#5-6. Finn Balor and AEW stars Nick and Matt Jackson (The Young Bucks) have known each other for some time

Remember when Finn Balor introduced the now-AEW tag team The Young Bucks to New Japan Pro Wrestling? Nick and Matt Jackson had a disappointing run in TNA before they made the switch to NJPW.

There, Balor took the newcomers under his wing and made them part of his heel stable, the Bullet Club. The Young Bucks went on to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships seven times!

The Young Bucks have been one of the top tag teams ever since, and have won the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Meanwhile, Balor is still working his way to the top of WWE.

Off-screen, the Prince is good friends with Nick and Matt. The two parties have had some good Twitter interactions that have entertained fans.

Even though the Young Bucks never made it big in WWE, Balor could look to head over to AEW later in his career.
