The Young Bucks paid tribute to their past in a special way at AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium on August 30.

AEW All In: London saw Cage and Cope successfully defend the World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks.

No strangers to colorful ring attire, The Young Bucks celebrated their history in what they were wearing at Wembley Stadium.

Taking to Twitter, Matt & Nick Jackson shared photos of their ring gear, along with a message that read:

“A shoutout to many of the people, places, & moments that have brought us to today. We’ve always been All In on this business. Nothin’ but love.”

“CHIKARA was the first promotion to bring the Young Bucks to the East Coast. (King of Trios 2009, March 27 – 29)”

History Plays Its Part

None of the stars of AEW would have got to All In: London without the history that preceded that moment. Their lives, the good and the bad, have made them the people that they are, with many having a journey that was less than straightforward.

Whether it was Nigel McGuinness attempting to forge a new future only to fall to Jon Moxley in the Continental Challenge Cup final, Mercedes Mone capturing a title that had evaded her, or Will Ospreay becoming the first British star to hold the AEW World Championship, every match was a testament to the legacy of each star at whatever stage of their career they are currently in.

Ospreay, in particular, got an introduction that looked at his history, narrated by his own mother, who couldn’t be more proud of her son. Taking a tour through some of the moments of Ospreay’s life was an incredible moment, as was seeing Jon Moxley hand the star the flag, particularly given how their partnership ended.
