Matthew and Nicholas Jackson are reportedly contending with physical issues following their involvement in the AEW Double or Nothing event on May 25. This development was discussed on Wrestling Observer Radio.
The circumstances leading to their condition arose from the 12-person Anarchy in the Arena match held in Glendale, Arizona. This particular contest is known for its demanding and often unscripted style.
During the event, The Young Bucks teamed with Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir. They were ultimately unsuccessful against the opposing team, which comprised Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Katsuyori Shibata, and Willow Nightingale.

While specific injuries affecting either Matthew or Nicholas Jackson have not been disclosed, Dave Meltzer noted on the radio program that they might require a few weeks away from television or in-ring duties to recover. However, AEW has not officially confirmed any such hiatus.
The Young Bucks have a history of engaging in physically taxing matches. Their roles as EVPs within AEW and their ongoing storylines as part of The Elite are factors in how any potential absence would be managed. The approach AEW will take to account for any necessary recuperation time for the Jacksons in their programming is currently unknown.
