The Young Bucks haven't been associated with the Bullet Club since January of 2019, when they officially left New Japan to join the company they helped to start alongside Kenny Omega, Tony Khan, and… some other guy: AEW.

And yet, you can take the Bucks out of the Club, but you can't take the Bullet out of the Bucks, as the Jacksons have been linked to the group ever since in one way or another, whether that be in their reunion with the Good Brothers in AEW during Kenny Omega's belt collector saga, or when Adam Cole, Jay White, and eventually Hikuleo made their way into the promotion for one reason or another.

So, in their first match officially back in the group, or at least officially billed as a member of the group in well over 1,000 days, the black shirts, bone soldiers, and ‘Too Sweets' would fit like a glove, right? Nope; not if Sting, Darby Allin, and Shingo Takagi had anything to say on the matter.

In a match featuring a cannonball off the video board, a springboard backflip off the top rope, and more superkicks than you have fingers, Takagi and the Dudes with Attitudes proved too powerful for the finesse game of the Bucks plus EL-P and the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion secured the pin and the 1-2-3 with a Last of the Dragon versus Phantasmo.

If you didn't know the names Shingo Takagi and El-Phantasmo before Forbidden Door, you do now, AEW fans, and you are likely better off for it too.
