The Young Bucks may have just regained the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but it sounds like an even bigger story is already waiting for them. According to a new backstage update, Matt and Nick Jackson won’t be staying focused on the tag division for long, as Kenny Omega is expected to be part of their next major program.
Speaking on BackupHangman Radio, Self Made Pro was asked about Omega’s future after he disappeared following his AEW World Championship loss to Will Ospreay at All In. He responded by revealing what he says is the next big direction for The Elite.
“I can tell you that the next big Kenny Omega storyline is gonna be him and the Young Bucks against the New Level and Swerve. That’s the next major direction for them.”
According to Self Made Pro, that’s only part of the story. He hinted that fans shouldn’t assume everyone involved will be on the side they’d expect.
“Not only is that the next major direction for them, you guys are gonna be surprised by what the alignments are. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
Omega hasn’t appeared on AEW television since dropping the AEW World Championship to Will Ospreay at All In, while The Young Bucks are coming off a huge night at AEW All Out, where they regained the AEW World Tag Team Championship by defeating Cage & Cope and FTR in a chaotic three-way ladder match.
For now, it’s still just a backstage report, but it paints a pretty interesting picture of where AEW could be heading next. Omega’s return has been looming since All In, and if he comes back straight into a program with The Young Bucks, Swerve and The New Level, it could quickly become one of the promotion’s biggest storylines. The biggest question now isn’t whether Omega returns—it’s what those “surprising” alignments are going to look like.
If this is the direction AEW is heading, what do you think the surprise alignments will be? Let us know your predictions in the comments below.
