“There are people that think they are making a phenomenal living away from the WWE and I have no doubt that they are but I still hope there comes a day where all these guys will come to the WWE and have the opportunity to do it on a bigger stage.”

Michaels also said that the money The Young Bucks make outside of WWE would be even greater if they came to the company and that seeing them with even more success would is one of his reasons for wanting them to come into the fold.

“I just want the most talented guys that are doing this line of work to be able to do it in a place where they can reap the most rewards.”

The Young Buck recently made the decision to move from NJPW’s Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Division to the Heavyweight Tag Division, so their next goal will be capturing the IWGP Tag Team Championships from Los Ingobernables de Japon.
