Stakes Raised For Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay vs. The Young Bucks At ALL IN

After the match, more chaos ensues, as we see the arrival of Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, while The Young Bucks are still out there. They make it clear that they still want the Bucks to put their EVP titles on the line in a match at AEW ALL IN: Texas. Strickland clarifies that he and Ospreay don’t want to become EVPs.

Instead, they simply want to take it away from the Bucks and give the title to the people as Tony Khan is the one truly in charge. Ospreay runs them down some more before Matthew interjects, saying no as they don’t even know what the Bucks get out of this match.

Ospreay has something to offer, telling Swerve to trust him as he gives them an offer: if the Bucks accept and beat Ospreay and Strickland, they cannot challenge for the World Title for one year. This riles up Swerve, who has it out with Ospreay as Matthew says they’re willing to accept if Strickland is on the same page.

Swerve is very reluctant, but says he’s on board as well as this match is made official. Regardless of the decision being reached, we see Swerve and Ospreay still hashing things out between themselves off-mic as the show shifts gears and heads into another commercial break.
