In case you didn’t know...
At Dominion 6.19 in Osaka-jo Hall, The Young Bucks defeated Matt Sydal and Ricochet, reDRagon, and Roppongi Vice to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships for the sixth time, setting a new record in the process.
The heart of the matter
Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks told Pro Wrestling Sheet that the brothers were travelling from Tokyo to Osaka when they stopped to eat at a restaurant. Nick forgot to pick up his bag when the two left the restaurant, and it was stolen by the time the brothers returned to look for it.
According to Nick, the contents of the bag included electronics, eyeglasses, $2,000 in merchandise money and two passports. The US Embassy issued a temporary passport to Jackson, and he was able to fly home.
What’s next?
Nick Jackson appears to have reached the United States. The Young Bucks are currently getting ready to tour Australia.
Author’s take
While it is unpleasant to hear that Nick Jackson was the victim of a theft this past weekend, it’s good to hear that he made it back home without issue, given the circumstances.
