of Dynamite on TNT.
"People don’t realize that when we were pitching to have you guys come in, it wasn’t just going to be the two of you, it was going to be another person who I won’t name, but another Bullet Club person who you may not want to talk about," Matt Jackson teased.
"When we were originally going to do Dynamite, we were going to debut at Madison Square Garden," he continued. "After the match, three of you, not just the two of you, the three of you were going to jump the guardrail and we were going to have like a Bullet Club reunion. We were gonna throw up the too sweet and then the three of you were going to jump us and make us bloody and destroy us and then we were going to be off to the races. And it obviously didn’t work out."
"I remember the first guy in this conversation we’re talking about right now, he buzzed us and he’s like ‘I just got too good of an offer, and I would have never got the offer without your guys offer, so I just wanted to say thank you.'" Matt went on to say that this person told him, "'I just wanted to freakin’ say thank you.'"
That's an inside joke and a reference to the fact WWE Superstar AJ Styles frequently uses the phrase. So, had things panned out differently, the Phenomenal One was going to leave WWE and reunite with the Bullet Club in AEW.
How cool would that have been?
