Why Did Shane McMahon Meet With The Young Bucks?
According to a report from Cultaholic, the meeting between the three men came about as they shared a flight from New York City to Salt Lake City, a popular connection for flights to California, where the Jacksons live. According to a source on the flight, McMahon and the AEW EVP’s were talking together and laughing before they boarded the flight, and McMahon sat directly behind the Bucks. McMahon claims being on the same flight was simply a “coincidence.”
The source also indicated that the men didn’t interact much while the 6:29am flight was in the air as Matthew & Nicholas spent most of the journey sleeping. When the flight landed around 9am MT, the three hung back together, likely to take the photo that was posted to social media.
Following McMahon’s meeting with Tony Khan, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW broadcaster Jim Ross opened up about why he believes Shane could be an asset to All Elite Wrestling.
Recently The Young Bucks made a surprise appearance at a recent NJPW event.
