Seth Rollins Takes Playful Shot At AEW's Young Bucks
A certain item of clothing opened the door between WWE and AEW this week...
WWE's Seth Rollins has taken a playful jab at AEW's Young Bucks on Twitter, noticing that Nick and Matt Jackson appear to share similar tastes in attire with the SmackDown star.
The Bucks were leather-clad on this week's episode of Dynamite. Emerging for their match with Matt and Mike Sydal in black, fur-lined garments, and fresh Jordan 11s, they also found time to pose for photographs backstage:-

It took Rollins until Thursday to notice this, but notice it he did:-

Here's how similar the jackets look:-
Come on. I know the Young Bucks don’t give photo credits but at least give Seth Rollins a jacket credit right? ??? https://t.co/5EfDaSuZUx pic.twitter.com/eQhDUlq8Ml

Pretty much identical, right?
The Bucks, being the Bucks, have responded via their Twitter bio:-
Rollins wrestled as Tyler Black on the independent scene prior to joining WWE, so that's where that comes from. He and the Bucks last shared a ring on a PWG show all the way back in August 2008, when the brothers Jackson beat Rollins and Jimmy Jacobs under their old Age of the Fall guise.
An item of clothing seemingly jumping from WWE to AEW is the closest we'll likely get to the forbidden door ever opening between America's two biggest promotions, despite Daniel Bryan's recent efforts to build open working relationships.
