Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks have a bond that goes beyond what fans see on television.
Omega and the Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) have been tied together for years dating back to their time in NJPW and members of Bullet Club. Since Omega returned from his layoff that extended from Full Gear 2021 to August 2022, Omega has been paired with The Young Bucks in trios competition.
Appearing on the Swerve City podcast with Swerve Strickland, Monteasy, and Rich Latta, Kenny was asked what makes his bond with the Bucks so strong.
"We're so comfortable in our own skin and where we're at in wrestling. Whatever I'm required to do, even if it's not be the focus or the star of the show, I feel I have something I can give that, wherever I am on the card...right now, we're just having fun six-man tags. I'm not supposed to be in this epic storyline encounter. No blood feuds right now. I'm in a position where, right now, we're doing six-man tags, it's supposed to be fun, it's supposed to look much different than everything else. Everyone let loose, enjoy the scene, party down. That's my role right now. Am I going to feel like, 'Oh darn, I really want MJF's role, I want to be the guy telling the stories. I want to be on the microphone more. I want to bleed, I want to make people bleed. I want people to cheer me, to boo me, I want a belt on the line.' It's not about that. It's about, what needs to be on the show, what's different from everything else on the show? Do I have the skills to do the best I can in that role? A lot of times, because I've gone through the steps to prepare for it, doing fun six-man tags, yeah, I can absolutely do it. You can trust me in that role and you can trust me with anybody, whether it be guys that are used to doing six-man tags, whether they're greener on the scene or whether it's a fun gimmick match or a best of seven series, which was a huge challenge. I just knew that I trusted myself and in the moments where the trust may waver in myself, I had two guys that trust themselves and trust me more than maybe I trust myself, so we can pick each other up," said Omega.
Along with being the Trios Champion on-screen, Omega and the Bucks are Executive Vice Presidents in AEW.
The Elite successfully defended their AEW Trios Championships against Top Flight (Dante & Darius Martin) & AR Fox on Friday's AEW Rampage. Fans can find Fightful's report on the show by clicking here.
