The Young Bucks successfully retained the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Private Party during WrestleDream in a match that helped elevate the losers even in defeat. Yet, while the EVPs could be forgiven for resting on their laurels considering their statuses in the company, the match would still feature a Poison Rana, a Canadian Destroyer, and a 450 splash off the barricade. And now, the brothers have updated their joint bio on X to acknowledge the fact that they still give their all despite being worth $20 million combined.
Whether the brothers are genuinely worth this type of money isn’t known, but it’s previously been reported that they are the highest-paid tag team in wrestling history, which includes Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in WCW. Whether this takes into account inflation from the 90s to today isn’t clear, although the brothers are definitely very well compensated. Additionally, it’s known their agent, Barry Bloom, also managed to negotiate fewer dates for the duo, which, while frustrating to fans who want to see them wrestle as often as possible, it will undoubtedly add longevity to their careers.
