When it comes to mocking someone on social media, there's no one better at it than AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.

Ahead of their biggest title defense this Sunday, Nick and Matt Jackson recently posted some embarrassing pictures of Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston on Twitter.

The duo shared an infamous throwback photo of Moxley, who had a pink hairstyle during his initial wrestling days. The picture was taken during his match against Val Venis in 2007. Meanwhile, there's another photo of Kingston, who seems almost unrecognizable with his full-grown beard.

The photos quickly went viral among wrestling fans, and people have also responded with embarrassing throwback pictures of The Young Bucks.

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston have not replied to their current rivals yet, but the duo will be looking to get sweet revenge by becoming the new AEW Tag Team Champions this Sunday.

The upcoming match between these two teams has been boiling for quite some time now. With one more episode of AEW Dynamite left to go, we will find out which team gains momentum ahead of the Double or Nothing event.

AEW star Brian Cage will make his acting debut in the upcoming horror film "Jasper". Film producer Shaun Cairo has stated that the FTW Champion will play the role of the character "Hammer".

With such an impressive physique and evenly good mic skills, Brian Cage seems to be a perfect fit for the role.

The horror film "Jasper" is written and directed by award-winning writer-director Keith Vaile. The story is based on a group of friends being stalked by a serial killer.

The tagline of the movie is:

"The Hunt for the World's Most Vicious Killer has just begun."

The film is set to hit theaters from February 25 onwards next year.

Brian Cage will be in action at AEW Double or Nothing, as he locks horns with Hangman Page. Both superstars have previously faced each other on the April 28 episode of AEW Dynamite. Brian Cage emerged victorious on that occasion.

Could he pull off another victory over Page this Sunday?

#3 AEW's The Young Bucks call themselves better than The Hardy Boyz

It looks like Twitter has become The Young Bucks' playground. The top AEW duo is known for taking shots at several wrestling legends. This time around, they have found their new victim in the form of the legendary tag team - The Hardy Boyz.

The AEW Tag Team Champions recently took to Twitter, declaring that they'd updated their bio. In their new bio, Matt and Nick Jackson claimed to be the top tag team of all time, leaving behind The Hardy Boyz.

Apart from that, The Young Bucks also wrote that Reddit buzzes about them via new discussion threads every day.

"Bio deleters. New Reddit thread about us daily. Ignorers of the ten count. Hardys used to be #1 all time, now it’s us," wrote The Young Bucks

These Twitter claims come and go. There's no denying that Jeff and Matt Hardy have already cemented their places as one of the all-time greats.

While Jeff Hardy is currently a part of Monday Night RAW, his brother, Matt, has formed his own faction (Hardy Family Office) in AEW.

#2 AEW star MJF wants Dr. Britt Baker to join the Pinnacle

MJF, the leader of one of the most dominant factions in AEW today, has expressed his desire to include Dr. Britt Baker in The Pinnacle.

The Pinnacle's members are currently scheduled to fight The Inner Circle in a Stadium Stampede match at Sunday's Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

MJF recently had a conversation with Inside The Ropes, where he said that he found himself and Britt Baker to be quite similar, as both recognize each other's talents.

He added that The Pinnacle's next goal is to win all the championships in AEW. But they would not be able to get their hands on the AEW Women's Championship, and that's why Britt Baker could be the ideal woman to fulfill that goal.

"Me and Britt have actually formed a bit of a bond," said MJF. "I still think she’s a total b**ch and she definitely thinks I’m a s***head, but talent recognises talent. Real recognises real. And then when we’re done with the Inner Circle, after we make them disband this Sunday, all we’re going to focus on is gold."
"Now, after we win all the gold, will there perhaps be a conversation where we’re going, 'Well, there’s only one title left?' Then would it possibly make sense for me to pull Brittany Baker over the side and just have a conversation? Maybe," MJF added. "Right now doesn’t make sense, but I’m very much so looking forward to seeing Britt Baker become the new AEW Women’s Champion."

It would be quite an interesting angle if Britt Baker joins The Pinnacle somewhere down the line.

#1 AEW World Champion Kenny Omega names one of his favorite opponents

AEW's Kenny Omega is at the top of the mountain as he currently holds three world championships across three different promotions.

This Sunday at Double or Nothing, Omega will put his AEW World Championship on the line in a three-way match involving PAC and Orange Cassidy.

But Kenny Omega wasn't born with greatness, he climbed up his way to the top. The God of Pro Wrestling recently took to Twitter to acknowledge his match against KAI in AJPW back in the day.

Kenny Omega named KAI as one of his favorite opponents of all time and wishes that more people knew about him. The AEW World Champion also praised KAI for pushing him to his limits every single time.

Before coming to AEW, Kenny Omega was a big name in Japan. The fact that he holds three major championships is a testament to the trust that promotions have put in him.

It's safe to say that Omega's character work and understanding of this business makes him one of the all-time greats.
