Young Bucks Set for AEW Hiatus Following Shoulder Injury

Nicholas Jackson of the Young Bucks has been dealing with a serious shoulder injury in recent weeks, leading to confirmation that the brothers will be taking an extended break from AEW television.

The news comes after Jackson disclosed he’s been battling a separated shoulder, which likely factored into the team’s storyline exit on AEW Fright Night Dynamite, where they lost the AEW Tag Team Titles to Private Party.

Responding to fan inquiries, PWInsider provided clarity, stating, “Yes, last night was the end of the current Young Bucks storyline. We are told they are not planned to return to TV for some time.” Assuring fans of the Young Bucks’ continued commitment to AEW, PWInsider added, “No, they are not done with the company,” and confirmed the brothers recently signed a new deal with AEW, solidifying their future with the promotion.

The storyline exit showed Nicholas and Matthew Jackson clearing out their locker room and telling Christopher Daniels that AEW had become “too chaotic.” While this departure sparked fan speculation about possible internal issues, PWInsider’s report confirmed it’s purely a storyline move, likely giving Nicholas the necessary time to focus on recovery.

As the Young Bucks step away, fans are left to anticipate how the AEW tag team division will evolve in their absence—and what plans the Bucks have in store for their eventual comeback.
