During a recent edition of The Observer, respected Wrestling Journalist Dave Meltzer reported that WWE seemingly had big plans for The Young Bucks after having initially offered them a contract which would've seen them earn the same amount of money as AJ Styles.

WWE reportedly also pitched an invasion angle with members of The Elite, involving the likes of Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, Hangman Page, and obviously The Young Bucks as well.

Furthermore, it was noted that The Young Bucks would've seemingly been allowed to leave if they were unhappy with their direction three months into their deal.
