The Young Bucks Get Full-On JOBBER Entrance On AEW Dynamite (AEW News)

The Young Bucks continue to get the jobber treatment in AEW.

Continuing the theme of the Young Bucks having lost their AEW EVP privileges, the Jacksons have now been reduced to a 'jobber' entrance.

As the Bucks got ready to take on the Outrunners on last night's Dynamite, there was no big entrance for Matt and Nick. In fact, there was no entrance at all, really.

Instead, the Young Bucks were already in the ring, with Justin Roberts briefly announcing them as "Nick and Matt Jackson", rather than the previous Nicholas and Matthew monikers they were going with before All In.

To add insult to injury, the Jacksons didn't even get a proper match graphic. As you can see above, rather than having their names, a statistic about them, and their social media tags, the Young Bucks literally had a "Stat, Talent Name, Social Media" template in place - all as they were serenaded with chants of "Jobbers! Jobbers! Jobbers!" by the fans in attendance at Chicago's Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom.

Of course, the Young Bucks put their EVP status on the line at All In against Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland. Should Ospreay and Swerve have lost, neither man would've been able to challenge for the AEW World Championship for a whole year. It was the Bucks who ended up on the losing end earlier this month, though, and AEW continues to lean into Nick and Matt's fall from grace.

As for the match itself last night, the Young Bucks scored the win after hitting the TK Driver on Turbo Floyd, which means the Jacksons advance to the semi-finals of the tag team eliminator tournament, where they'll face either the Gates of Agony or Brody King and Bandido. For the winners of this latest tourney, they receive a shot at the AEW Tag Team Titles at Forbidden Door next month.
