In follow-up segments, the Young Bucks were seen in their locker room with Brandon Cutler and Kazuchika Okada shredding papers and being concerned over something unknown and later left the venue saying they would be “working at home” due to AEW scene being too chaotic.

The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported in his AEW Dynamite Recap report that his sources stated that the Young Bucks’ Nicholas Jackson has been dealing with a separated shoulder injury for the past several weeks.

No other details were given regarding how or when the injury had happened.
