2025 has not been a good year for former AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks. At All In 2025, Matt and Nick Jackson were defeated by Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, which resulted in them losing their prestigious EVP titles in kayfabe. Furthermore, they have consistently faced humiliation on Dynamite and Collision since then.

To get their respect and statuses back, Matt and Nick Jackson must create a masterstroke. It might be time for them to become a trio to be taken seriously again. Thankfully, there is a perfect candidate on All Elite Wrestling's roster whom the brothers can ally with and take over the company: Keith Lee.

Keith Lee has been out of action since December 2023. He underwent surgery in early 2024. The former WWE Superstar has reportedly recovered, but his whereabouts are unknown. Interestingly, he might be the solution to all of The Young Bucks' problems.

At Forbidden Door 2025, the former Bearcat could make a stunning return, join forces with Matt and Nick Jackson, and help them defeat Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay in a much-anticipated Lights Out Steel Cage Match.

That said, this is speculation at this point. Only time will tell what happens at the upcoming pay-per-view. Hopefully, the former AEW World Tag Team Champion still has a future in the Jacksonville-based company.

"Certainly, The Young Bucks, people, who have a lot to prove and also, to be honest, I think are on one of the greatest runs of their entire careers. Whether you call ‘em Slick Nick and Mr. Instant Replay, or Matthew and Nicholas… They’re just absolutely having a fantastic year, and you gotta give the devils their due in this case,” Khan said.

The Young Bucks are undoubtedly one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Hopefully, they will regain the World Tag Team Championship someday.
