The Young Bucks explain why they ruined Dynasty's AEW World title match
After AEW World champion Jon Moxley kicked off the fallout episode of Dynamite with an (underhanded, natch) win over Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps, some music we haven't heard in quite some time hit the loud speakers. Three days after their return at Dynasty, The Young Bucks hit the stage in Baltimore.

Mox and his right-hand woman Marina Shafir considered sticking around to talk to them (he'd already addressed his main event win at Sunday's PPV in a show-opening promo with the usual Death Riders' spiel about the locker room needing to rise up, etc., but made it clear he was not in league with The Bucks), but decided to bail.
Matt & Nick — or I guess they're still Matthew & Nicholas — Jackson stuck around to talk anyway. They offered two explanations for their actions Sunday:
They did it for their old pal Hangman Page, to help him keep his promise that Swerve Strickland will never again be AEW champ.
And they did it as a peace offering to Mox & his Death Riders, in hopes of forming an alliance to finally remake AEW into what both groups want it to be.
The Bucks asked Mox to come back out, but instead they got their former friend Kenny Omega. He pointed out that Matt & Nick didn't cover him in the list of people they were acting on behalf of, and reminded us all that the Bucks tried to take him out while he was still suffering from diverticulitis.
It was a meandering promo (talking as a babyface is not Kenny's strong suit), which was probably one reason for the pop when a coin dropped and Kazuchika Okada made his entrance. Before we could get another tease for those two old rivals latest battle, Strickland arrived to make things a little more even. The Elite decided they didn't want anything resembling a fair fight and bounced.

No soone could Swerve call for the opening of Bucks hunting season then his opponent for the night, Death Rider PAC, attacking him from behind. But more on that in a bit...
