Summary

Matt Jackson came away from AEW Dynasty thinking very highly of The Young Bucks' opener against Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita.

The match opened the pay-per-view and ended with Matt and Nick Jackson getting the win after Takeshita abandoned Okada during the Meltzer Driver. Speaking on the latest episode of BTE, the Bucks reflected on the bout, with Matt saying it already ranks among his favorite matches.

That reaction adds another layer to a match that was already important for AEW's larger picture, especially after AEW Dynasty's opener ended with Konosuke Takeshita turning on Kazuchika Okada.

Quotes

Quote from Nick Jackson

"Yep, I think Okada finally got his wish to wear my gear live on pay-per-view. It's finally paid off. It cost you, Okada, you little prick."

Quote from Matt Jackson

"Okada is such a dickhead, but I had so much fun tonight. What a great time. Two of the best wrestlers, pound for pound, in the world. One of my favorite matches, literally of all time, this might be recent bias,"

Matt Jackson later went on to say:

"Like the last two pay-per-views. Two of my favorite matches ever."

What AEW Dynasty could mean for Okada and Takeshita

Okada and Takeshita were presented as a dangerous pairing going into Dynasty, but the finish pushed their tension to the forefront instead. That gives AEW a clear story thread coming out of the pay-per-view, because Takeshita walking away from Okada now feels like a turning point rather than a one-off miscue.

For the Young Bucks, Matt Jackson calling the match an all-time favorite also underlines how much value AEW placed on the opener. When one of the central figures in The Elite is talking about the bout in those terms, it reinforces that this was more than a throwaway tag match on the card.
