10 Unlikely Wrestling Faction Members That Totally Worked

Your tolerance for The Young Bucks in 2024 may vary. This writer hasn't been a big fan for a long, long time, but did like how the Jackson boys started leaning on their EVP status to become heels ahead of retiring Sting. Whether heel or baby, one guy has always been there for them: Brandon Cutler.

The hapless hanger-on is a glorified cameraman for The Elite, but he does technically qualify as a full-time member. When The Bucks aren't forcing Brandon to film their stuff backstage, they're using him as a verbal punching bag. He gets the blame whenever a babyface enters the shot and puts Matt or Nick in their place.

"Screw you, Brandon". "What are you looking at, Brandon?" etc etc.

It's a simple role, albeit one that works well on AEW TV. Cutler is hardly going to break out on his own as a standalone star, but he's useful as a put-upon staff member who only wants to make guys who used to respect him happy.
