Matt and Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks were recent guests on Chris Jericho’s, Talk Is Jericho podcast where they talked about the potential of joining WWE and why they wouldn’t sign right now. Below are some highlights of the interview with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com.

Why they wouldn’t sign for WWE right now:

“If we left right now [for WWE], it would be kind of dumb of us because they couldn’t pay us what we’re making right now, not with the schedule we’re on too. There’s no way.” Matt clarified, “of course they could [afford the pay]! Do you know what I mean? I just don’t think they would!

“I’m so used to being in charge of everything.” Matt explained, “our entire business, we run this thing together. Like, I’m on my phone all day. My wife’s helping me do it too, but we do this independently, so it would be so hard for me to just give all that up, to go, ‘here you go! Here are the keys to the car.’”

AJ Styles wanting them to join him in WWE:

“We had just signed a contract with ROH at the time in November because AJ pulled us aside and was like, ‘tell me you guys don’t have any contracts now please,’ and we were like, ‘we just signed.’ And he was like, ‘argh!’ because he wanted to bring us over too. And I don’t know if that would’ve happened, but that was his idea. And we were like, ‘naw, man. We just signed for two years’ or whatever it was.”

Tag teams historically not being at the top of WWE:

“Historically, tag teams aren’t the main feature there, so I mean, would you say The Hardy Boyz were the last big [WWE tag team]?” Matt asked. “Yes, so it’s like, ‘well, do you want to put in 10 years there to get to the point of where the Hardys were?’ We have a lot of weighing options, but like [Jericho] said, if you get there, you make top dollar and you can’t make money like that doing what we’re doing.”

Would they want to sign at some point:

“It’s always going to be a question. No matter how big we get, it will always be a question that lingers on in our career, I think, as well as Kenny because the three of us, well, he went to [WWE] developmental for a little bit, but people don’t remember that. I don’t even know if that counts as a WWE run, but it will always be a question. The way we’re going, we could probably quit in five years.” Nick said, “at this point, [WWE]’s not a goal. We don’t need it. It was [a goal]for sure. For our first eight years, that was the goal. We’ve built this empire, man, The Young Bucks brand. What else could I want? That would be literally the last missing piece, going there and doing a run.”
