The Young Bucks were recently stripped of their position as EVPs in AEW after a special stipulation match. The two stars took to social media to break their silence after the development.
Matthew and Nicholas Jackson had been a major force behind the inception of AEW, along with Cody Rhodes. They had a match against Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay at All In, with the stipulation that if the brothers lost, their position as the Executive Vice Presidents would be taken away. While they fought tooth and nail in the match, Swerve and Will were able to come out victorious.
Taking to Instagram, Matthew posted a picture of himself with Nicholas, making a statement about their current state. The caption for the image said:
"Former EVPs. Forever Founding Fathers. Much love. (Gear by @daingersnake)."

AEW President Tony Khan talked about the Young Bucks losing their EVP positions
Tony Khan is understandably very grateful to the Young Bucks, as evidenced by his words about how the two were instrumental in the creation of the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Speaking about the Young Bucks, Tony Khan recently mentioned how it was them who were the first ones to move forward with the idea of creating a new wrestling company. He said:
“The first person who really took the idea of AEW seriously was at first Matt, and then Matt put me on the phone with Nick and that was, literally, seven years ago. Over seven years ago. Matt and I talked for a long time, I want to say July 3rd of 2018, for 35-40 minutes the night before Fourth of July.” [H/T - Fightful]
As of now, it remains to be seen what the Young Bucks will do next.
