Bucks Contract status

[Fade]

According to fightful select

Fightful Select has learned that the Young Bucks are in discussions with AEW about new contracts
No details on terms or if they have signed deals but rumors of them in discussions have made their way through the locker room
Noted the confusion regarding the nature and length of some AEW details, as WON originally reported that the Elite + Cody had signed 5-year deals but Cody left after 3; similarly, the Bucks stated in a B.T.E. that they had "four year deals"
Sources say the Bucks and AEW are discussing new contracts that would keep them in AEW "for quite some time" but, as of now, no details on what their new deals would look like

For a lil bit I thought it’d be feasible they could at least consider other options but seems like they’re sticking around for now.

better sign them for as long as you can

think last year proved aew isn’t nearly as good or the same as it is when they’re there

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Yeah you lock them up essentially until they want to retire

[Final Countdown Jones]

Sticking in AEW is a no-brainer; their jump paid off big time and they feel like such a core part of the show. Still mega over, still able to call their shorts. WWE is unlikely to let them have all the control they want over their own products and BTE, but AEW is in a very good position to serve them. Hopefully they make bank.

extend their deals until they want to retire and go full-time into their EVP roles

[Chiral]

I hope they get signed for a long while with a bonus stupid useless add on to their EVP title like Super EVP just to make people salty about the EVP thing (for instance someone who starts with a C and ends in a M Punk) even saltier

Would love to see them in WWE, but I doubt that happens.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

Just because I love my wrestling with a dash of chaos, I'd find it hysterical if after all this The Elite was like actually, we're good, we'll take Stamford money, but it's pretty obvious they'll be with AEW until they decide to retire from pro wrestling. Not just in-ring competition, but all of pro wrestling.

I wouldn't even consider myself a bucks fan but I can't deny they feel like they're integral to Dynamite and PPVs

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Even though I get really, really worn out on watching their matches on weekly TV, I've come to the conclusion that the Bucks are probably the ones behind a lot of what I like in AEW's booking and storytelling. So I really want them to stick around.

Yeaaah..I kind of wonder that too. The product felt dire when they were gone and seemed to improve when they came back. No doubt they have to have influence on the product.

The thing that stands out to me is that nothing else on the show has had the level of emotional resonance that the Bucks' interactions with Hangman have had. At some point, I felt there was no conclusion to make except that this was a Bucks element (especially since it's interwoven with BTE stuff) and not a general creative vision for the promotion.

Given both guys have families, it seems like an easier call to take the large sum of money and the lighter schedule that comes with it. Plus they know where they stand here and will have some amount of control on their career in and out of the ring. I think they'd get a push in WWE but tag teams will always have a ceiling there.

[Cyno]

The Bucks and Omega are literally the Elite in All Elite Wrestling. I'd lock all three up long-term if I'm Khan.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Meltzer on Observer Radio said AEW has told the Bucks they want to start negotiating an extension but the actual negotiating hasn't started.

All three of them dont seem to ever want to join WWE so its inetivable that they sign up for the rest of their careers,and it also shows that you dont need WWE to be a massive star in pro wrestling,all three have achieved everything in wrestling that there really is nothing else for them to do now. The only reason they would sign up to WWE is for the money because honestly,they dont have anything else to offer other then that. WWE really isnt the be all to wrestling and its nice a lot of wrestlers hopefully will follow the Bucks and Omega and do their own thing rather then get eaten up by the WWE machine.

[BlackoutCreature]

Come on guys, you know the real money is an Impact! return as Generation Me. Stop wasting time and get to it.

I’m guessing they may want to get to a point where they can leverage the two companies against each other for maximum money.

There also seems to be a sentiment that Omega is undecided on his next move. Some think he might want the challenge of trying WWE.
