The Young Bucks say Adam Page “was always supposed to be the main character of AEW”

While speaking to Yahoo.com to promote the 2025 AEW All In: Texas PPV event, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicolas Jackson) discussed “Hangman” Adam Page’s run with the company up to this point…

Nicolas: “Adam Page is our main character. When he’s on top and when he’s the main event, the show just feels right. He’s grown so much as a performer and he’s literally grown as a character in front of the wrestling world. At the very first All Out, fans didn’t want to see him be the champion then, and now they’re begging for it. When you’re able to change the fans’ perspective on things like that, you know you’re damn good.”

Matthew: “[He] was always supposed to be the main character of AEW. His attention to detail, his patience and discipline not to rush things, and his ability to captivate an audience are all on another planet. I think he stands alone in that field. He’s one of the chosen ones. Every now and again, someone comes along that fans imprint themselves on. That person becomes ‘their guy.’ I don’t have that. My brother doesn’t have that. We’re easier to root against. Hangman has it. And I think the fact that he is an AEW original really resonates with our audience. It’s almost like we’re a sports franchise that luckily drafted a star player. There’s extra pride that he’s only always worn our jersey.”
