In a recent interview with TVInsider.com, All Elite Wrestling’s Matt and Nick Jackson discussed their recent loss to Private Party. This loss saw The Young Bucks eliminated from the tag team tournament currently underway to crown the inaugural AEW Tag Team Champions.
Nick Jackson explained that they wanted to face Private Party, knowing that it would be a huge moment for the young team:
“For them to deliver such a great performance four or five years into their professional wrestling career, it was mind-blowing. Isiah is 22-years-old for crying out loud. If I was 22 years old and was in his same spot. If I was about to perform in front of a TNT audience, I would be nervous. You couldn’t read that on both of them. I told Matt afterward that they are obviously ready to become stars.”
His brother, Matt Jackson, added that “It really felt like they belonged. We can talk and plan for months like we did. We set the whole thing up, but sometimes things don’t really happen the same…But sometimes things click.
He continued, “Story was told almost perfectly. I watched the match back, and usually I can’t stand watching my matches back because I’m a bit of a perfectionist. However, for me, with the time given, the story we were able to tell, that is almost as perfect as a match you can have. They played their roles flawlessly. I feel that night they were made. I’m really happy for them.”
Private Party is scheduled to compete against the Lucha Bros in the next round of the AEW Tag Team Tournament tonight on AEW: Dynamite.
