Did The Young Bucks Think They Were WWE Bound?
Nick Jackson told CBS Sports recently that they were close to signing with WWE in this latest round of free agency.
“That was the closest that it’s ever come to us going there, for sure. And they were great. They were respectful, and they told us what our value was,” Nick Jackson said. “I think it was really like a wake-up call for us. It was almost like, wow. It’s good to be wanted. These guys, they’re teaching us we are valuable and we’re worth this much.”
“It was definitely something we were considering, and it was hard to turn down because it would have been life-changing.”
