The Young Bucks Make NJPW Return at Strong Style Evolved

The Young Bucks have officially reemerged, breaking their silence with a dramatic appearance at NJPW Strong Style Evolved on Sunday. The former AEW Tag Team Champions made their presence felt with a surprise attack, setting the stage for a bold new chapter.

The Bucks stormed the ring after a hard-fought match, targeting Hiromu Takahashi, Yota Tsuji, and Shingo Takagi while assisting Jack Perry and Konosuke Takeshita. Perry seemed as shocked as the NJPW crowd, but The Bucks weren’t there just to play backup—they had a message.

In a fiery promo, the duo expressed their excitement about returning to NJPW and made a bold declaration: they’re coming for the IWGP Tag Team titles. “It’s great to be back in an NJPW ring,” they said, promising to make their mark at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5. There, they’ll face Great-O-Khan and a partner of his choosing to determine the new IWGP Tag Team Champions.

This appearance marks The Young Bucks’ first major wrestling moment since going on hiatus from AEW in October. Their break followed a shocking loss to Private Party that ended their reign as AEW Tag Team Champions. While speculation about their future has been rampant, their return to NJPW shows they’re far from done.

Fans are already talking about what this means for The Bucks’ relationship with AEW and how their NJPW run could shake up the wrestling world. Could this be a one-off stint, or are The Bucks preparing to make a deeper impact in Japan? Only time will tell.
