Matt and Nick Jackson, the pro wrestling stars known as The Young Bucks, helped form All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and the company’s biggest event of the year – All In.
The first All In, which took place in 2018, shaped the creation of AEW and changed the pro wrestling industry forever. On Friday, Nick Jackson reflected on All In’s creation and how AEW has garnered enough attention over the years to hold the event at Wembley Stadium once again.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think the original concept of All In would turn into what it’s become,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. “Wembley Stadium hosting the event for the third time in 4 years this Sunday and I can’t wait. Matt and I have done more in this career than we’ve both ever dreamed of and we don’t take any of this for granted.
“A match we’ve talked about for decades is actually happening and I just wanna thank the fans who’ve stuck with us since day one. We love each and every one of you! So cheer loud this Sunday and let’s show the wrestling world what AEW is all about.”

Copeland told OutKick in the days leading up to All In that The Young Bucks have been on his list of wrestling matches he wants to take part in before he retires.
“Oh, they’ve been on the list from the time that any kind of reality of me and AEW started to come to fruition,” he said. “FTR, Young Bucks, team-wise, like, those are like got to do that, have to do that. They were definitely on the list, but also too, didn’t fully know if Christian and I, were going to get back to teaming. So, it’s like, OK, want to we got to make sure it’s right and the right time and try and fit it into this story and into that to try.
“So, really it was it was the match with Mox that was the vehicle to get him and I going as a team again and for him to lose the Casino Royale opportunity because of his selfishness and then for me to go, ‘See your selfishness isn’t working, man.’ And then taking the turn of, OK, but you’re selfish, that’s you. And then I just got to accept it and then we could kind of start running and that’s just been really fun. When I think of a word, the only one that comes to mind is we’ve just been having fun and I get to live vicariously through Jay’s character. So, like I’m like what if you said this and he’s like, oh, and some of the things, man, like it it’s just it’s so much. It’s just fun.”
Copeland and Cage won the tag titles at Double or Nothing and now have a great challenge on their hands in Matt and Nick Jackson at All In.
