Report: Young Bucks’ Legitimate Backstage Reaction To Tony Khan Airing CM Punk & Jack Perry AEW Footage

AEW

The Young Bucks’ legitimate reaction to Tony Khan’s decision to air the CM Punk & Jack Perry footage on AEW Dynamite has reportedly been revealed.

UPDATE – Fightful Select is now reporting that the Young Bucks were fine with taking part in the angle on Dynamite, which you can read more about here (subscription required).

On the April 10 episode of AEW Dynamite, footage from the AEW All In altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry was aired.

The footage was used in ‘storyline’ as part of the buildup to the upcoming match at AEW Dynasty between the Young Bucks and FTR on April 21.

Matthew and Nicholas Jackson presented the footage on AEW Dynamite, though they may not have been enthusiastic about it, according to a recent report.

Speaking on the Wade Keller Hotline on PW Torch VIP, Wade Keller stated:

“I’ve been checking with people in AEW and I have been told that this was not something The Bucks were in favor of doing.

“It wasn’t their idea, it was Tony Khan’s idea that he wanted this out there.”

Earlier today, it was reported by Dave Meltzer that there was backstage “frustration” in AEW over Tony Khan’s decision to air the footage.

Keller seemingly backed this up and said he hasn’t heard of anyone who was in favor of the decision, and morale in the company “isn’t great” as a result.

Following the broadcast, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson responded on Twitter, referring to themselves as “EVPetty“.

CM Punk has also reacted to the footage being shown on AEW Dynamite in typical Punk fashion.

Elsewhere around the internet, several WWE stars have reacted to the segment including Cedric Alexander, Corey Graves and Shawn Spears.

We’ll keep you posted with any further updates.
