![]() Since the day he set foot in AEW, Sting has been here for All Elite Wrestling, for the men and women in the locker rooms, and has been an example of how to enjoy a nearly 40 year career in this industry in a way that actually benefits all those around you. The Young Bucks, as they have chosen to operate thus far in 2024, couldn't be farther from who they were in 2019, and could not be any farther from the men they are facing on Sunday night. They didn't earn that top spot through actual work, they didn't win an Eliminator Match to get a title opportunity, nor are they answering any kind of Open Challenge to face Darby Allin and Sting they are simply using the tools they were given as EVPs for selfish ends rather than to the boon of AEW. ![]() They came back, defeated a team of local hopefuls on the 2/9 RAMPAGE, cheated to beat Top Flight on the 2/14 DYNAMITE, and then declared themselves the #1 Contender's to the tag titles. For the first time since AEW's inception, the brothers Jackson are actively taking advantage of their power as EVPs in the company hierarchy, not only to threaten people with fines (as they did with Tony Schiavone) or to disrupt others moments (as they did with Eddie Kingston this past Wednesday), but also to put themselves into this position to challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championship! The return of the rankings system was intended to provide deserving challengers with their opportunities, to have a system where individuals/teams earn their way to title shots with victories over other deserving challengers, but The Young Bucks arbitrarily decided how it would work for them. The version of The Young Bucks that has taken up television time in 2024 can be summed up in three words: abuse of power.
