Zay wants the Young Bucks to get the credit that they deserve.
At AEW Fright Night Dynamite, Private Party (Zay and Quen) defeated the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Private Party previously beat the Young Bucks in 2019, and the two teams have faced each other multiple times since then.
In an interview with Denise Salcedo for Instinct Culture, Zay and Quen were asked about working with the Young Bucks. Quen jokingly compared them to a cool mom and said that they were great.
"I would say, to try to compare, you ever have that cool mom or that friend who has a cool mom, and you’re like, damn, they’re so cool? That’s what it’s like, from my perspective. These guys are our bosses, but they’re so cool, they’re so chill. They’re just so laid back. They’re great. I can’t give the Young Bucks as many flowers as I wish I can, but eventually the world is gonna give it to them," Quen said.
Zay then emphasized that the Young Bucks changed their lives, and he would always be in debt to them. He emphasized how they don't get the credit that they deserve, as he stated that AEW would not be there without them.
"The Young Bucks changed our lives. I will forever be in debt to them because of how much we owe them. The Young Bucks don’t get the credit that they deserve. If you really think about it, AEW would not be here without the Young Bucks. The Young Bucks literally changed hundreds of people’s lives. They made everybody’s lives better by providing them a job, providing them safety. You got really think about what the Young Bucks did to impact this business, and when I really think about it, I could be wrong, but I don’t know if there’s any other wrestlers that impacted the way we look at professional wrestling today. The Young Bucks provided multiple jobs, and like I said, it’s not only the Young Bucks, but it started with the Young Bucks and their YouTube channel. They changed my life, and not only that, they always went to bat for us, they always looked out for us, and the Young Bucks do not get the flowers that they deserve. People need to start really giving them their flowers because they’re gonna realize it when it’s too late. One thing I always made sure, whenever I saw the Young Bucks, I always made sure, I told them, ‘Thank you.’ We had a moment at All In, and I’m taking it all in, and I’m looking at the stadium, and I’m like, man, this is crazy, and when you think about it, it started with y’all. I was talking to Nick, I think it was Nick, he was like, ‘I probably won’t really realize this until I retire.’ They’re just super humble guys, and I’m grateful to have them in my life, and hopefully they get their flowers sooner than later because they deserve all of it and then some. Just super amazing guys, and I wish the best for them," Zay said.
